downtown.music is the meal replacement bar for the articles I wrote and would have written for Soft Sity, the now-defunct LA-based music zine. Since I started school in September 1998 and subsequently went on leave, I haven't had that much time to work on this hence the overemphasis on May 1998. However, once I get caught up scanning in my photos from these shows, I will get off my ass and write some more.

This thing is basically my jerkoff page. Everyone else has a lame indulgent web page- why can't I?

You can look forward to interviews with Railroad Jerk, Muckafurgason, David Poe, live reviews of Speedball Baby, Tuscadero, White Hassle, Cat Power, Tortoise, Fastball, and many many more. However, as with Natalie's Chest of Lust, you can definitely not look forward to pictures of my cat.
