A great deal of my contributions are to entries having to do with music or television. Sometimes I just like to add random facts that I came across. I have fixed my fair share of misspellings and bad links.

Pages created (or expanded from practically nothing)

[edit]

I have created just a handful of pages, including ones for:

  • Bash & Pop, the little-known band formed by Tommy Stinson after the Replacements split up. I remain a big fan. I might be the only one.
  • Freedy Johnston, a terrific singer-songwriter who deserved an entry even if all I wrote was a small clump of sentences and a discography.
  • Three Freedy Johnston albums: Can You Fly, This Perfect World and Never Home. I had far more to say about the last two even though Can You Fly is generally revered by critics as his masterwork.
  • Five Paul Westerberg albums: 14 Songs, Eventually, Suicaine Gratifaction, Stereo and Come Feel Me Tremble. I was reading his page one day when it just struck me as really odd that not one of his albums had a page yet. It's not like he's an obscure artist; he's got a pretty ardent and loyal following.
  • Bob Mould's Modulate album. It's one of my LEAST favorite of his albums, but I wanted the honor of creating a page for one of his albums, and pretty much all of the really good stuff had been taken.
  • Three Superchunk albums: Cup of Sand, Come Pick Me Up and Here's to Shutting Up.
  • The Living End, a Hüsker Dü live album.
  • Nova Mob, a band that former Hüsker Dü drummer Grant Hart led for a while. It has been obliterated, but it's not like I was able to dig up much more than what was included in Hart's entry, so it's no big loss.

I also turned the entry for ex-Replacements drummer Chris Mars from a piddling little stub into an entry where you'd actually learn a few things about the man.
