In no particular order...like my record collection:

Beerland The world famous lil' ol' punk rock dive that I call home.

Voodoo Rhythm Beat Man's label! Thanks for puttin out my rekkid! There are also lots of other unique, high-quality, and bat-shit crazy artists who are worth checking out on this label. Buy Voodoo Rhythm!

Deep Blues Festival The best concentration of modern blues talent around. You gotta make it out next year. Fest organizer Chris Johnson is a king among men!

Rio Rita Randall and Donya (owners of Beerland) 's bar/coffee house/laid back hangout. Come down for the record player party on Monday nights and make fun of Dave's 45's.

Joe Bageant The author of the highly-recommended "Deer Hunting With Jesus" writes a blog worth readin'.

Counterpunch.org They say it's America's best political newsletter. They may be right.

Bushman Harmonicas Schooley plays the Delta Frost model, 'cuz it's got the nastiest, most bad-ass sound of any harp you're gonna find! Says me.

Ace Records Why buy anything new, anyway? (Well, 'cept for my record, of course...) An excellent re-issue label of early American roots music. I covet the entire catalog.

Norton Records Thank you, Billy and Miriam, for giving me the occasional reason to get out of bed...Another excellent re-ish label, with the occasional new artist thrown in who is also worth your attention. Also famous as the label that brought Hasil Adkins to the world's attention.

Bear Family Records A German label doing museum-quality reissues of classic American music that Americans are too ignorant to know about. Or that American record companies are too greedy and short-sighted to care about. Why do Americans let another country do the best job of documenting their own uniquely American culture? Anyway, support Bear Family with your hearts, minds, and dollars.

Goner Records Label, record store, societal outcast message board host

Hook or Crook Golden Boys, Haunted George, and me. A label to watch!

Fat Possum Records R.L., T-Model, Hazil, an' all my peeps be chillin'.

Dropkick Records Rich Stanley keeps the rock alive down under

Rave Up Records Penetrators re-issuers and punk rock documentarians

Chicken Ranch Records - Austin's own, home of the Woggles, 45's, Austomusik, and more!

Hillgrass Bluebilly Entertainment The only reason to play in Phoenix AZ! And hey, now Keith has moved to Austin.

The Boom Chica Boom Go-Go Girls have ruined me for other women.

Tyler Keith and the Preacher's Kids Former Neckbone and rocker supreme.

The Crack Pipes Austin's rock heroes. Baron Von Rock provides commentary.

The Lamps Monty Buckles let the Hard Feelings sleep on his floor awhile back. Now he has a band. They rock!

Horizontal Action One of the few magazines that would openly admit to liking my music! Bringing you the best in rock n' roll, porn, and Penny without her top. Come back, Horizontal Action, come baaaaaack!

Biff! Bang! Pow! When not punching two Confederacy of Scum members with alternating fists, Max Dropout finds the time to write down his feelings about rainbows and kittens on this touching and deeply personal web page.

Tim Kerr Austin punk godfather, artist, and all 'round good guy!

DM Bob American ex-pat and my label mate twice over - Crypt and Voodoo Rhythm. Check out his "Bo Diddley is a skeet shooter" game, cool paintings, and of course some fine trashy swamp rock n' roll.

Spike Penetrator "King of Basement Rock" and Fred Records head honcho.

The Sailors With Victor in France, I'm the 5th Sailor. I'm comfortable enough in my heterosexuality to be able to pull it off.

Man's Ruin Burlesque My Australian girlfriends.

The Guilty Hearts Pity them, for they spent 1 month in a van with Schooley while on tour in Europe. They also rock.

South Austin Music Austin's best guitar and music shop. Period. Friendly staff, awesome selection, great prices, cool guitars.

Joe Coleman Art, or so I call it.

WFMU Keeping the corpse of real radio twitching in the Clear-Channel graveyard.

Gigposters.com Where poster nerds go to talk about posters with other poster nerds.

Victim of Time Gigs in your town, articles about rock. Eventually, they want to be the US of A's answer to Grunnen Rocks. Will they get there? Only time will tell. In the meantime, enjoy.

Bob Lefsetz What? An old fart record industry dude who actually likes music? And not afraid to tell it like it is. Check it out!

Rick Saunders I don't trust music blogs in general, and this guy openly admits to liking my shit, so you REALLY know you can't trust his opinion...good info about modern raw blues-based musics and rock n' roll.

ONE MAN BANDS

I view them as colleagues, not competition. You can't compete with Schooley, baby. Don't even try!
