  • You Can Play

    Here’s another story I wrote. It’s a bit different than the first. Enjoy. The great city on the east coast stands alone aloof and distanced from all neighbors like a man standing on an island afraid to tread with the deadly sharks or through the seaweed that they believe makes up the rest of the…

  • Dr. Louis Fairbanks the Third’s Manic Musical Essay Moment: I Hate Alternative

    Disclaimer: Although I was told to never write a disclaimer in writing school I feel it is necessary in this case: the following post should be considered in good fun.

  • Husker Du Series Part 3: “Land Speed Record” Review

    Five out of Ten 1. Side One 2. Side Two Note: Sorry I don’t go into individual track names here. On the CD, they are all stuck together as if they are one song per side. I know that’s not the case, but it’s annoying to transcribe song lists to the blog. So I’m taking…
