I set out to write a story simply about how Lead Belly's magnetic musical talent got him out of a hellish, Jim Crow-era Texas prison. I learned a lot about the man – and how he was cheated, stereotyped, and misrepresented – along the way. My latest for GW guitarworld.com/features/how…
Working for the longest-running and most prestigious guitar magazine in the world has been an incredible honor. 57 years is one hell of a run guitarplayer.com/news/guitar…
“What did you say this song was called?”
“‘Cut Your Hair’”
“But Stephen, we’ve never heard this song before!”
(Dramatic turn) “you boys just follow me”
K*mala Harris asking me for money every time I click on “3 Hours of Backrooms Dark Ambient” or “Kentucky Route Zero Ambience”

My professional career has peaked – I got to incorporate The Last Dance into my job. This is how an unsung guitar hero made the the Alan Parsons Project's Sirius (the Chicago Bulls' walk-on theme) so special guitarworld.com/features/ala…
All jokes and jabs at Pitchfork’s expense aside, I’m not really exaggerating when I say that they are THE place that inspired me to do what I do now. Even as someone who’s worked in corporate music media for seven years, I’m at a total loss for words
Diving deep into Bob Dylan’s discography is so frustrating because there’ll be an album that’s, like, good, and then you hear a random studio outtake of a song that didn’t make the album. It’ll be, like, “Carny’s Bet (Take 43)” and it’ll be the greatest song you’ve ever heard
I’m sadly shut in with COVID this New Year’s Eve, but that did give me the time to close out 2023 by finishing this, one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. In every sense – sound design, plot, attention to detail, memorable characters and those visuals (!!!) – a masterpiece
Super happy to share that the @futureusunion – of which I am a proud member – has ratified its second contract! We got protection from layoffs due to AI, increased minimum salaries, at least 2 weeks notice or 2 weeks of extra severance pay for layoffs... wgaeast.org/wga-east-members…
all these years and I still think, whenever I use the “>” symbol, “Allie the Alligator eats the bigger number”

I don’t know the cause of this specific event, but the construction at Lorimer has made my daily commutes so horribly unsafe. parts of the platform that are necessary to access are so narrow that an average adult can barely pass through— I’ve been nearly swiped by the train
In 1954, Pat Hare released a wild, distorted, proto-hard-rock missive titled I’m Gonna Murder My Baby. Nine years later, he did just that. That macabre story, however, obscures how radically ahead of its time his playing was. My latest guitarworld.com/features/pat…
