I’m writing this right after getting home from the second show on Pete Von Petrin’s West Coast Spring Tour, where I joined him for a special fognozzle reunion.

Apparently you’re dead, Don. It’s been a long time. I miss seeing you around the old neighborhood. God, we used to talk and talk. You always had something going on. Usually bizarre, often sad, or at least bittersweet. Always something interesting. We all used to talk about Dori. Leslie, Adam, Kristine, you. The crew. It’s [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | October 29th, 2010 | Leave a comment

She has health insurance, but it does not cover such necessities as supplements, healthy food, transportation to her many appointments, complementary care to reduce the side effects of chemo, or herbs to help fight [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | November 10th, 2009 | Leave a comment

fognozzle and Erling Wold Mark Alburger conducting the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra We, that is, fognozzle and Erling Wold, present for you a tale of fear, horror, xenophobia, political posturing and denial, all contained within a musical program piece of sorts, a savage delight for the senses and an allegory for today, this and that and [...] [...]

Last week I attended the amazing 2009 SanFran MusicTech Summit hosted by the awesome Brian and Shoshana Zisk. Saw several great panels and got to meet many others in this strange world of the music business, including several who I had some pretty unlikely connections to. An interesting announcement I completely missed out on at the [...] [...] 
CALMS, AKA Mike Keegan and Nick Carpenter (formerly Lincoln Money Shot, currently also 1/2 of nickname: Rebel) were interviewed on the latest edition of Ned Hardcore’s delightfully entertaining podcast Morning Becomes Epileptic produced by Your PR. Very little is known beyond that. It does explain the long rambling discussion of everyone’s personal history with Borders [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | May 4th, 2009 | Leave a comment

Andrew Gerhan is front and center in Time Out New York’s ‘I, New York’ feature in this week’s issue.

Ed Hardy tattoo decals in a vending machine at a Toys ‘R’ Us. 50 cents each. I bought two. What is the world coming to? OK, maybe it never passed out. If you remember the days when tattooing was still a relatively underground thing (and illegal in NYC) then this still seems weird. Check out [...] [...] It was long past time I found a new place to buy books when in San Francisco… My local crappy shop in Brooklyn closed up a couple years ago and I finally sucked it up to ride the F out to visit Alex at his excellent Rocketship, and now I’ve found a similar friend at my [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | November 25th, 2007 | 2 comments
