About
Welcome to House of Cat – a blog celebrating music, art and culture.
Cat Johnson I’m a blogger, freelance writer, web and graphic design buff, long-time record store nerd/employee, musician, wanna-be photographer, new media enthusiast and a bunch of other things.
In August of 2008, I created House of Cat as a way to bring attention to emerging and under-the-radar artists, musicians who are deserving of our ears and attention, and people who are contributing to our global culture in beautiful, inspiring or thought-provoking ways.
Since then, House of Cat has steadily grown in popularity and size, with an audience that reaches around the globe.
So sit back and take a spin through House of Cat. You will find insightful interviews, music that comes highly recommend, hilarious quotes, glimpses into cultural movements and events and more.
Stay in touch with House of Cat through Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.
Steve Brown – Contributor Steve Brown is one of 13 National Yo-Yo Masters, and the only one to have the crest tattooed on the back of his head. Clearly, this puts him in an altogether different league.
Steve has performed in 17 countries, been on national television in 14 of them, and has been featured on more yo-yo packaging and promotional materials than nearly any modern player. His parents are almost impressed by all of this. His children are not.
Steve holds US Patent #6,371,824 for “Yo-Yo & Method For Using A Yo-Yo”, spent 6 years as the Marketing & Promotions Coordinator for Duncan Toys, and is currently enjoying his role as “Elder Statesman” (read: Old Man) on the Yo-Yo Factory Performance Team. His signature model Yo-Yo Factory yo-yo, the “Die-Nasty”, can be found in stores from Florida to Moscow to Tokyo, and his girlfriend finds all of this incredibly hilarious.
Steve drinks entirely too much coffee, and is working on a retrospective video of his 15 years of yo-yo trick innovation to be released online in 2010. Steve lives in Cleveland, and absolutely loves it. Steve writes in the third-person. Sometimes.
