In GSpot, Podcast, books on October 30, 2009 at 8:13 am

The GSpot: Kristopher Young- Another Sky
Joseph Matheny in conversation with Kristopher Young of Another  Sky talking about the exciting new model of “pay what you can” for works of fine modern  literature.  Also another In Your Ear, reviewing Sundown Lounge, the podzine.

No homegrown music this week, just some more blatantly ripped off semi-commercial stuff.

Kristopher Young was born in 1974 with roots in Philadelphia and New York City. He moved to Portland, Oregon in 2004 to focus on his writing.

His background is diverse; he’s vegan, is trained in branding and scarification, put himself through school designing databases and has a Master’s Degree in Media Ecology (the impact of mass communication on society) from New York University.

Kristopher founded Another Sky Press in 2005 and continues to play a significant role as chief editor. Click was his debut novel.

t. Winter Damon:RIP

In Announcements, GSpot, Links, Podcast, books on August 18, 2009 at 9:48 pm

Wow. Wrote to t. Winter Damon to see if he was close to publishing the new work he had told me about…how long ago? Wow, like a year. It’s been a busy year for sure, but I really need to slow down and smell the roses. His work email bounced, so I figured he’d been laid off, seems to be happening a lot…so I wrote his publisher and asked him to have Tim call me. I was surprised to receive an email back that he had died. This is happening far too much lately. Anyway, here’s an old GPod radio we did several years ago. I’ll miss ya man, we had some great conversations. Show : Part 1 | Part 2 (may 15 2005)

t. Winter-Damon: Author of Duet for the Devil and The Forbidden Gospels of Man Cruel talks about the Zodiac Killer and Hannibal Lecter as a food critic.

GSpot- Falcon, Falcon, Burning Bright?

Joseph Matheny talks to Nick Thacher and Linda Miller about Falcon Press and why there appears to be two Falcon’s selling virtually the same catalogs since the death of Dr. Hyatt.

Also in this episode:A new In Your Ear with Psuke, and a special bonus track at the end: James Curcio presents the first installment of the Join My Cult audiobook, and releases Join My Cult as a Creative Commons PDF that you may download at Original Falcon. Also, as a side note, we were contacted after this show was recorded by an organization calling itself the New EII. Keep an eye open for an interview with them in the future.

New book I’m in

In Announcements, books on December 14, 2008 at 7:24 pm

My friend Michael Dean co-wrote a book with Alan Lastufka, titled: YouTube: An Insider’s Guide to Climbing the Charts. For some odd reason, they seemed to think my insane rambling has context and enough coherence to include as several pages in said book. Even though that is the case, I still recommend picking it up if you’re at all interested in indie/digital/on-line video/film. (Enough slashes?) Go now. Buy.
