Out of the waving wheat that sure smells sweet comes Ignacious with another great review–this time his focus is on PiL and their opus Metal Box.
Public Image Limited Concept Albums:
(1 of 3) – “METAL BOX”
Metal Box’s overrunning importance today, when issues as to the health of Mother Nature and planet Earth are smothered by interested [...]

Pearl Harbour vs. Pearl Harbor
Posted in Bands, Los Angeles, MySpace Pages, Performers, Punk, Shows, Songwriters on July 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Piper and Sky, a couple of L.A. youngsters, have a cool band called Pearl Harbour that’s playing out a bunch!
And now I honestly can’t decide whether they are better, or whether I prefer Pearl Harbor and the Explosions. I think they should play on the same stage. That would be fucking radd.

My main man Dan, the sexiest of all L.A. Record contributors, got to interview Chuck D last week! And the interview is in the print version of the magazine.
But one of his questions that didn’t make the cut was about Public Enemy and Anthrax collaborating on a version of “Bring the Noise!” I know that for [...]

Well, you could argue on Bill Monroe’s behalf. But Bill never did this:

I just finished reading Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock-and-Roll’s Legendary Neighborhood. While it was cool to read about Frank Zappa’s log cabin and Joni Mitchell living with Stephen Stills, I have to admit that in my heart, I still prefer balls-out rockers to any of these hippie fucks. What the fuck can Stephen Stills tell me [...]
I want Mike for Christmas!

Santa brought me the Young Ones on DVD, the OHM electronic music box-set, some cook books including The Veganomicon, and even winter snows! But perhaps my favorite gift of the modern era is the internet, where I can go back and see strange clips from things I saw on telly when I was ten!

It’s fifteen minutes until Christmas! Enjoy it the Slade way. From The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer…
The Haunted House of Horror

This is one of those films that you know kind of sucks but you still have to see. I usually hate spoilers, but I just have to say it: Frankie Avalon gets stabbed through his dick in this movie! There is a crotch stabbing, and the Big Kahuna gets it! And you also get to [...]
Milk and Sylvester and Neil Young!

I just saw Gus Van Sant’s Milk last night. Of course it was great and moving and sad and informative. And of course Sean Penn wowed us with his performance, even though we already knew it was going to be good.
But amidst all the drama and sadness and history, I got a little nugget of [...]
I don’t believe a Zappa on a Sunday!

I want to stress that I have had some friends who were uanbashed Zappa dorks. Like, people who would claim his version of “Ring of Fire” was better than the Johnny Cash version. Or who would sit around watching Zappa dick around on stage in 1983 with a bunch of drums and chimes. I am not [...]
