Always a good day when I get to invoke Carl Sandburg, honestly! Nick Macri personifies everything that makes me love the artistic culture of this city and feel proud to be a part of it and this week I gave him the 🏆 Bandcamp Grammy Treatment 🏆.

Born at Fairview General Hospital in the Year of the Reformation of Pere Ubu, when Jane Scott still ruled the Land. Born of the cybertronic union of Planet E and Channel Z, "getting nothing but static" and techno liberation thru space. I try to imbue music journalism with meaning beyond moving units and I am working on a book about the development and enormous influence of punk and art rock in Northeast Ohio. Hard Femme, more than a bit of an iconoclast. she/her/Miss Sir.
