Punks For Tolerance

Earlier this year, I had joined a punk rock social site and through reading some posts by different users, I have gotten to know a few of them a little and really enjoy learning cool stuff about them. One of these people is a girl named Kelly Griggs. Kelly is a 15 year old punk … Continue reading »

Riverview Cemetery, Cleveland, OH

I always saw the caretaker’s house, or cemetery office, of Riverview as I was driving by.  In the spring on my way to work the light hits the hill at just the right time and makes the dew and the fog glow.  It’s not a huge cemetery, and nothing like Lakeview (but then, nothing really … Continue reading »

Cleveland is one of the worst cities in America? I don’t think so

I have lived here in the Cleveland area my entire life. I have spent most of my life in a couple of the worst neighborhoods and had to deal with gunfire erupting less than 30 feet from where my niece, nephew and their friends were hanging out. I’ve also lived in a few of Cleveland’s … Continue reading »

Epic Steel: Pork Graffiti

If you live in Cleveland and pay attention at all you’ve probably seen random pork tags on bridges or buildings or maybe caught a glimpse of his pig face (which I also used to think looked like a hippo).  You may not have realized that he’s an incredible artist.

Nothing says I love you like….

Happy Heart Day!  Here in the Green house (I don’t get tired of saying that) we don’t particularly celebrate Valentine’s Day.  We are so horribly mushy and in love all the other days of the year that we don’t really find it necessary.  Regardless, with all the love (and corresponding anti-valentine’s day angst) we couldn’t … Continue reading »

What can you get on a $400 grocery budget?

If you’re smart about it – a hell of a lot! We just got back from grocery shopping and in only two different stops wound up spending about $400.  Shock to the wallet?  Yeah, a little bit!  After about an hour of meat processing and reflection (come on – we get a little excited about … Continue reading »

Mama’s Psycho Week Day 4: The Creepshow

Yep – I’m still on top and stretching my psychobilly wings.  Well, I’m sure this really isn’t a strech to anyone who has been in the scene.  For me, though, I’m still struggling to filter out the good stuff.  Here’s my latest find:  The Creepshow. Debuting in 2006, they just released a brand new album … Continue reading »

Dick Dynamite and the Doppelgangers – Deviant

What we thought was another late find wound up to the contrary.  Dick Dynamite and Doppelgangers are actually riding out the release of a new ep at the end of last year.  This was itself a follow-up to a full-length release the prior year.  And for us, something else to add to the iTunes purchase … Continue reading »
