My advice column for Two One Five Magazine
I wrote this for the early duration of 2008. But as life beckoned (i.e. touring and shit), I was unable to write this on a weekly basis. It was called 'Ask Rats' and you can still read it here!
Like I said in Feb of 2008 in regards to this column "Let me help you help me get paid... by helping you of course."
Thank you and god bless you.

My interview on Dazed Digital
In November, I had an art exhibition in London at Dazed and Confused Magazine's Dazed Gallery.
Here's an interview I did shortly before the opening reception. Dazed Digital Interview
I'm pretty nervous and I'm mumbling. Good interview, Musson!

The new home of Black Like Me: Free News Projects Blog.
Current mood:  hungover
Recently, I've run into many folks who ask me about my column, Black Like Me, that used to appear in the Philadelphia Weekly. "Where the fuck is Black Like Me?" they say, or "How come you don't write for the Philly Weekly anymore?" and my personal favorite "Your column was the only reason I picked up that paper." I'm really flattered by the love from all you readers, I really never thought BLM had that many fans, but you all seem to be out there. I've been surprised to find readers of BLM in almost every city i've been to while traveling with Plastic Little.
The reason for the disappearance of Black Like Me is that the Philadelphia Weekly, like many US newspapers, has been diminishing in volume over the past year. The reason most likely being that less and less folks are getting their news from periodicals. And sadly, the Weekly shares in this fate. Numerous features have been cut from the paper while the editorial staff has had to adjust under the duress of the newer and much thinner landscape of the paper. Black Like Me was never axed from the Weekly, it was just put on hiatus while my editor worked to figure things out.
But you know, not having the column appear for about 8 weeks really bummed me out, so I've recently decided to continue the column on the internet at the Free News Projects Blog. Fuck a bunch of hiatus.
What does having the column on the internet mean? It pretty much means longer rants and more grammar and spelling missteaks son! So, y'know, I hope you continue reading Black Like Me on the Free News Projects Blog. A new column will be published either once a week or once every two weeks, alternating with artist and musician 'interviews' that I'll be doing for the blog as well.
The Free News blog will also have Derek Ihnat as a contributor. Derek has been a regular contributor to Fecal Face and Juxtapose.com as well as curated some pretty awesome exhibitions here in Philadelphia with his Art Syndicate outfit. I'm psyched to have him on board on this fledgling glob, i mean blog. And as time passes we'll add more contributors.
Also! I'll be putting out a book of all the Philadelphia Weekly Black Like Me columns from 2007 sometime in the spring or summer of 2008. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the support, dawgs.
Take Care.
