Second printing & more!
I am pleased to tell you my contribution to Bloomsbury's renowned 33 1/3 series—Ministry's The Land Of Rape And Honey—is back in print! Apparently it was made available again on Feb 11 and is currently on sale from Bloomsbury right here. Thank you to everyone who bought it and supported my endeavor. Hey, now that this thing is back in print, what do you think: Should I get in the car and come to your town to talk about it? It'll be a year old in May, but hey, bands are out on tour for two years to sell the merch surrounding their latest recs. What, you think I'm better than them?
Also: There's a good chance I will be joining Frank Zummo at the School Of Rock in Chicago on May 4. Frank knows I have a long rider which includes two cases of San Pellegrino lemonade, an on-demand chef at an omelette station and $500 worth of gift cards to Reckless Records. Hey, you know me: I'm worth it. RIGHT?
All runt-fronting aside, more stuff is happening that I can't tell you about just yet. I promise it is not boring. And if you need words for something, hit me up at janitor@ptgrw.com

About the LORAH book
My contribution to Bloomsbury’s acclaimed 33-1/3 series, documenting Ministry’s The Land Of Rape And Honey, was released on May 1, 2025. I then launched my promotion of it almost immediately in (where else?) the greater Chicago area, beginning with MCing the Skatenigs shows at Liar’s Club.
From there I made an appearance at the Midwest Music Expo at Millikin University in Decatur, and held court with post-punk legend and bestest pal Martin Atkins at the PPIM Museum. I closed the month at 2025’s Cruel World festival in Pasadena, where I opened Club Doom as first DJ of the day (aka foisting my tastes on unsuspecting attendees).
It's been quite the ride ever since. And I am grateful for the adventure.
