On Craig Owens

This is a really painful first blog to write, actually. I wish it could have been about some of the other dozen topics I had been kicking around the past week in my head but today kinda changed all of that. At about 12:05pm today, I got an IM from photographer and close friend of […]

Bloggings on an otherwise anniversary.

This past Saturday, July 12, was the fourth anniversary of my first day of work at AP. It's kind of nuts to me to think about these past four years, and just how quickly time has flown by. Take a walk with me down memory lane, won't you? Here are some things I'll never forget […]

From The Mail Bag

So, I'm kinda already over using Wilco song titles for my blogs. I'm a chick. I can change my mind.  Anyway, there are three things I've gotten in the mail recently that I'm super excited about. Two of them are albums, and one is possibly the coolest thing I've ever received in the mail at […]

That and the vocabulary

Blog for the scraping.

As the music editor of AP, I'm supposed to not only be familiar with but have a deep knowledge of pretty much every band in the punk underground from the '70s to present day. Not only that, I'm also expected to be a champion for the "good guys" — the bands that are function over […]

Pregnant seconds of awkward.

So, aside from wondering what music editor Scott Heisel’s biggest turn-ons are (for the record: banjo music with high-pitched vocals, Frisbee competitions and those Six Flags commercials with that dancing, old man), the one question I’m asked most is, “What does your desk look like?”And I told both of those people, “You know that scene […]
