Scott Ritcher is a magazine publisher and graphic designer from Louisville, Kentucky, born September 27, 1969. Ritcher is the publisher of K Composite Magazine and runs a small publishing house also called K Composite. The magazine contains interviews of his friends and other people who are not famous.〔About K Composite http://www.kcomposite.com/about〕 The magazine has been featured in Rolling Stone, The Chicago Tribune, and on Talk of the Nation on NPR. He is the former proprietor of the Slamdek Record Company which released early recordings by influential punk and indie rock bands including Endpoint, Rodan, Jawbox, and Ritcher's own bands Sunspring and the Metroschifter. The label's first release was a cassette tape by the synthesizer band Pink Aftershock in 1986 and its last was a Sunspring retrospective CD in 1995. Slamdek pressed 44 different records during its nine years in business. In 1998, Ritcher entered politics as the Reform Party's candidate for Mayor of Louisville. Though he spent only $1000 on the campaign, Ritcher had a respectable showing at the polls and finished third of four candidates. He announced his candidacy in early 2008 as an independent candidate for Kentucky Senate from District 35. A controversial lawsuit brought by the Democratic incumbent Denise Harper Angel eventually disqualified Ritcher from the race. Angel's suit alleged that some of the signatures gathered on Ritcher's ballot petition were those of voters living outside the lines of Kentucky's State Senate District 35 and therefore inadmissible.〔LEO Weekly, September 10, 2008 http://leoweekly.com/news-features/news/out-bounds-an-independent-state-senate-candidate-may-get-sued-out-contention〕 Reporting the verdict, the political site Page One Kentucky published the entire court order and noted, "while votes for Ritcher will no longer be counted, the court still backs Ritcher's honesty by plainly stating that the district boundaries that create the 35th Senate District are confusing."〔Page One Kentucky, October 13, 2008 http://pageonekentucky.com/2008/10/13/denise-harper-angel-kdp-stifle-democracy/〕 In 2008, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported that his company K Composite "has completed the sale of its social networking site EggFly.com to a startup company, Ikimbo 2.0 of Radnor, Pennsylvania." According to the bio on his campaign website, he has been a contributor to LEO, Velocity Weekly, College Music Journal, public radio's This American Life, and appeared as a newspaper photographer in the 1999 film ''The Insider''.〔Scott Ritcher for Kentucky Senate http://www.ballotrevolution.org/biography.php〕 Sunspring reunited on May 14, 2010,〔Second Endpoint Show Added http://louisvillemusic.org/blog/2010/03/26/second-endpoint-show-added/〕 with Endpoint for a cancer benefit for Jason Noble of Rodan and Rachel's. Ritcher moved to Stockholm in 2009〔Broken Sidewalk, February 3, 2010 http://brokensidewalk.com/2010/02/03/reprint-ritcher-monorail-plan-from-1998/〕 and is now a US citizen with Swedish residency.〔Velocity Weekly, June 8, 2009 http://louisville.metromix.com/events/article/scott-free/1237836/content〕 ==External links== *( Biography on the Ritcher for Senate website ) *(''This American Life'' episode #128: "Four Corners" ) *(K Composite Magazine ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scott Ritcher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
