The concept of Cult and Culture began as a short segment created by Justin Pearson, an internationally known musician, record label owner (Three One G Records), author, and actor.

Sometimes final statements hint at great things to come and in the absence of the one (or ones or of the collective entity) who made that statement, their legend and import grows like a strange alien plant in the moonlight. Such is the case with Heaven’s Pregnant Teens, the last studio recording by Some Girls MORE…

I think of the wet streets at night in Normal Heights and the fog up from the canyons. The smell of American Spirits in Tyler’s car when you first opened the passenger door and the chill at dawn when you hadn’t slept.

Need a dental-based band to put on an awkwardly amazing/amazingly awkward performance at your teenage birthday party? Three One G’s Holy Molar might be one plausible option (watch the “Dentist the Menace” DVD, if you haven’t yet, for this scenario to make only slightly more sense). Formed in San Diego in 2001, the band consisted MORE…

Note: this is the text from a tape I did on Three One G, a collaboration between myself (words) and Demetrius Francisco Antuña (music). It doesn’t make a lot of sense if you just read the text without the audio recording, so throw in the tape (or go to the streaming service of your choice), MORE…

This is an FAQ for my fiction column Locust House Variations. I get a lot of questions about the storyline, how the writing here connects to the book Locust House, and what’s what and who’s who in my fictional universe.
