Bloomington, IN, according to the official State song, ‘(Back Home Again In) Indiana,’ smells like “New mown hay.” I am presently attending Indiana University and studying Folklore and Ethnomusicology, with a particular interest in American vernacular music, public history, intangible cultural heritage as well as audio recording and preservation. I am working at the Archives of Traditional Music and riding my Peugeot bicycle whenever I can. I also went tubing with my friends Idan and Julio the day after I moved in. Some guy actually rented us a speed boat for less than $100. Crazy! I now support the Indianapolis Indians (Triple A ballclub for the Pittsburgh Pirates), though I still root for the Pawtucket Red Sox when they come through town. I am into all kinds of music (with a special nod towards anything on the Starday label) and my favorite stuffed animal is my dog Moseley, a black and white cow-patterned beagle/pointer mix with a broken tail shaped like a pirate hook who is stuffed with real-life dog innards because he is real-life.
