The Youth Die Young by Mad Rad Seattle is a strange little world. A place where everything is separated by about 1.5 degrees of freedom (You lose Kevin Bacon ). Case in point: I like to drink on the hill at Liberty bar (a lot) and I love everybody there. I have also been hearing amazing things on the hill about Mad Rad (but have never made it to one of their burn-down-the-building shows). So worlds collided tonight when a friend post a photo of the CD release party and I finally realized [...]

When Brian Batz is not performing as Sleep Party People ( review ) he joins some friends as Scarlet Chives . The video has a similar vibe to Sleep Party People except that the song is a bit more upbeat and the underwater vocals have been replaced with some very nice non-altered vocals from Maria Mortensen. Alll-in-all a really fun song. Check out their myspace page for additional videos. Side note: Does this song title not make you think of the TSA's new enhanced pat down procedure?

Peter ‘ Sleazy ’ Christopherson passed away in his sleep last night (November 24th 2010). As a musician he was a core part of Throbbing Gristle , Psychic TV and most dear to me Coil . I first heard Coil in 1986 when I bought Horse Rotorvator just based on liking the cover artwork (That's how we did back before the internets). The album left a lasting impression on me and started me looking at every other band on Some Bizzare . As a video director he worked with artists such as NIN, [...]
