micah holmquist's infrequently updated thoughts and links

I was born by Lake Michigan Ludington, Michigan in 1977 and in the years since then I have lived in the Michigan towns of Scottville, Hastings, Cadillac, and Ann Arbor.

Currently I reside in Chicago where I am trying to gain a foothold in the world of journalism, hear some great music, and help the primates destroy humanity. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, listening to music, and walking.

comments:  anybody who likes Brotz is cool

My favorite music:

David S. Ware

comments:  All of this saxophonist's stuff is good but I am partial to "Godspelized." It is soulful blast of energy that never fails to give me hope when I get down

Peter Brotzmann

comments:  This German saxophonist has been creating ferrociously beautiful music for over 30 years and shows little signs of toning down. Amongst his recently released recordings, check out Fuck de Boere and Shadows.

Fred Anderson

comments:  Chicago sax legend and the Louis Armstrong of the avant garde! Few make as joyous of a sound!

My favorite movies:

Paint Your Wagon

comments:  Some parts of this Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin musical are really funny and some parts are funny because of how bad they are.

Escape from the Planet of the Apes

comments:  The greatest talking monkey movie ever!

Nashville

comments:  Few movies are as engrossing.

My Name is Joe

comments:  life on the edge

Metropolis

comments:  few movies are as visually stunning or as beautifully polemical

My favorite authors:

Mike Davis

comments:  Read his excellent histories of Los Angeles in "City of Quartz" and "Ecology of Fear."

Joe Sacco

comments:  The greatest comic book journalist ever. Read "Palestine" and "Safe Area."

Peter Noel

comments:  First rate reporter for the Village Voice.
