Top 10 Comic Book Series

by Jay Hood December 18, 2014

Superheroes are everywhere these days. Marvel has mapped out all of their superhero movies between now and 2018. DC has done the same for their franchise superheroes. I’m not sure The CW shows anything but superhero shows at this point. With so many caped crusaders flying around both the big and small screens, it is […]

Fat Drunk and Bipolar – Review – “A”

by Tony Shea December 14, 2014

Lynn Bryan Johnson’s Fat Drunk and Bipolar is a memoir that reads like Dennis Johnson’s (no relation) Jesus’s Son if it were written by Billie Letts of Where the Heart Is fame, which is to say that is a brass tacks “recovery” story that manages to achieve a kind of joy through sorrow, elevated by […]

Leatherwood Studios: Topeka’s 1980s Music Underground Resurfaces

by Ben Easher December 11, 2014


Receipt for Lions and Dogs sessions at Leatherwood Topeka, Kansas in the late 1970s was often a difficult place for musicians writing their own songs. Radio stations only played the hits, and nightclubs tended to book cover bands. Even the arena-rock group named after the state had relocated to Atlanta. But a handful of wayward […]

by Tony Shea November 24, 2014

Sometimes the paint would be two inches thick when I was done. This  had less to do with the artistic process […]

Let’s Start A New Dance Craze, Shall We? (25 step by step instructions)
