Our Mission Statement

NO UGLY BABIES is a web publication devoted to the review and discussion of popular (and unpopular) music live and on record from the unique perspective of our two-man editorial staff, who seek refuge from the sting of academia and midwestern torpor in the friendly burg of Bloomington, Indiana. Film, books, travel and other cultural phenomena will also receive attention if warranted. No subject is too big or small for NO UGLY BABIES. Be it the latest mega-tour or the most humble of local groups, if it catches our eyes and ears, you'll find it here.

His CD collection is in a big pile on the floor.
