August, 2006 Oh, snap! It's been four years for exoduster.com. Yeah! We are starting our second year in St. Louis and are still going strong. The volume of material we are getting is crazy, but we'll do our best. Seriously, one of these days we'll have Matt do a massive design update. But that will be when I have time, money, and less real work to do. Translation: not soon. We still are doing monthly music updates, but other pages, like the news section, are getting updated every week so check back often. Brian August, 2004 I thought I should write something since it's been two years. Exoduster.com has now been officially rocking for two years and it has been fun - though a lot of work. Since our first artist of the month the All-American Rejects in August 2002 to our latest Letter Kills we've heard, seen and interviewed some amazing artists. At some point in the future, hopefully sooner than later, we are going to have Matt do up a whole new website to make everything look fancy. But we should give him some money to do it and not just bum it off him. The only problem is that we don't have any money. When such a time comes then it will be done. Another plan is to make Exoduster at least a weekly updated reviews site instead of a monthly. But that is only likely to come if I don't get a real job or we get more people do stuff around here. For now, count on massive record reviews update on the first of every month. Oh, to dispel many of the questions we get that picture up there really isn't me. Thanks, Brian August, 2002 This is the launch of our new site www.exoduster.com. After spending the past two years as assistant editor and music editor of www.fungamemassive.com, I decided to forge a new online zine. This decision was due to differing models of the future of the fungamemassive site. The current editor of fungamemassive envisions a new mission for the existence of the fungamemassive site. I envision something different. Exoduster.com will bring its' readers the best in music news and reviews of records, live shows and film. Hence, the site maintains a deeper commitment to bringing insights of the world of punk, hardcore, indie rock,…, to the world. In addition, the site contains other developing sections that add significant fun to your viewing pleasure, such as the "crazy" section.Many of the quality drawings and pictures currently on the site come from artist Matthew Petz and his website Monster Island Media (http://www.monsterislandmedia.com/). For more visual pleasures, steer yourself to his site. What is an exoduster? Exodusters were freed black slaves from the South who moved to the Plains states in the late 1800s for their own land to farm. After the Civil War, freed slaves could not attain, for various reasons, land to farm in the South. Instead of being tenant farmers and the like in the South, the Plains' open spaces offered opportunity. Dissecting the word, "Exodusters" stands for "exodus" (as in the biblical meaning) and "duster" (as in the Dust Bowl). Please contact me for any reason pertaining to the site.
