Michael Stock is a Part Time Professor and a Part Time Punk—which means he is the DJ (and promoter & band booker & poster/flier-maker) at two weekly clubs in Los Angeles: PART TIME PUNKS every Sunday at The Echo & PUNKY REGGAE PARTY every Friday at La Cita. He also has a weekly radio show on KXLU (88.9FM in Los Angeles/www.kxlu.com everywhere else) every Thursday from 3-6pm PST. Michael spins strictly vinyl and mostly the sounds of punk, post-punk, minimal synth, industrial & DIY circa 1978-84 (though he’s also a great lover of Indiepop, Twee and Shoegaze sounds). For awhile, he was also writing a monthly column on vinyl records called “The Bins” for Flaunt Magazine, which was something like a cross between Lester Bangs and Theodor Adorno. But now, he’s at work on his second novel, tentatively titled All’s Well That Ends (while searching for a home for his first, Butcher’s Block). Along the way, he has taught a number of courses on Punk, The History Of Comic Books and even things like Writing, Film Aesthetics and Drama at places like UCLA, UC-Irvine, Loyola Marymount and, most recently, CalArts.
