388 - Marshall Chapman Marshall Chapman is one of the absolute greatest American songwriters and a one of a kind vocalist. I had pursued an interview with her for years, and finally an interview took place in Decatur, Georgia at Eddie's Attic. Her album Big Lonesome was one of the greatest albums released in 2011 and was a memorial to the great songwriter Tim Krekel. She had also released a book entitled "They Came to Nashville." Chapman has released acclaimed studio and live albums and has written songs recorded by everyone from Irma Thomas, Jimmy Buffett, John Hiatt, Tanya Tucker, Ronnie Milsap and others.

Tonight we listened to Morphine's really cool 1993 album "Cure for Pain", an album recorded and written mere miles from where we recorded this episode. Exciting! On a less wholesome level, we discuss Tom Hanks again, Dr. Pepper, the annual tradition of at least one person crashing a U-Haul into an underpass on Storrow Drive, Parents who yell at other peoples' kids, the Nutcracker, and McDonald's at 250 Maple Street in Marlborough.

My Damage: The Story of a Punk Rock Survivor (Da Capo Press) Keith Morris is a true punk icon. No one else embodies the sound of Southern Californian hardcore. Short and sporting waist–length dreadlocks, Morris is known the world over for his take–no–prisoners approach on the stage and his integrity off of it. Over the course of his forty–year career, he’s battled diabetes, drug and alcohol addiction, and the record industry. My Damage is more than a book about the highs and lows of a punk rock legend, however. It’s also a look at rock ’n’ roll through the lens of someone who has shared the stage with just about every major figure in the music industry and appeared in cult films like The Decline of Western Civilization and Repo Man. It’s a Hollywood story from a native’s perspective. My Damage is Morris’s streets, his scene, his music—as only he can tell it. Keith Morris is an icon of American hardcore music. He is a co-founding member of Black Flag, the most recognizable name in West Coast punk rock, and the Circle Jerks, which cemented his reputation at the forefront of hardcore vocalists. He has recorded over fifteen albums, appeared on countless albums and compilations, and has a half-dozen film credits to his name. The intensity of the music produced by his latest bands OFF! and FLAG are equal to his best work from the 70s, 80s, and 90s and add to a legendary career that is still being carved out one gig at a time. A native of California, he has lived in Los Feliz for over twenty years.  photo by Geoff Moore Jim Ruland caught the punk rock virus when his mom took him to see the Ramones when he was 15. He has been writing for punk rock zines like "Flipside" since the early 90s and has written for every issue of "Razorcake," America s only non-profit independent music fanzine. He is the author of the award-winning novel "Forest of Fortune" and the short story collection "Big Lonesome." He is the curator of the Southern California-based irreverent reading series Vermin on the Mount. He lives in San Diego.

Karen Stefano, author of The Secret Games of Words, in conversation with Jim Ruland, author of Big Lonesome and Forest of Fortune, as well as founder of Vermin on the Mount, a literary event series that takes place at various places around the country.

Colin Marshall talks with Jim Ruland, founder of the Southern California-based reading series Vermin on the Mount and a columnist at Razorcake and San Diego CityBeat. He is the author of the short story collection Big Lonesome and the new novel Forest of Fortune, the story of three haunted souls — an alcoholic, an epileptic, and a gambling addict — who try to turn their luck around at a decrepit Indian casino.

Forest of Fortune (Tyrus Books) Skylight Books is very excited to welcome Vermin on the Mount's very own, Jim Ruland! Something's not right at Thunderclap Casino… While working the floor at the casino on the ultra-rural Yukemaya Indian Reservation, Alice is visited by a mysterious woman. Alice wants to believe her new epilepsy meds are causing her to hallucinate, but the apparition keeps coming back with terrifying information about the reservation's secret history. Pemberton, a hard-partying copywriter from L.A. who was kicked out of his apartment by his fiancé, is having a difficult time adjusting to life on the rez. His new boss at the casino has severe anger-management issues, his drinking is getting out of control, and he's attracted the attention of a drug-addled biker. Lupita is no stranger to casinos, but she's never seen anything like this: a slot machine that compels people to keep playing until they've lost everything. Lupita's been on been on bad runs before, but this machine is different. This one is evil. As the three of them come to terms with the ways in which they are haunted by the past and struggle to turn their luck around, they must confront the malevolent force at Thunderclap that won't rest until old wrongs have been made right. Praise for Forest of Fortune “Forest of Fortune captures the soul and voice of hard-luck, hard-living Americans in a way that conjures up earlier masters like Raymond Carver and Richard Ford. Jim Ruland has an uncanny ability to get inside his characters – the small-time gamblers, washed up ad-men, and ladies of a certain age with a taste for one-armed bandits who people the casino at the center of the novel, the aptly named ‘Thunderclap.' It's been a long time since I've read an author with this much heart and talent. I really loved this book.”–Jerry Stahl, author of Happy Mutant Baby Pills andPermanent Midnight “A little spooky, very funny, and thoroughly engrossing from start to finish. Ruland writes with real aplomb and takes no prisoners.”—Fiona Maazel, author of Woke Up Lonely “Jim Ruland's debut novel Forest of Fortune celebrates casino luck, mostly bad. A tour de force about a casino's back rooms and environs, Forest of Fortune delivers on the seductive hardboiled territory of dread and despair. I'd bet plenty that you'll like this.”—Terese Svoboda, author of Bohemian Girl “Beguiling, nimble, and wonderfully weird, The Forest of Fortune is an out-of-left-field gem.”—Patrick deWitt, author of The Sisters Brothers “American culture is now casino culture, as anyone with a mortgage or student loan or 401(k) knows all too well. Jim Ruland's terrific novel gets to the heart of the matter, his characters struggling mightily to keep their heads above water, to find something better, something more, in all the wrong places. Smart, honest, darkly funny, Forest of Fortune is a powerful debut from a writer of real talent.”—Scott O'Connor, author of The Untouchable and Half World Jim Ruland is a Navy veteran, former Indian casino employee, and author of the short story collection Big Lonesome. He is the host of Vermin on the Mount, an irreverent reading series based in Southern California. He is a columnist for the indie music zine Razorcake and writes "The Floating Library," a books column, for San Diego CityBeat. His work has been published in The Believer, Esquire, Hobart, Granta, Los Angeles Times, McSweeney's, Oxford American and elsewhere. Ruland's awards include a fellowship from the NEA and he was the winner of the 2012 Reader's Digest Life Story Contest. In April 2014, Lyons Press will publish Giving the Finger, co-written with Scott Campbell, Jr. of Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch. He lives in San Diego with his wife, visual artist Nuvia Crisol Guerra.
