The Adventures of Young Schumin!
|
This is Ben Schumin's
webpage. He's a student at good ol' JMU. I read about his page in Time Out, way up here
in New York! I find it pretty interesting to see pictures of Madison and read about the adventures of the loveable Schumin. You should too!

Dress-up Jesus
|
This is blasphemous, surely.
But you know what? It's funny.

The best family band since the
Partridge Family and the Brady Bunch. A Rockstar
Dad on drums, Left-handed guitarists, Duo Siren sisters, Smokin' lead from Big Brother, Backup vocals from Mom
holding it all together, and if that weren't enough, folks, let's throw
an accordion into the mix.
My question: When's the sitcom coming
out?

Pop Interstate
|
This is a band of pop
geniuses. Around six or seven
years ago, a certain Dave Pomerantz met a
certain guy named Drew at an open mike at the Little Grill in
Harrisonburg, Virginia. Music
history, folks. The end result is
this band, Pop Interstate. Check
them out. Go see them. Love them. Try to sleep with them. Be their friends. Feed their cats. Or just buy their cd.

Siobhan O'Malley: my old song
writing partner
|
Siobhan O'Malley's site is well
worth the visit. Trace the other half of Vandal In/Vandal
Out. What is that? Well, you have to be an old school
Shelkey/O'Malley music trivia buff to figure that one out.

Elvis...the one with glasses
|
I bought my first tape in 8th grade
because of the top 40 and a catchy little tune co-written by Paul
McCartney. "Veronica", that's right! Ever since I've been
hooked. I even got so hard up, I checked out the King of America album
from the local library on vinyl. Forgive me if sometimes I try to sing
like him. . .

Tom Kildea:
The Original Voice of Chickentown
|
When I first started going to James
Madison, you sensed some sort of secrety
society going on. As there were lots of people passing around these
tapes. April, and Long Gone. Talk of this "House Band". At
least in the crowd I ran in. After reflecting over the years, here are my
thoughts. If you've never been to Harrisonburg, this is what it sounds like.

John Prine
Shrine
|
I used to make fun of my friend
Jeremy for always listening to John Prine. I
don't think I ever really knew who he was. But then Jeremy convinced me
to go to a concert of his. After first hand testimony, I was a convert. I
kneel before the power of the words of the original Mailman. John Prine heals.

Madison James Madison...We are
the Dukes of JMU!
|
If you see me about town, ask me to sing the JMU fight song. You'd think I wouldn't do
it. BUT I WILL. I like to draw a crowd.
