I'm Mike. I run a quietly anti-fascist/anti-capitalist bookmobile in a very red county in the Midwest. Talkin' punk rock/DIY, librarianship, books, records, baseball, heavy metal, guitars/amps, beer/bourbon. Band guy. Indiana but trying.

Annihilate next week! Self-promo always feels kinda awkward and scummy and I hate it, but conversely, I love this band and want people to hear it. Our first show is happening in Indy on Thursday night. I'm fuckin stoked at least.

While I dunno if anyone ever sees or stumbles across my occasional missives here, I've got a ripping new band, first show on 9/3 in Indy and a 7" record out in October (music posting soon). Give a follow to @negativehustle.bsky.social if you're into that kind of thing. #punkrock #rocknroll

Here's a closer look at the design I made for Negative Hustle. I could also make a thing for you.
A prowling, fierce looking panther with tortoise shell markings including a lightning bolt shape on her forehead. She has large, white feathered wings and is holding an electric guitar with her surprisingly prehensile tail. And she has a gold, bejeweled crown on her head. Arcing above and below the panther in big slab serif lettering are the words 'Negative Hustle'Detail of the panther's face, front paws and some wing, all filled with stipple dots

I've got a new band with some friends of mine and our first show is now upcoming. A self-titled 4-song 7" EP is in the hands of the pressing plant and should be ready for our second Indy show on 10/30, but for now: if you live in the Indy area and like rockin, maybe come check Negative Hustle out?

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

FWIW, he was out there for at least 7 songs and he absolutely did justice to the songs he sang lead vocals on, but Magnolia with Will is absolutely incredible on its own too. Such a cathartic, magical, special night.

It must feel amazing to launch a dinger out of Truist Park. Sending a rocket through the front window of a 300-seat Bonefish Grill in the adjacent mall, all the Vineyard Vines dudes in there are so scared at the sound that they instantly jump into their Sorcerer-size SUVs and drive 55 minutes home.

Americans have really got to unlearn the propagandist indoctrination that socialism is bad. It means that everyone has what they need, resources are shared, and we care for the earth & those around us. We've been taught to hate it so capitalists can keep exploiting us and working us to death.

Central State Brewing already made a keg of this radler using their gose (Garden) and Mountain Dew in 2019 for my last band's record release party. [Dropping in a shot of gin put it over the top in a surprisingly delicious way.]

On this day, when Bob Mould returns to his alma mater Macalester College in Saint Paul to deliver a commencement address, we can thank his impulse as a young man in Upstate New York to attend a small liberal arts college halfway across the country for his role in the formation on Hüsker Dü.

Sep 14, 2017 
It was the Fall of 1978. I was attending Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. One block from my dormitory was a tiny store called Cheapo Records. There was a PA system set up near the front door blaring punk rock. I went inside and ended up hanging out with the only person in the shop. His name was Grant Hart.
