Eric Slick: Broadcasting from Strange America

Robert Burke Warren, Showfolk

Bass player, writer, stacker of wood, teacher, performer, author of novel Perfectly Broken and one-man show Redheaded Friend.

It doesn't matter what Robert decides to write about, I am always drawn right in. A literate and lovely storyteller, with endless cool stories about music and the things that matter.

Music and life as a listener in the 1990s

Aaron has such a cool way of digging deep into archives, his own and others, and showing us what it was like from the inside. A beautiful writer and a total music obsessive. My kind of people.

A Hot Mess

By Holiday Sidewinder

Memoirs, Music & Chaos in the somewhat colorful life of artist Holiday Sidewinder, the antiheroine of her own story.

Undoubtedly my favourite writer, and not because I'm biased. Eve Babitz meets Bob Dylan. So good.
