Grunge

Grunge Unlike the book signing I went to a few weeks back with Iggy Pop , Grunge was an era that looking back totally changed my life. I am sure I am not alone. The entire movement itself made me aware that other music was out there that the main stream media wasn't telling me about. It made me dig deeper then what MTV and my alternative radio station were playing. The beauty of it is that it was still a time when MTV was playing videos, and Clear Channel didn't own the air waves. Now, I was young [...]

Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore at The Knitting Factory

(click image to enlarge) Last September The Knitting Factory hosted a birthday celebration for the Fender Jazzmaster with performances by Tom Verlaine, Nels Cline, J Mascis and Lee Ranaldo & Thurston Moore. Of the Ranaldo/Moore performance the Fender website says: "When their fingers proved unsuitable for achieving the next level of dissonance, the musicians used tuning forks [...]

Thurston Moore against the Griffin

As if it wasn't bad enough that the BBC put poor Nick Griffin in a room full of people who disagreed with him, and somehow contrived to make him look like a nasty, racist, self-serving idiot by pointing a camera at him and letting him speak, now even Sonic Youth are having a pop from the stage of the Kentish Town Forum: "Thanks for standing up to the BNF goons," [Thurston Moore] told the crowd, eliciting loud cheers. "Fucking clowns..." The NME helpfully suggests that maybe Moore was deftly conflating the BNP and the [...]

Raincoats Members Working on Band Documentary

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive In the liner notes for Nirvana 's 1992 'Incesticide' album, Kurt Cobain wrote about his search in London for the debut album by late '70s British female band the Raincoats . He came up empty-handed then, but Cobain later met Raincoats guitarist and singer Ana Da Silva at an antiques place where she worked at, and she later sent him a copy of that record accompanied by a letter. "It made me happier," Cobain wrote, "than playing [...]

Free MP3: Jemina Pearl (Be Your Own Pet) – “Looking For Trouble”

As you probably know, former Be Your Own Pet frontwoman Jemina Pearl is making good use of her queen bee vocal sass appeal on a solo album, Break It Up , which dropped last Tuesday on Thurston Moore 's Ecstatic Peace label. Still haven't given it a shot? Perhaps this new single will convince you. Featuring razor-sharp and polished production from John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.), Pearl has no problem letting her snarly defiance shine through in the throwdown "Looking For Trouble."

Boomslang! : Night One

Boomslang! : Night One I have a confession to make. For years I would loudly proclaim my opinion that Lexington was vastly inferior to Louisville and that nobody in their right mind would ever want to live there. Now, my love for Louisville hasn't waned a bit (I still think it's the greatest town in America), but Lexington is quickly making a case for being one of the most exciting towns in the Midwest. With this year's Boomslang Fest courtesy of WRFL , they are [...]

MIMICKING BIRDS, LAMPS, + TREMELLOW @ BOOTLEG THEATER

Reminiscent of the shoegaze bands from the eighties at times, but fresh enough to bring some flair to the table, Tremellow played a strong set with a lot of energy regardless of the small crowd. This was lost however on the neighborhood, and their set was concluded when the Bootleg Theater was closed by two uniformed police officers due to sound—which was a first, according to the bartender Ben, who later asked for a CD.

TEENAGE JESUS AND THE JERKS: NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY DISGUST ME

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks were arguably one of the most feralized bands on the No New York compilation and Lydia Lunch would only penetrate deeper and deeper from there. A one-shot reunion show in New York last year has become a mini-tour that will visit L.A., but after that, says Lunch, it's done and buried. Brutalization follows. This interview by Chris Ziegler.

Cool Not To Be Cool: The Feelies Reissued

Somewhere along the way the Feelies became obscure. Relegated to the pantheon of rock "influences," bands who are known more for inspiring other, more famous bands than for their own work. It wasn't always that way.

My day at this year's Brooklyn Book Festival, accompanied by a gazillion photos

My day at this year's Brooklyn Book Festival, accompanied by a gazillion photos Being at the Brooklyn Book Festival —which I also attended in its year of inception, and which has clearly multiplied its prowess since then—was rejuvenating. Really, it's not a bad place to be at on a Sunday when you've been feeling brain-dead for months. I only wish I'd gotten there soon enough to catch more panels than I did. It was a few minutes past 2pm when I rushed past the steps outside the Historic Brooklyn Borough Hall. Nelson George ( City Kid [...]
