DJ Z-Trip

Here's a review of DJ Z-Trip's Victory Lap: The Obama Mix Pt. 2  I wrote for Culture Bully this weekend. 

Gay Witch Abortion

Here's a review of Gay Witch Abortion's Maverick I wrote for Culture Bully last week.

Claw Like Things

Here's a review of Claw Like Things' Ladders of Opportunity EP I wrote for Culture Bully last week.

Mages

Fashioned

Here's an article I wrote in 2008 about Fashioned, a photography exhibit held at the late Minnesota Center for Photography.

Bike and bus

Here's a story I wrote in 2008 for the Onion's Back-to-School Issue.

Be Girl Be

Here's an article I wrote for ARP! Magzine on Be Girl Be in 2007. It was a little controversial because of an issue I raised with the City Pages.

Surprisingly Specific Gift Guide

*I wrote the articles on Novelty Tape and Unicorns.

Mages @ the Nomad, 1.02.09

Here's some photos I took of Mages, a duo that I'm helping set up a press kit.

The lighting was particularly horrible, and I hate using flash. I thought the result was kind of cool though, since the red and black matched with JP's flannel shirt. 

The band has kind of an earthy aesthetic they'd like to follow, so the warm distorted look of these pictures seem to help to convey that. 

Bob Dylan photography exhibit

Here's a feature I wrote about a photography exhibition at the Icebox on Bob Dylan's earlier years. The article appeared in Rift, while it was still in print the first time around (in the Fall of 2006). 

Squareshooters

Here's a review I wrote on the Squareshooters. The who? Yeah, that's right. I wrote a negative review, and some douchebag from the band had the nerve to Facebook me some nasty email. 

Loser. Hope they're no longer playing music. Keep yer day jobs!

24 Reasons Why

Here's a review I wrote for 24 Reasons Why. I worked with the drummer for awhile, before he quit both gigs. The band has this posted on their Myspace, kind of cool. 

Bent Festival

Here's a feature I wrote on the Bent Festival for Rift, which was another online feature that came out shortly after Rift went out of print.

The Future

Here's a feature I wrote on local band The Future in early 2007. It was supposed to be in the print version, but this was right around the time Rift went out of print. This was one of few online articles that went up before Rift disappeared for a year.

Desdamona

Here's a feature I wrote about Desdamona this past summer. I originally wanted this to come out a year earlier, but Rift went out of print (and offline) for a year. In hindsight, I could have pitched it elsewhere, but I wanted it in print, and nothing was around this time last year. Now, we have Rift and Mill City Scene.

Muja Messiah

Here's a review I did of Thee Adventures of a B-Boy D-Boy.

Doomtree

Here's a review I did of Doomtree's first major release.

Stem Magazine

Stem Magazine was the final product of a magazine production course I took back in J-School. I served as a Senior Editor and contributed articles. 

Here is a link to an article from the magazine, Pedaling Beyond Pollution. Here is a link to the online article I wrote about Critical Mass, Ride ON!

John H. Stevens House Website

I created this website for the John H. Stevens House between June and September of 2006. I think I had been inquiring about working on a newsletter, and was informed the position was filled, but that this was available. 

The site is looking dated and simple, but is much more sophisticated than what the original website looked like (think Internet circa 1996):

John H. Stevens House Website

The John H Stevens House is credited as the first residence of Minneapolis. It is now a historical site, now located in Minnehaha Park.

Blast from the Past: My Old Music Blog

After the student newspaper at my community college fell into poor leadership, I decided (with permission from my instructor) to earn the remainder of the course's credit by contributing to Blogcritics.org, an entertainment blog. 

Each blogger who contributes to the site must possess a blog, which would become linked to Blogcritics every time that blogger contributed. Here is the link to my personal blog:

Snap...Crackle...Pop.....And Slowly Fizzle.....

Restaurant Photography

Here's some photos I took for the Onion. The Barbette photo appeared in the Onion's print version.

Barbette Photo on Decider

I used a different photo for the print edition's story featuring Jax Cafe.

Jax Cafe Photo on Decider

Twin Cities Decider is an event website that complements The Onion's AV Club's print version. Many Decider articles have been published in the print version of the AV Club.
