I just happen to live near the top of the highest street in the city, and it opens up into green space a few buildings down.

The reverse of these images is really amusing to me. It looks like I’m off in the misty mountains somewhere, and this is 100 yards from my apartment. The friend who took the photos was leaning against a car.

My homemade Darth Vader costume, Halloween 1977.

I did the gnome in 2017. It’s the most effort I ever put into a costume, and I still get mileage out of it.

This is their third post-reunion album. 2015’s Anti-Nasty League is one of their best!

Delete Everything, the new album from Pop Will Eat Itself. This one has a ‘90s vibe, with techno synths and breakbeats.

One thing I inherited from my dad is a deep love of westerns. We used to watch Gunsmoke together every week.

I’ve got a complete set of Chu-Bops bubblegum records released between 1981-1983. Some of these artists could only have been popular in the gulf between disco and MTV.

Stored in plastic sleeves, like real records, and filed in wooden cassette crates.

Some of my favorites: Rush, Blondie, Rolling Stones, The Police, KISS, and David Bowie

This is one of my favorite movies, and having a family that all comes from Mississippi, I tend to consider a documentary.

This was a dance club hit in late 1992, and got as high as 58 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s terrible. Jordy was 4 years old.

In the tradition of Nirvana’s Rock Hall induction with a rotating cast of women filling in for Kurt, Samantha Maloney filling in for Tommy Lee on a Crüe tour, and Emily Armstrong joining Linkin Park. Gender flip is always the way to go.
