Joe Koch is a writer and musician from Mississippi living in the DC area.  He’s the owner and managing editor of Fig & Mint (http://www.figandmint.com), known worldwide as “The Interweb’s Most Edurecated Music Blog.” His other current projects include an album he can’t seem to finish and a novel he can’t seem to start.  Because writing and musicianing doesn’t pay well these days, he also has a day job that forces him to sell out to corporate America and ride subway trains for long hours with thousands of other haplessly proselytized commuters.  For more from Joe, visit Fig & Mint
