Garmon's lyrical, oft-hallucinatory writings have been a fixture in L.A. rock journalism since the late 1990s through his scene columns in Mean Street,

medical marijuana critic, reviewing dispensaries and strains in the print edition of the L.A. Record. He contributed live music reviews, and under the heading 'Hear This While High' recommended pairings of recordings and marijuana strains, to the SF Weekly music blog "All Shook Down".[4]
1" His byline has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Famous Monsters of Filmland, Famous Monsters Underground #1,[5] Brand X, Utne Reader, The Tracking Angle, Scarlet Street, New Angeles Monthly, and the Heinlein Journal. Examples of Garmon's approach to the rock LP can be found in Lost in the Grooves: Scram's Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed.[6] He wrote liner notes for the CD reissues of The Best of Spirit and four Bootsy Collins albums.[7]

His speculative fiction is published in Paraphilia[8] and Antique Children.[9] Garmon and fellow science fiction writer Brad Linaweaver were 2002 nominees for the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for one of their "Left Brain/Right Brain" features in Cult Movies Magazine. His 1998 RetroVision article[10] on radical filmmaker Peter Watkins was cited in A Companion to Science Fiction.[11]
