Ypsi: Music
Detroit Metro Times publishes a cover story on Matt Jones, an Ypsilanti singer-songwriter who’ll be performing at the publication’s Feb. 29 Blowout pre-party: “Though Jones, like any songwriter worth his salt, has had to work through heady personal problems, his tunes have never slipped into the goofy supernatural or the too sentimental. Jones is not one of those ‘Midwest beardo-sensitive types’; in fact, if the cello and upright bass creak out stark lullaby basics, it always is given a warm, just-barely jovial gloss by Jones’ melodies, words and breathy delivery.” [Source]

A2: Camp Take Notice
The World Socialist website posts an update on Camp Take Notice, a tent camp on the outskirts of Ann Arbor built by people who are homeless. From the report: “Rick, 50, who asked not to be photographed, explained that he was a plumber until 2008, when the construction industry collapsed. After this devastating decline in his income, Rick fell behind on his child support payments for his two sons and was jailed as a result in 2010. In August, realizing his bleak job prospects and wary of being a burden to his family, Rick decided to come to Ann Arbor to live at the camp. … Rick said he came to Ann Arbor because it was ‘the best city of opportunity in the whole state.’” [Source]
