I've been on and off for the past month or so, but I've got an excuse. A few of them, in fact. 1) I'm editing and contributing to a local zine. Or on the plain ol' world wide web. 2) I'm in two bands, both of which are in the process of recording albums. My main project in which I play guitar and do vocals, Legal Fingers. We Can&...

http://ourbandcouldbeyourlit.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Our Band Could Be Your Lit. 100 songs, 100 stories. Sunday, May 29, 2011. Sittin' In: "The Voice You Throw, the Blow You Catch" by Samuel Snoek-Brown, as based on the song "Little Drunk Fists" by Slobberbone. More from Sam, with my favorite story of his little series here. Slobberbone is such a cool band, possibly my favorite band at this point in time- summer jams abound! I tossed him "Rollerskate Skinny" by Old 97's. And "V" by Golden Smog. I'm at fifteen stories "finished"- four older ones are in vari...

That’s what answers have become at that point: more questions. He said, “Didn’t William Tell hit his target? 8220;Can’t I just die already? Her eyes were puffy and...

Our Band Could Be Your Lit. 100 songs, 100 stories. Sunday, September 25, 2011. To the Gills": A story based on "Terrapin" by Syd Barrett, as suggested by writer Misti Rainwater-Lites (41/100). I started thinking a lot about unrequited love not the summer my brother drowned, but ten years later, after I had just turned thirty and there wasn’t really much else going on to think about. In the time between, I tried to do everything right, but not for very long and not with a lot of gusto. She was wearing sa...
