Nardwuar: Who are you? John Lydon: [Laughs] I'm John Lydon. I'm half a century young and looking good at it. And John, PiL (Public Image Ltd.) are back on the road. Who's in PiL these days? Bruce Smith on drums, Lu Edmonds on various sorted of instruments from the Middle East, including a guitar for those who like western twangs, and Scott (Firth) on bass. John, I thought it's really interesting that Bruce Smith is back in the band because he also played with The Pop Group and The Slits. Yeah. John Lydon of PiL at ...

Big, brash, loud, and heavy.  That's Moth Circus.  But most important in Ripple world, they do all that without ever losing their groove.  Manic, groovy metal, that's just the way I like it and that's just the way these Norweigian madmen bring it.  Naturally, we cleared off some space on the red leather Ripple interview couch, popped open some cold ones and couldn't wait for the circus ringmaster, Alien Ken, to stop by and enlighten us in the way of the Moth. When I was a kid, growing up in a house with Cat Stevens, Neil ...

Kik Axe "Lost Interview" Series: DEADBOLT - Conducted October 2009 With the acclaim currently being gained by many acts in the Northwest, my little batch of patchouli-stinking heaven is starting to become the first ( maybe second) stop for many Goth, Industrial, and Psychobilly actsf starting the West Coast leg of their tours.  And for these bands, there's no better place to do that than in Diablo’s Downtown Lounge, a creepy little dive affectionately referred to by locals as “The Satan Room.” Diablo’s works diligently to attract the best acts as they make their way through Oregon. Boasting accolades ...

Every now and then I try and convince myself that I like Guns N Roses . After about half a song I turn them off and reach for my copy of Loud N Proud by Nazareth . Axl Rose has never been shy about proclaiming his love for this great Scottish band and the influence on early Guns N Roses is unmistakable. Nazareth guitarist Manny Charlton even produced some demos of songs that later wound up on Appetite for Destruction . But enough about them, this review is about NAZARETH ! Loud N Proud was the 4th album from the band and was released ...

It doesn’t seem thirty years since that night at Wessex Studios when The Clash were putting the finishing touches on ‘London Calling’. We’d been sitting around for hours while Mick Jones and engineer Bill Price sequenced the tracks into their final running order, killing time by playing Space Invaders and doing animal impressions. Then Mick walked into the lounge and announced, “It’s ready.” ‘London Calling’ was about to be played in full for the first time. At this point, Joe Strummer suddenly remembered that I also ran a magazine called Zigzag and decided that I should experience ...

Monday night: over to the Grand Union now that the rain has eased... an unusual gig, Anni Fenterman, Dave Webber and Brian Peters coming together for their take on Kipling's 'Barrack Room Ballads' and beyond via the settings of the late Pete Bellamy. Supported by the usual high level of singing from the floor and two veterans of the scene, Tim Garland and Geoff Halford, a veteran's veteran perhaps but still a deep power in his lungs and heart that belie his years. A slightly different format for a folk gig and one that worked very well – contextual ...

One word. Turmoil. That's the best way to describe my personal life since the last time I came thru to write. My children are getting grown, my man is still driving me nuts with his passion for motorcycles, and yes, I'm still working on that novel. For the last four months, I've had my to-do list in hand, hoping that I didn't allow anything to fall by the waste-side. Now if you've been following Remembering R&B; though, you'd already know that I'm usually juggling multiple situations. But if you've been following since ...

I have been hearing about this album for years. I listened to a couple samples and it sounds crazy. Fans of Madlib should definitely give this a listen. Several years back Madlib took a bunch of reggae/ska tracks and Madlib'ed the shit out of them. The project is called Blunted In The Bomb Shelter . I still haven't heard the whole thing, but I'm downloading it now. You should probably do the same. Credit to RappCats . 1. Place in the Sun/Fire Corner/Black Man Time – David Isaacs 2.

Just received an email from our friend Johnny Love, known as Deathface , previously known as one half of Guns'N'Bombs, which both collaborations have toured with us in the past. Just this year Deathface has graced our shores playing along side Danger, Toxic Avenger, Passions, Bobmo, and others at the We Love Sounds Festival, and it seems like he is making his return back down under around October (according to his myspace) Anyways, he has sent me an email with some cool new remixes he has just done, and I thought i'd blog them. First remix is the ...

If you haven't already heard, Johnny Love formerly known as one of the masterminds behind the duo Guns N Bombs (RIP) has lately been putting out new tracks under the name Deathface . I really like the stuff he's been releasing which are mostly songs with heavy basslines and insane drops. Check out his latest remix, this time of the track Stay the Same by autoKratz . autoKratz - Stay the Same (Death Face is Different Remix) (ALT)

He just sent us his latest remix to "Cumbia" by Mexican Institute of Sound, Enjoy! Mexican Institute of Sound - Cumbia (Deathface Remix)

Hell and High Water (1954, 103 minutes)(buy/ rent ) "I shall try my best to make you like me... as a scientist." A private consortium suspects that nuclear activity is occurring in on an island in the neutral waters of the North Pacific.  They hire a mercenary WWII vet (Richard Widmark) to captain a submarine for a recon mission.  Packed in the tin can are a full crew of sweaty men and one va-va-voomish French scientist. Fuller calls this "easily my least favorite picture" because it's not from one of his original scripts; he did this as a favor ...
