This zine, from New Zealand, is about the best resource for making a zine in the smallest amount of pages that I have ever seen. Sure, some other zines have more content and ideas on how to make magazines, but for the cost (free) and the page count (16 eighth pages) the value is just immeasurable. In fact, one entire side is devoted to lists, including a listing of the…
While the original engagement of Little Fish only ran for a little over three weeks (February 15th to March 9th, 2003), the impact that Michael John LaChiusa’s music had on all lucky enough to familiarize themselves with it cannot be understated. This was first seen in the musical’s second life, where it enjoyed over a month of performances in 2007 at The Blank Theatre (Los Angeles). The musical’s cast recording,…
“Father Time†is Ketchum’s tenth studio album, and it represents a perfect example as to where Ketchum currently is in eir musical development, and what really is left for eir to conquer with the next ten or so albums. The first track on “Father Timeâ€, “Invisible†is a perfect introduction to 2008’s Ketchum, no matter if the individual listening in is familiar with Ketchum’s previous recording. “Invisible†skillfully blends trends…
A tuneful collision of Athens institutions finds fruition this fall when Orange Twin releases Vic Chesnutt’s collaboration with Elephant 6 psychsters Elf Power, Dark Developments. As intriguing as this combination may seem for hardcore fans of either act, the final sonic results reveal a daunting sum much greater than even the involvement of such esteemed parts would imply. The Elves’ lived-in dexterity as a live band goads Vic’s vocal delivery…

After kicking out the hecklers that were bothering them during sound check, The Evens (Ian Mackaye and Amy Farina) played an amazing set that was reminiscent of early nineties alternative music. It also included hints of mid-to-late nineties goth music. There is no kidding about it; Ian is one of the most talented musicians in the current period to pick up a guitar. This is not to say that Amy…

Kelly’s previous zine, Do As I Say, Not As I Do, was one of the most memorable zines that I had the pleasure to read. This time, Kelly moves away from the personal and creates a resource for all transgendered individuals and people that are interested in the subject. Even though it was taken largely from the Gender Terminology List of T. Aaron Hands, the opening subject defining different terms…

However, O2 has stepped their game up from their first offering. The O2 945 offering is 94 proof but feels as smooth going down as any other super-premium, 80 proof…

The Goodlife (Acoustic) / Three-Fifths – May 2004 I was really vascillating about whether or not I should attend this show the two days immediately preceding, as I had the notion that my attendance would validify any thought that the band should split into two entities. Put on by the religious group Young Life, this show included yet another of the endless line of singer-songwriters that take the same bag…

Hear the song here.
Born from the dissolution of the Postman Syndrome, East of the Wall formed as Brett Bamberger (bass, Biclops/ex-Day without Dawn/ex-Postman Syndrome) and Mike Somers (drums, ex-Postman Syndrome) joining forces with guitarist Jeff Speidell (Delft). The self-titled EP that followed was noteworthy for its duplicitous nature, straddling the line between an engulfing ambience and crushing force. Shortly after the release of the EP, the band added guitarist Matt Lupo (ex-Postman Syndrome)…
