About Me

Writer, photographer, and champion of the Texas indie scene. I have written for Venues Magazine in Denton/DFW, DallasMusicGuide.com , and TexasGigs and The Fine Line . Currently I blog on Etheriousity . I photo for the Advocate Magazine and Lakewood Now regularly and have had pics in the Observer, Quick, Modern Luxury Dallas, and Texas Music among others. I'm out and about frequently. ************************************************************ ***********

My Interests

Getting the word out about dDFW's ABSOLUTELY brilliant bands.

I'd like to meet:

Local bands, creative people, artists in Texas. People who want to know more about the greatest little scene in Texas- Dallas/Ft.Worth/Denton! Who are my MySpace friends? Mostly, people and bands I've actually met and worked with. Bands I want to work with. You. For more music fun, go to myspace/highlandscafe and I will happily add you there, as well. Thanks to all my world-wide visitors, especially all those in Scotland. ;-)

Music:

Where it all began: WOXY, 1983. I was there. The Future of Rock and Roll . And now, something a bit closer to home: Buzz Oven ! Check it out.

Books:

Do you really want to write well? Read a decent book! As Jason of the Happy Bullets said, "We had good influences." ********************** CMJ New Music Monthly number 130 with Sage Francis on the cover - see page 42 for the fabulous Red Monroe ad and a quote from meeeeee! And buy it for the comp CD with "Sin City Serenade"; the RM song was put on the CD by CMJ staff request, or so the rumor has it. *******************

Heroes:

Anyone who's out there doing it.
