I marshal the middle between Mathers and McLuhan. I’m an aging BMX and skateboarding zine kid. That’s where I learned to turn events and interviews into pages with staples. I have since written about music, media, and culture for everything from magazines to blogs and journals to books. I hold a Ph.D. in Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. As a child, I solved the Rubik’s Cube competitively.

“When the head gets hacked, it’s the heart that is haunted.”
Roy Christopher, Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future

Roy Christopher, Escape Philosophy: Journeys Beyond the Human Body
