Insider Louisville was kind enough to post this little review I did of my punk rock hero’s autobiography.

Do click, “like”, share, etc., if you feel it’s worth that.

I miss my favorite ghetto bar.
The Tavern (4th and Gaulbert).
The night before I left Louisville, preparing for a difficult and overdue goodbye.

I miss jamming with/talking wrasslin’ with this guy.
Foor and I before a show in Philadelphia.

I miss visiting with this guy.
Bonnie and I, singing some Jim Pepper in Louisville.

I miss playing music with this guy.
Extremely talented, extremely positive.

The never released Louisville Burn to Shine DVD.
I believe this was just one proposed cover.

FNCYATB

Stream @sandpaperdolls “Swallow Them Whole,” from the experimental a cappella group’s forthcoming self-titled digital album, out Nov. 6.

One of my very favorite Louisville groups. Check ‘em.

Goodbye to an amazing artist and human being, Jason Noble.
Incredibly sad day.

Much love and respect going out to Jason Noble and family.

Hang in there, Jason. We need ya’.

My thoughts on “psychogeography” in New York and my not having a home; whatever THAT is….

En route to Austin, a few Phantoms will be playing in a couple of different incarnations at this show in Louisville…

David Lackner and William Benton will be playing “Music for Normal People”, a mix of covers and originals- except….maybe not so normal.

Sapat/softcheque member Dane Waters will be performing her solo material

Ending the night will be Warlock Head and Gristle, a trio comprised of Axel Cooper, Dominic Cipolla, and guitar guru Lowe Sutherland.

If in Louisville, do stop by.

Making the video, record release show.

I get asked about this album more than I would care to acknowledge- but here is the link to how/where you may buy it digitally (for only $5).

I am rather proud of at least 75% of this music. It was a strange band with some of my favorite people ever. It never quire accomplished what any of us had hoped it would musically………..but that’s OK.

Many thanks to Noise Pollution Records for always supporting every single band that I was a part of and for keeping such oddities such as this band available for public consumption.

Bodyhammer- “Cuban Shark Attack”

This is the only instrumental track I recall recording with Bodyhammer and was to be included on the final, unreleased album, “So It Goes”.

The intro was a phone message I came home to. It took a few listens to interpret but it was from my childhood friend’s ex-husband, Gerald(?), as he had decided that we shouldn’t talk any more. In case you need an Okie interpreter, he says “Hello, Ben? This is Gerald…Trish’s ol’ man…better not call her no more and better not catch ya’ll talkin’ no more or there’s gonna’ be all hell to pay. And I’m serious as a motherfucker. Bye.”

The delayed “bye” killed me.
