More than a decade ago, Bela Koe-Krompecher started writing the story of his life one blog post at a time. As a former co-owner of the essential Columbus record store Used Kids and the proprietor of the great independent label Anyway Records, Bela was at the center of our city’s incredible underground rock scene in the 1990s, spending his days in a blur of legendary rock shows and drunken exploits. By 2009, he had gotten sober, started a family, and entered into a career in social work. That’s when he started posting vivid anecdotes about his youth, centered on his relationships with two brilliant musicians who also happened to be total firecrackers.
