the name, or the man, john p. strohm may not necessarily ring a bell, but the man, in my world, is legendary. he started off playing drums in punk bands in his hometown of bloomington, in - a town i still want to get to one day, then after moving to boston he played guitar in the much beloved blake babies w/ juliana hatfield. the first time i heard their 89 release earwig was in high school, and while i was still into really horrible metal at the time, i would put it up there dinosaur jr's [...]
We here at Idolator get all of our legal knowledge from the creative products of Dick Wolf, so it's probably best for us to call in for outside help on thornier issues regarding the law. Which is why we're proud to welcome the new Idolawyer: Please say hello to John P. Strohm , who practices at Johnston, Barton, Proctor, and Rose in Birmingham, Ala. In addition to representing both bands and indie labels, Strohm played with Blake Babies, The Lemonheads, and Antenna; now, he plays music under his own name . Strohm's musings shouldn't be taken as straight-up [...]

Once again please excuse the lack of updates but I'm in the process of moving (again). I've moved more times in my "adult" life than I'd like to remember and this is probably the most difficult of them all. It's my second cross country jaunt (I'm moving back east, hello New York), but this time I have to do it all myself. I'm stressed beyond all belief and probably won't relax (I'm tense person to begin with) until all my things have arrived safely, including myself. Unfortunately I can't find any covers about packing but since I am [...]

My Daughter is currently preparing for her Photography exam and last weekend we spent some time taking photographs of 'people & places' for her to use. You cannot believe how hard it is to find 'artistic' shots on a wet and dreary Sunday. And the looks you get when you start taking pictures of people in public [...]

The Rosebuds told us to be on the lookout for this album, but we forgot all about it. I just happened to be visiting The Pixies MySpace when I saw the blog post about it's release. Dig A Fire , out on American Laundromat Records , combines two things I was excited about right off the bat, MOKB's good friend John P. Strohm and a new cover of [...]
C'était encore une autre chronique Branche ton iPod à Change de disque hier sur les ondes de CKRL ! Et j'étais en mode activisme, puissance dix! Pour ceux qui l'aurait raté, j'ai profité de ma chronique pour jaser de neutralité du réseau , le principe que tous les fournisseurs d'accès internet doivent donner accès à tout le contenu et les applications en ligne également, sans traitement préférenciel, dégradation de service ou accès privilégié, peu importe la source, propriété ou destination du contenu. C'est un débat qui doit se faire de plus en plus public [...]

Not terrible, but not very interesting either... the ex-Blake Baby and former Lemonheads drummer remains mired in the softer swamps of country pop.

The inspiration for today's post comes from one of those lame "use your shuffle play to create a soundtrack for your life" memes. So, I took the first 18 covers to hit my shuffle play and plugged them in as appropriately as I could. Or something. I quite frequently use my shuffle play to decide my posts, so it's not really that exciting. Enjoy!
