Brian M. Clark is a writer, editor and interviewer who recently relocated from Denver, Colorado, to Long Beach, California. A staff member at the nation's most unabashed drinking publication, Modern Drunkard, Brian regularly conducts interviews with inebriates of all stripes, and occasionally assists with both the magazine's proofing and editing. To date, his own most sizeable work as editor is the recently published anthology Standing In Two Circles: The Collected Works of Boyd Rice, for which Brian also penned a lengthy biographical introduction.
Aside from his work in traditional print media, Brian is also involved in the cataloging and promotion of the work of several underground musicians, including Vadge Moore, Ralph Gean and Little Fyodor. He has produced retrospective musical anthologies by all three of these artists and issued them on his own independent recording label, Discriminate Audio (further chronicling their careers by way of both extensive CD liner notes and online biographies). In conjunction with his promotion of these and other fringe musicians via the Discriminate Audio label, Brian also heads Discriminate Media, a not-for-profit web design collective which archives and advances the work of these and other subcultural figures whose efforts would not otherwise receive substantial backing or exposure.
In addition to his sundry undertakings in editing and promoting the work of underground personae, Brian is also engaged in a range of his own creative endeavors. Most notably, he is presently collaborating musically on one-time projects with the groups Nervesandgel and Giddle & Boyd, and is set to embark upon a larger (as yet unnamed) music project with Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio / Heavens. He also occasionally does freelance graphic design work as well, and has created logos for Denver bars such as The Continental Club and Tiki Boyd's, as well as numerous flyers for local musicians and bartenders. In his free time, Brian twiddles around with digital photography from time to time, but can't seem to muster the effort required to take it very seriously.
Brian enjoys fine pipe tobacco, cold beer, hot baths, and an ever-increasing array of music, films and books. Above all, Brian M. Clark is extremely fond of writing about himself in the third person, especially in situations such as this, when there's simply nobody else around to sing his highly questionable (and obviously trumped-up) accolades for him.
Brian recently created this website to showcase his various interests, pastimes and job skills--something approximating an online portfolio and partial résumé, if you will--as he has just recently relocated to the Los Angeles area and would very much like to secure for himself a means of gainful employment in the area he now calls home. If you, fair reader, are in possession of such a means of gainful employment--or if you're acquainted with someone in the Los Angeles area who is--then by all means, do be so kind as to drop Brian a line at brian[at]brianmclark.com.
Thanks.
