Caption Contest: Rock Bible Sightings!
POSTED THURSDAY 07.24.08

I'm a poor man with one copy of the Rock Bible. In a month I will have plenty. But now? I show it to friends who are in town.


Cole from The Black Lips......eyes closed.

Here's The Black Lips and The Dirtbombs checking it out at last night's show at the Variety Playhouse opening for Spiritualized.


Mick Collins from The Dirtbombs! He's really giggling!

Best caption for any will win a free "We're All In This Together" t-shirt.


Ben from The Dirtbombs and Jared Swiley from The Black Lips......




SLUGGO: Bloodstains Across Chunklet Returns!
POSTED MONDAY 07.21.08

I’m feeling nostalgic. It was 25 years ago this December that SLUGGO recorded a whopper of Midwest hardcore, the “Contradiction” 7” E.P. I must have owned, given away, owned again, lost and found this beauty about ten different times. Luckily the last time I checked the boxes there it was and I felt it was time to share. (Also I took an epic nap this afternoon, hence I’m wide-awake in the a.m.). Sluggo were a frenzied gang of youths here in my hometown of Cincinnati, and I mean young, but played tight, ripping HC as evident with the 8 song 7” we are featuring half of here (again, posting the whole thing just ain’t square dealing, get out there and hunt). It can be had for a mere full tank of gas. KBD, DIY, OOP, H/C, SxE, all that good stuff. Enjoy. 


Ah, good old B&W punk rock sleeve.


Ah, good old vinatge punk rock flyer w/ some band from Michigan?


Ah, the...uh, back cover.

Harry Smith "Boy Am I In Trouble"
POSTED FRIDAY 07.18.08

I just finished watching this and all I could think was "wow". Harry Smith is undoubtedly one of the greatest assets to 20th century recorded music, but good god, this is some out there shit. Does anybody know more about this interview/video footage?





The Good & Bad News (and Sic Alps Live!)
POSTED THURSDAY 07.17.08

So there's good news and there's bad news. The bad news first. I've been extremely busy finishing up the new issue, so there's not been much in the way of blog updates. And for that, I apologize. There's a LOT going on, but I have to finish the new issue first. I should add that if you have money to put towards advertising or supporting this endeavor, I'm available.

The good news is that I've been seeing some absolutely stellar shows recently. Sex Vid, American Cheeseburger and the Bukkake Boys leveled an Athens pizza joint's back room on Sunday. Boris, Torche and Clouds brought it on the day after Independence Day. But the big show (at least for me) was seeing Sic Alps perform here in Atlanta on Tuesday with local bands The Suitcases, The NEC and Hawks.


Sic Alps have been a recent fave here at the office and with a new record that came out on Siltbreeze this week, they're keeping their Most Favored Band status for a while longer. After checking with the band and listening back to the recording, they are allowing me to post their performance in its entirety. It was recorded by Mr. Curt Wells.

I strongly recommend buying their new album (TJ, thank you for resurrecting the label!), the singles comp and the new single (complete with off center and way too big center hole) on Important.

Okay, me go back to work now. You're gonna love the new issue. I promise.

How rough are things when you're selling Morbid Angel master tapes on eBay?


Thanks, Stephen.
