Want to see Reality 862d , the ultra-rare 1991 documentary that chronicles one of the most influential times in punk rock ever, when Henry Rollins-era Blag Flag turned punk on its head and proved themselves more pivotal than the Sex Pistols and Ramones combined?

So the news is True. Henry Rollins has picked up his pros again in the form of a L.A. Weekly music column. To add a element of professionalism he also has twitter account and a saturday night radio show on KCRW . Holy fucking shit. Yes it happened - he's back and burning on all cylinders. In his first column he writes about outsider music - or some lonely hippies he remembers who would not join the party inside the house. He brings up Diamanda Galas as having turned him on to such music as [...]

In 1957, Memphis musician, Jim Stewart, tried hawking a two song tape to Sun Records , who turned him down. Undaunted, he started his own company, Satellite Records , to release it. After a few years of success, Atlantic signed them to a distribution deal. Satellite's first major hit was Last Night, which had been recorded by The Royal Spades, who upon release had their name changed to the Mar-Kays. It rose to number two on the R&B charts and three on the Pop. National prominence forced the fledging company to change their [...]
