Okay now that my profile's more or less completed I can use this space to actually introduce myself. I'm Roger, or Microbe, or Germ, or whatever else you'd like to call me. I'm an artist and writer, hoping to break into the world of indie comics, as well as a musician, although none of these things constitute my day job. I hoard music in every available format (except 8-tracks...I don't have a pla... » Continue Reading

I've linked my Neocities in my profile, and there you will find a work in progress. It's going to be a resource site for learning all about the Bell System and 20th-century telephony. Currently, the only "finished" page is the one about phone phreaks, those early hackers who exploited the cutting-edge tech that Bell Labs had come up with to make the phone network more efficient. If any of that sou... » Continue Reading

Nyello! It's been a little while since I've been on here. Thanksgiving break was nice, but a little exhausting. I got sick at the beginning of the break, and didn't see improvements 'til more than halfway through. Had to jump right back into work after that, and haven't gotten much of a chance to do nothing until today. I needed that time too, if I'm being honest, because for a little bit there ... » Continue Reading

WOOOOOOO long time no see, everybody! I'm here to bring not one, but TWO albums this week, to make up for my woeful performance last week. I'm still a bit under the weather, but powering through. Alright, to start things off, I actually had an album picked out for last week, but couldn't bring myself to write a whole post for it. So without further ado: ALBUM OF THE WEEK #1: Joe Jackson - Look Sha... » Continue Reading

Okay okay. I'll be honest I haven't been in the best headspace at all today. But I want to deliver on my promise! This week's album is Buy by the Contortions! If you've heard of No Wave, you've probably heard of Contortions. This band was featured on the No Wave compilation No New York , produced by Brian Eno who'd heard about this music/art/performance movement happening in NYC and wanted to d... » Continue Reading

Last night was my first ever Ginger Root concert! I went in completely blind (on accident, I have to admit. Things just never lined up properly for me to give them a listen) and had no idea what I was in for. Honestly, I'm glad I did it that way, even if I did have to hide from other people near the front the fact that I didn't know a single song. Just out of respect. There's nothing worse than se... » Continue Reading

There is so much music out there and it is all so so very good. Some albums that were considered: 1. R.E.M. - Life's Rich Pageant This one's a showstopper for me. I've been listening to it a lot on my commute, because it's roughly the length of the drive, and you have no idea how stoked I get when "Underneath the Bunker" comes on. I always love a hidden track, and when the hidden track is one of t... » Continue Reading

Alright, this will be a super quick one. There were a LOT of contenders for album of the week, but I think I’m going to settle on Gang of Four’s Solid Gold . I listened to it for the first time this morning, and it’s been keeping me company all day while I cooked and filled out job applications (psst—the National Parks Service just opened their seasonal interpretation ranger positions tonight!). G... » Continue Reading

Okay, on Discord I have an album of the day in my bio, but I ALWAYS forget to update it. It's been Mono Puff's Unsupervised for at LEAST a week now. So I thought if I wrote about the albums here, I might remember to pick an album every week. This week, we're listening to Mustard Plug's Big Daddy Multitude , a masterclass in 3rd-wave ska. It's fun, dance-able, and the lead singer has a great, un... » Continue Reading

Today was the day. After an extremely sweet pep-talk from my boss, I taught my first group of students without any help! It was a small and well-behaved enough group that it was kind of a no-brainer, to be honest. Had some kids who were really engaged and wanted to answer every question, and some more shy ones that I tried to include when I could. There are definitely some things I need to brush u... » Continue Reading

Baxter Patton (she/they, 25) is a record store clerk who also manages local bands in her free time. They’re not very nice. I want to do a sort of askbox type thing with them, so if you want to ask her anything (or say anything to them, too!) Feel free to ask here or sh » Continue Reading

Just finished Gennifer Choldenko‘s Al Capone Does My Shirts, a children’s novel I always wanted to try as a kid but never got around to reading. Honestly, it was terrific. Snappy writing with a strong voice, and refreshingly complex and intense conflicts. » Continue Reading
