About

Photo by Nick Thomsen.

I marshal the middle between Mathers and McLuhan. I’m an aging BMX and skateboarding zine kid. That’s where I learned to turn events and interviews into pages with staples. I have since written about music, media, and culture for everything from books and blogs to national magazines and academic journals. My books include Dead Precedents (Repeater Books), Boogie Down Predictions (Strange Attractor Press), and the forthcoming The Medium Picture (UGA Press), and The Grand Allusion (Repeater Books), among others. I hold a Ph.D. in Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and currently teach in the School of Communication at the University of North Florida.
