I've always been drawn to dark people and dark places. I don't think it says as much about the person as it does the things they've endured over the course of time. I've always viewed life as a collage of the experiences we've gathered. A junkie doesn't come out of the womb with a hypodermic needle in it hand. Sure, we can argue that genetics play a role in its future addiction, but I'm a firm believer that unless something goes seriously wrong in that person's life they have the ability to rationally deal with that outcome.

Alejandro Escovedo's cover of Gun Club's "Sex Beat" has been posted here before and played many a time on my radio show over the years as well. Why? Because like any good re-interpretation, it takes the song's bare essence and spins it until it becomes something entirely different — and yet it hangs on to [...]

Did you ever see one of those real Lon Chaney Jr. movies, the look on his face just before he turned, when he knew it was going to happen and there was absolutely nothing he could do stop it. I was like that once. We had a word for it: we called it dopesick. When I started to go out with the first woman that I married she lived in what amounted to the girl's sorority punk rock house in Raleigh NC. This was during the Jesse Helms days in the North Carolina Capitol city, when [...]

Kurt from Maryland! Thank you for your donation! I will definitely write a Post-It note reminding me to seek out another copy of The Life & Times of Laddio Bolocko . As you can plainly see in the graphic above, I have hit a wall here, a little more than halfway through my fundraiser. With exactly one week (that's 7 days) remaining, I am still $197.45 short of my $350 goal. When I think about how many people look at this page today (~600), I begin to wonder -- isn't one of you in the "wealthiest 1%" [...]

Years before the Odinson mixed it up with Ego the Living Planet or the Autobots struggled against Unicron's Orsonwellesian might , the Big Red Cheese found himself going mano-a-planeto with a sentient planetary body which may be familiar to most of you... "Captain Marvel Battles the World" (from Captain Marvel Adventures #148, September 1953; by Otto Binder & C.C. Beck) is narrated by Earth itself. (For some reason I imagine Earth sounding just like Sterling Holloway.) After a quick introduction guaranteed to outrage [...]

This is quite simply one of the best compilations ever. This is the raw sound of some of the wildest rock n' roll tunes ever scraped up off the recording studio floor. It's a collection of original songs that were later covered by The Cramps. If you are a fan of them, then this is a must have, but even if you're not familiar with The Cramps, this is great just for the song by Hasil Adkins alone. The primordial unhinged oozing & throbbing of a complete cerebral meltdown. The tracklist & song selection on [...]

Jeffrey Lee Pierce was born June 27, 1958.....in Montebello, California (East of Los Angeles) and also lived in El Monte, and Reseda, California. In his late teens, he became a fixure at many Hollywood clubs and soon was writing for various fanzines including SLASH magazine....he would write reviews of gigs as well as bands. He was a huge fan of Blondie and became the president of their fan club as well. Inspired by bands like X, Television, the Cramps, he met Kid Congo Powers and insisted he learn guitar, and they formed the Creeping Ritual in 1980-81....the [...]

I am already getting the feeling that the next four days are going to produce uninspired posts as I wrack my brain leading up to the annual Friday Top Ten of Halloween costumes. I'll try to be captivating and informative. Hopefully you'll bear with me as I struggle to be funny. So, what did I do last night, you ask? After staring into my empty refrigerator for an uncomfortably long time, I decided to forgo eating. What's one more night without dinner? Instead, I watched the Red Sox game and then Adult Swim. Between innings I worked through [...]

Same scenario for this mix, folks...no artwork, no song order. Sorry 'bout that. Sleep does a body good. I'm feeling shiny and new this morning. I've been haunted by a few ghosts lately that I'd like to lay to rest. I've been exerting far too much energy analyzing why more friendships and relationships in my life have failed than succeeded. As I sat behind the controls of my Mac last night, I came to a startling conclusion...music is the best friend I'll ever have. [...]
According to this CNet article , the web sites a person visits say as much about them as the clothes they wear and the cars they drive. For example, the author of the article suggests that if you are a frequent MySpace visitor, you are between the ages of 11 and 35, you have never quite grown up, and you are strongly influenced by alternative music. Also MySpace visitors are, "united in their homemade haircuts, abhorrence of popular fashion and fondness for obscure electropunk. Typical MySpace users treat their profiles like a sandbox: a place where they [...]

If you've never used last.fm before, it used to be known as Audioscrobbler and is a small and inoffensive plugin you add to your music player (iTunes, Winamp etc). As you listen to music, last.fm records the tracks you've listened to, builds up a profile and recommends music you might like and
Song: The Other Side of Summer Artist: Elvis Costello Album: The Very Best of Comments: Declan McManus does not disappoint here. From his very "pop" Mighty Like a Rose . Lots of back up vocals and vocal overdubs make this really upbeat song something of a surprise. It's not "Radio,Radio" but equally as satisfying. Song: Distance Artist: Ignite Album: Call on My Brothers Comments: Call on My Brothers is as perfect as Ignite would ever get. Very [...]

Alejandro Escovedo's cover of Gun Club's "Sex Beat" has been posted here before; been played more than once on my radio show as well. Why? Because like any good re-interpretation, it's takes the song's bare essence and spins it until it becomes something different entirely -- and yet it hangs on to the the same sense of purpose the original intended. On "Sex Beat" we have Gun Club's Jeffrey Lee Pierce's [...]

Locusts vibrate under tonight’s full moon. In this summer of warheads pinned on maps and head-butts in boring games, it brings me great ease to shine my tarnished, piddling platter of ditties. We scarred and hardy working beings need tunes to expose the nothing that is not there and the nothing that is. The first candidate for lawn-chair exercise is one Jimmy Arnold, a country delicacy who reveled in ignominy and couldn’t shake the demon that rode him, even as he learned a Pentecostal tongue and sobered at life’s end. Originally from VA, at 23 Jimmy was perhaps the greatest [...]
