He was probably my favorite guitarist next to Dave Davies & my brother Mickey.

He also put out my favorite album of 2009, possibly one of my favorites of the entire decade.

I co-hosted a radio show with my friend Beth on WCSB 89.3 in Cleveland on January 1st, 2010. We did a retrospective of Rowland’s work. You can listen to it on the web through this podcast:

Rowland S. Howard Retrospective on WCSB, Cleveland

Plus, I’ve written a eulogy to RSH here:

Happy New Year!

Hopefully 2009 won’t be as ugly as 2008. At least some improvements in regards to who’s in charge in the US.

I’ve been busy. Really busy! Between my regular job, photographing concerts, moving, the death of my grandmother (and travelling to the funeral), adopting a dog, cutting my hair, writing articles and conducting interviews, and finally re-subscribing to cable TV after a 3 year hiatus… I’ve had little time to breathe.

One tidbit of good news I’d like to expand briefly on is the fact that I will be having some of my live photos of the Dirtbombs published in Skyscraper Magazine (in the next issue). Not sure what photos are going in, but I’m pretty happy about it.

During the month of May, I shot some photos at some shows, and here’s some of those photos:

Tod A of Firewater

Exene Cervenka of X

Rachel Nagy of The Detroit Cobras

Here’s an interview I did with Trztn of Services at Popshifter.

This is another article I wrote for this edition of Popshifter.

Here’s a photo of my new dog named Buster.

My cat (aptly named ‘Kitler’) does not approve:

A fantastic example of what I’ve been enjoying on VH1-Classic (since I got cable again):

“Wild Child” by W.A.S.P.

And I’d like to end this with a photo of my grandma. I miss her.

I went to Prague. It was wonderful. Take a peak at my trip.

I also started writing for Popshifter.

I contributed the following interview with JG Thirlwell.

I am in the process of moving into my townhouse.

I plan on doing more contributions to Popshifter in the future, namely an interview with Trztn of Services. I am currently compiling a line of questioning for that.

Busy as hell at Fort Dearborn, and I have 1 more show to film for The Cleveland Museum of Art in May.
