Bill Fox -- I bought his solo record Shelter From the Smoke in 1996 -- or was it 1997 -- it was a self-released CD. It was right before I left Cleveland after a short return to my some-time home to move to Iowa City. I've continued to listen to it over the years both out of loyalty -- he was a Cleveland-based musician, after all -- and out of love for his songwriting, voice and music. I never real

Hi MOG,It's been a while as usual but for those of you who check in about the punk class or Kaspar Hauser, thought I'd put a little info here.I'm scheduled to teach the Punk 101 course next spring (2010), and as always I appreciate any tips on new articles/books/movies/reissues that people have come across.

Hi MOG,Well I had another really great semester teaching Punk 101 (see my previous post for a copy of the syllabus). Had some exciting guests this time around -- Jon Langford from the Mekons came to talk about the punk scene in Leeds and the early days of the Mekons. Also featured a screening of You Weren't There, a documentary on the Chicago punk scene, by local filmmakers Joe Lasurdo and Chris T

I meant to follow up much sooner than this, but y'know, things have been crazed ... Anyhow, I wanted to report that the class went extremely well. I still need to work out a few kinks in some of my lectures -- but overall, I was pleased with how things ...

This song is on my band's recent record ... it's been getting some decent airplay on college radio stations and been featured on some blogs around the country including Pop Candy at USAToday.com. Thought you all might want to take a listen ...

I am teaching a college-level class I designed called "Punk 101: The Culture and Future of 'No Future!'" this spring. I'm posting the weekly topics below for you all to look at. Since the class is mostly focussed on films and music, I am looking for any kind of films/videos that might document or take midwest punk as their subject.
