The obvious precursor to Bloomington '90s. NEW IMPROVED with super-Indy flavor!
me too. lessee, cb, z, i forget, kate m, not sure, ellen, hidden, someone else I recall but can't name, and mike olenick. Where is this? look at that engine-block hauler frame!
Well, all the CCAA stuff is up (I think at the tussinup.whybark.com site) - take a look and if you can't find it let me know.
The No Death in Disneyland shirts were from a poster originally associated with Paul Krassner's The Realist, I think. Go...
I remember printing some shirts for Steve in the 80's that had a picture of mickey mouse and donald duck and read, "There is no death in Disneyland, they export it!"
I'm still not sure what those shirts meant, but he was sure excited about them.
I'm using the running mole from his business cards. I did a rough mock-up of it this morning and will finish it when I get back to town.
It is one of those 3:00 in the morning ideas; I saw the shirt in a dream and want one in real life.
What I'm r...

"BLOOMINGTON -- I saw a very unusual dark aircraft on my way home from work in the evening on January 4, 2001. From a distance, driving east on Indiana 45, I saw a bright yellow light with a white ligh...
I tried to grab links for the epic MJ bar-brawl here earlier this year to post in this thread, but alas, it was buried in the context of John's even more epic "wuss rock" thread. What's interesting to me about it is that since we have all been the...

- About Me
- Bloomington is my hometown. With a couple years overseas, I lived there from 1976 until 1990. Since 1990, I have lived in Seattle, which actually means I have lived in Seattle longer than I did Bloomington. If you were interested in punk rock in Indiana, especially in Bloomington or Indy, between 1983 and 1988 or so, I probably made an effort to get to know you. I have been blogging since 2002 at mike.whybark.com, and maintain a raft of subsidiary sites, some of which may be of interest to MFT people.
I learned about the MFT project from Jeb just as they were launching it several years ago - I think Jeb found an archive of some Bloomington music I host at mp3.whybark.com and emailed me about the software I was using to present the archive.
- What bands are you or have you been in?
- BLOOMINGTON:
Modock, bass (1988-1989), modock.whybark.com, with Mike Hurtt, Matt Uhlmann, and Dave Cruse
The Vortex, bass (1990), with Mike Goss, Steve Bouton, and Tim Hommey. We only played one show.
SEATTLE
Fat Mona, bass, (1992-1993) - Tod Collins, Odin Bettinger, Jim Thompson
The Bareknuckle Boxers, bkb.whybark.com, mandolin, (1996-2000 +/-) - Odin Bettinger, Karel Trubac, Karl Kill, Chelle Wagner, Will Hollauer, Greg Brotherton, Lance Biggs, Barry Semple, Blake Carter, Sean Kearney, and more folks after I left.

The Hound
Pursuant to Dr. Zink's notice of Miriam Linna's nascent narrative of the Ohio mafia, I found her linking to one Houndblog. The Hound was a key WFMU DJ specializing in older regional sides but years ago he relocated toe NOLA (so I am told) where he owns a bar. Persons who actually live in NOLA and play the rock and/or the roll may have better 411 than I on such matters.

MX-80 back in the day, featuring the Tao and the MCPL
Bob Gulcher diligently sent along this remarkable blog entry from one HT who apparently signed MX-80 to Island Records back in the day:
Asking my boss David Betteridge if he'd "uh, like to go to to Bloomington?" I was, frankly, a bit surprised when he said "yes". So we found ourselves de-planing in Indianapolis and being driven for roughly an hour to a coffee bar/health-food joint (with ashram attached) in Bloomington… Continue

Lostronaut
Lostronaut is a short story by Jonathan Lethem that is in the current print issue of the New Yorker.
It's an epistolary SF piece, vaguely reminiscent of Solaris, about a disastrous space marooning, set in a not-distant future.
Why the hell am I posting about it here?
Well, Lethem published a novel not too terribly long ago, called You Don't Love Me Yet, and said that the title was partiall… Continue

What I'm really jonesing for now is a CCAA shirt. Maybe a fake CCAA meeting poster to post around, complete with fake dates and meeting places. We could all put them up on the same day, all of us in different cities. "Fake Posters across America". Steve would like that, or he would make fun of us, I'm not sure...

Tom Youngjohn said… - I have a half dozen photos uploaded from it on my facebook page, under Nga. It didn't go as well as the Washington State History Museum show, I think. She was nervous, and, for the first half of the performance, the master's pre-amp/microphone was distorting out of control. I now have two new job descriptions, group photographer, and guy who tells the sound guy to fix the distortion.

- Mike, thank you for accepting my invitation to dinner. It was really nice to see you again. Wow. How long it's been. Is that a story I see you posting up there?

Chusid, as you probably already know, is an interesting cat. He was responsible for the Esquivel reissues that came out a while back, as producer. He's also had his hand in a lot of the "Exotica" reissues, during that early 90's resurgence. He also does a weekly show on WFMU that you can listen to on their archives (at least he used to. I haven't checked in a couple of years). The Songs In The Key Of Z companion cd is well worth grabbing, too, even though you probably have music by a lot of the better known "artists" on there. The crazier shit on there is a hoot; Shooby "The Human Horn" Taylor, Congress-Woman Malinda Jackson Parker and the Joe Meek demo are worth the price of admission, alone.
Also, off topic...I've really been digging the Bob Dylan Radio Theme Time Hour (which I never heard during it's initial airing). Check it:

Peace be with you.

Deb Prothero said… - Thanks Mike;
Your efforts to get Caleb some writing contracts made a difference for him. He had told me this story and was appreciative.
Are you still in the Seattle area? And a burner too?
I hope you read all the posts on BM Tribe, there were some nasty unfounded rumours flying about which I was eventually able to correct.
Also sorry for all of Caleb's friends, like you, who knew him much longer than I. This is really a tragic loss of great potential but I think Caleb must have been tired of the demons.

- I'm not an encyclopedia of musical knowledge, but the band reminds me just a bit of The Clash.

- Mike, that is a great idea. I would love to have a beer with you. I have to warn you though, I'm so lazy that, except in my apartment at night, I always seem to wear a suit an tie. Please don't mind this. Consider it a reflection of laziness on my part. Say, I have a client for whom I got a green card. He was a professional bass player in London five years ago and had a recording contract. The band broke apart before the album came out. Some of the music is out of this world amazingly good. If I got his permission to upload it here at Musical Family Tree, could you show me how?

- Hi Mike.
Did you pick up the book or the cd? Shit, I didn't remember the Philputt reference! Good catch!
Hope you're well, friend.

You know who you are, come out and be counted!
Did you spend countless nights at Second Story?
Did you eat at Rockits?
Can you barely remember the 1990s?
Hey Ian get in touch with me while you are in town, it would be great to talk to you even if it's just on the phone.
I sent you a message with my fone number!
drop me a line if you guys play in SF. I'll PM you my email
Spiffy!
hey all!
looks like i might be darkening the door of Indianapolis this weekend. anything i need see/do? i haven't been the state for almost 6 years.. all i have planned is to hit the MCL and QLs in Muncie..
Warped Tour was a blast! NOFX, Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, Flogging Molly, and The Ataris all put on good shows. Hadn't slam danced in years before this; I don't remember it being that tiring.
MFT loves Small Box!
