Extree! Extree! Read all about it!

I’m writing a music column (er, well, not exactly a column, but writing a bunch of music pieces) for my community newspaper.  Luckily, my community is in Brooklyn and there’s plenty of cool music coursing through.

Now, the paper itself has a decidedly old-school ethos, which basically translates to “there is no website.”  But I had fun writing the pieces, so I wanted to share them with you, so I jury rigged a little online gallery (I guess that’s what it is) of the scans I made of the pages where my writing appears.  To read it, I suggest right-clicking/control+clicking on the images on the page, then choose “view image” and that will open another tab where the pictures are big enough to be read.  Yeah, it’s not nytimes.com, okay?  If it’s all just too much of a pain in the ass to view/read (which is a very real possibility), just take comfort in the fact that it happened, and if you’re walking the streets of Red Hook, be sure to pick up a copy at finer bodegas and booze-houses through the greater Van Brunt area.

And, just a note, I did not name the column.

And props to Devo for her uncredited photo of the band on the front page of the paper, above the fold (just another talent to add to the list).
