by James Marshall Kristian Hoffman has had a long and quite fabulous, almost Zelig-like career, beginning in the early 70's, where as a high school student in Santa Barbara, California, he hooked up with a young Lance Loud, often appearing as Loud's best pal on the first ever reality TV show - An American Family . I remember the first episode I saw, he was playing keyboards, and rocking out on "Brown Sugar" in a garage band that featured Lance as the lead singer. Kristian moved to NYC with Lance in the early [...]

Alright Sydney folk, listen good. We're doing a combined Death Strobe / Disco Delicious 3rd birthday party next Friday the 28th at Gilligans (Sydney) which will be super duper spectacular!!

I'm woeful at promoting so any help with spreading the word to wonderful dancing people would be greatly appreciated! First 50 people in get a CD of some disco faves of ours, including some tricky-to-find gems. Clickity click the flyer for deets. [...]
Yup, we missed the boat for New Years Resolutions (which are bullshit anyway), but regardless, fellow TDT writer Norwood Derr and myself are attempting to give up the tobacco tubes. Disaster, frustration, and replacement vices loom in the near future, but at least you guys get a sweet mix out of it. We have no interest in persuading you to quit too, mostly because A.) smoking really does make you look cooler and B.) we are doing this for shallow reasons including money, smelling better, and wanting to play with our new Bowflex. Needless to say, it will be an [...]
One night a few years ago, I was record shopping at this store called Rocks In Your Head, which used to be on Prince Street in SoHo. My friend Jessica brought me there for the first time after I met her at her place of work (an upscale spa with an A-list clientele) around the corner. There was a cute girl that used to work behind the counter, and she introduced me to bands like Orange Juice, Psychic Ills, and The Contortions. Although technically I don't think my asking, "What is this we're listening to?" counts as having her introduce [...]
Few periods of rock history have gone largely unnoticed, yet have had the widest array of influence on much of the emerging music today, as well as the late eighties and into the nineties. I don't mean to bring us back to the 70's for more music history, but for those music lovers out there, you can't help but look back to that decade, especially when trying to understand some of our most coveted bands. Starting in the late 70's, approximately 1976 for those keeping tabs, the brewing of a new [...]

"No Beatles, Elvis, or the Rolling Stones in 1977" was the rally cry sung by punk-rockers The Clash on the b-side of their debut single that was released that same year. By 1978, punk itself could've been added to that list of rock & roll relics. If the dissolution of the Sex Pistols that year was the end, then the release of No New York was the certificate of death. No Wave emerged from the seedy artists' haven of the Lower East Side in the late '70s in the shadow of the punk [...]

Study Music
So today, as everyone undoubtedly knows, is the 461st anniversary of the Council of Trent! Yeah, I've got a mod-Europe history exam tonight... Therefore, in lieu of exam-time, and the different music-listening-while-studying habits we all have, I figured this would be a good excuse to share some music that helps me study. Procrastinate: ? verb delay or postpone action. Tried, tested, and truly excruciating. Knowing about the exam for 3 weeks means nothing, it's now the night before the test - cram cram cram. Spastic and [...]
