Box Office Concerts at the Inwood Theater, Suspended after 17 Years.

The first and only box office concerts, at the Inwood Theater , after 17 years, have been suspended, and most likely cancelled by management.

For a decade and a half, Tom Hendricks, as "Hunkasaurus and His Pet Dog Guitar", played two shows every Tuesday and two on Wednesday, in the box office ticket booth, behind the glass.

In between shows Hendricks would sell tickets. Performances happened through both cold winter days and hot summer nights.

Breaking Music News for Zine Musea

Dear Readers,

Yesterday, Tuesday, I finished recording my 14th and last song for my new cd (10 with vocals, and 4 instrumentals). The last song was my BIG song for the album - big meaning a song that starts out slow and builds to a big ending - God Bless The Child, the song co written by Billie Holiday, with a nice 60's version by Blood Sweat and Tears.
Now on to mix, get the cover ready, etc. etc. Stay tuned!

ON EASY STREET: a disquieting zine. The First Installment

It has been years. Years of thinking, accumulating, mailing, writing, and drafting. But I have finally made some clear decisions about "my writing project," as I've been calling it. I have had a novel and a chapbook published in the traditional way: submission, acceptance, editing, promotion. But I've been wanting to do…

artist trading cards?

Do any of you zine people make artist trading cards? I've never seen or heard of a zine that focuses on artists trading cards. ATCs are the same size as sports cards and that type of thing (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"). You can cut them from food boxes, poster paper, free Priority Mail envelopes from the post office and then you put your art - paintings, sketches, drawings, whatever and then trade them with other people that have done the same. It'd be cool to do a zine that had something to do with them.… Continue

Speculative Ideas on Biology from the last few decades

Dear Musea Reader, here is a short list of some speculative ideas of mine on biology, posted on my blog. They are my own as far as I know. Time will tell which if any will be proven correct. I welcome your comments.

Sayings of Eddie Art

Sayings of Eddie Art (Art S Revolutionary, editor of Musea)
-------------
My new How-To Painting Book: How to paint ghosts, clouds that have dissipated, and thin air.

The first idea is seldom the best.

Value truth over credentials.

It’s like conceptual art – it’s worth nothing.

The Murky Realm

"The Murky Realm," a biographical sketch of a tragic union with some creative engineering...

My parents never should have gotten married. But even though my father was gay and my mother was chemically imbalanced, this was the 60s, when single men in their forties did not identify as queer and people with personality disorders were rarely diagnosed, much less treated. And marriage was inexorable. The tragedy, of course, is that five children came out of this…

Stories (lyrics)

Stopped at a light behind a small truck

It turned green but there they’re stuck

I thought I’d honk, but instead I’d watch and wait

Up ahead the couple in the cab

Trying to save a love gone bad

Trying to save what was lost and will… Continue
