The guys at RyeBread Radio decided to interview me for their podcast about B-movies and music. Take a listen.

Cheapo Bin – Intro

I like to comb through the cheap CD bins at record stores. Sometimes I find a winner, sometimes I find a dud. But, I always find a story. This is where I’ll discuss those inexpensive, used CDs I dig up and purchase.

I’ve been kicking this idea around for a little while. Now I’ve got a little more time on my hands, so I knew it was time to put this thing into motion. Take a peek, and stay tuned to see what random CD I dig up next.

I (kinda) helped write this book…

When Henry Owings – the man behind Chunklet – put out a call for people to contribute to his latest book, The Indie Cred Test, I decided to pitch in. I was only able to pitch in a small amount due to the whole grad school thing, but Henry was really responsive to my teeny portion of the book.

Anyway, you too can help bring The Indie Cred Test to life. Henry took to Kickstarter to fund the project, and it’s doing quite well in the short time it’s been online. But, Henry and co. still need your help, so pitch in! You can get a copy of the book, a Fucked Up 7″ made just for Kickstarter campaign, clothing, and a bunch of other stuff.

What are you waiting for? Check out the Indie Cred Test Kickstarter page for all the details and a pretty hilarious video by Henry.

I interviewed a couple of the guys in Native with my friend and classmate Tanveer Ali for one of our classes at Medill. Take a peek at the video and listen to their lastest album, Wrestling Moves after the jump:

New Blog

This week, I’m editing a new blog called Reader Music Live. It’s part of a project for my final quarter at the Medill School of Journalism, and it’s a great excuse to write about music in Chicago for school. Check it out here, and be sure to follow the project on Twitter and Tumblr.

B-Movie Interview with Cinefile

Cinefile‘s Nelson Carvajal read my Newcity piece on bad movies and thought I’d be a good interviewee for a video on cult cinema.

Here’s the video:
