About me:
Check Out my eBay Store!!!
Lots of rare records, comix, and other things you don't need!!!
http://stores.ebay.com/Murg-Man-Music-and-More
I wrote a column for NONzine, published out of Oklahoma City, called "Tiger Beat From Hell," where I deconstruct Rock'n'Roll.
I have written for a wildly diverse group of publications ranging from High Times and OUTline Magazine (Oklahoma's first metrosexual publication) to Cool & Strange Music! and Native Peoples Magazine. My work also appears on many websites, most notably on TulsaTVMemories.com where I also tend to rant on the group blog at least a couple of times a weeks (just in case you need to know my every thought).
The blog is a collection of my published pieces. New stuff will be posted every week.
BTW, here's en except of a description of me from a German website translated by a Google translation program:
"Mr. Murg writes a range of cultural matters; arts, the music, the literature, and the policy, and clarifies usually the indigenous American artists who work in the experimental avant-garde and fields. Its subjects not-natives of interview often leave the edge of the traditional culture."
That pretty much sums it up.
