Dan shares a story about winding up on the wrong end of a knife, resulting in a large gash to the left forearm. After enjoying his tale, I realized that my own left forearm was once home to a rather sizable slice, though unlike his mine was self-inflicted. Those days are long behind [...]

"These guys", informs New York Dolls singer David Johansen, with a sweep of the hand towards his band, "were drinking in a bar at Dublin Airport this morning. At 9am." His chuckle deepens as guitarist Sylvain Sylvain stammers something about Irish coffee in futile mitigation. "You're a disgrace," rejoins Johansen. Good. Disgrace is what we're here for, after all.

It's been awhile , but in "Bitches In Tokyo," Montreal's Stars dig further into the past, making like 200 Cigarettes , getting glammed for a house party when the parents aren't home. Before the performance begins, we're given documentary-style footage where the "kids" talk Bowie, Sparks, Lou Reed, Johnny Thunders, New York Dolls, Slade, T.Rex, etc., and then don their eyeliner. After the living room...

Not since ‘Steady, As She Goes’ fooled the world into thinking The Raconteurs might be the outlet for Jack White’s easy-on-the-ear FM rock pleasures has a debut single been as misleading as White Denim’s. Released in early May. ‘Let’s Talk About It’ was a shouty and showy garage-rock steam train that pegged the Austin, Texas trio between the edgy commercialism of The Hives and Devo. Perhaps the drum...

The view from 26F, AC 548, somewhere over Canada 3 May 2008. Dearest Friends, I didn't mean to skip out on you like that. No, really, I didn't. But things got hectic, time got slippery, and it all slid out of my hands like a greased eel... I'm in New York, you see, and will be for the rest of the week, helping Mother prepare for her move. I'm trying to keep my expectations simple. So I'm only asking...

At the moment I feel like I have consumed a bit too much downlaods if you know what I mean, and therefore it is interesting to read some shit about the music and the world that circulates music. That's to say, instead of simply downloading en masse (and listening to the music of course) which I have been doing for the past 2 years.
