When she’s up, she’s angry, and when she’s down, she’s despairing, and although Gizzelle touches other kinds of songs, those are the ones that will stick with you most.

RECORD, and his Re/Search books are a decontamination manual for the human mind. He will be speaking with L.A. RECORD alum Henry Rollins at the L.A. Zine Fest on Sunday, which will be followed by a free afterparty with the Allah Las, Cold Showers and Neverever! This interview by Chris Ziegler.
R. STEVIE MOORE: MY LIFE WAS A MIXTAPE
January 31st, 2012 · No Comments
R. Stevie Moore has been home-taping pretty much since audio tape became available, and after an uncompromising and idiosyncratic discography that feels like hundreds of distinct geniuses at work together, he has become the undisputed king of the righteous outsiders. He has a new very limited 45 out with Ariel Pink, and coincidentally or not Ariel Pink will be DJ-ing the Echo with Black Bananas and Pink Mountaintops on Thursday. This interview by Chris Ziegler.

REIGNING SOUND: THAT WAY LIES MADNESS
January 23rd, 2012 · No Comments
The all-powerful Reigning Sound roared out of Memphis with the realest soulful rock ‘n’ roll since the Flamin Groovies, the Real Kids and Esquerita all ruled the earth together. They visit California far too seldom, so don’t miss these shows at Alex’s Bar this weekend! (With the Strange Boys opening!? How will we ever go back to normal?) Win tickets here, and then read this interview by Chris Ziegler.
