I think of the wet streets at night in Normal Heights and the fog up from the canyons. The smell of American Spirits in Tyler’s car when you first opened the passenger door and the chill at dawn when you hadn’t slept. I remember mornings in Hillcrest waking up at Julia’s mom’s place on Washington MORE…
Five years ago today, the Toronto-based band METZ did a 7″ with Three One G that delivers beautiful moments that feel like a magic hammer to the teeth of all your worst enemies, like a unicorn shitting pure gold drizzle into your favorite coffee cup. Over the course of just a few glorious minutes, the MORE…
Of innumerable bands that traffic in dissonance, the musick of Pittsburgh, PA’s Microwaves shears clean and hot as an oxy-lance through the defenses of even the most cynical noise rock aficionado. The trio plies a no-wave/prog-thrash scree that evokes the doings of today’s renegade wetware punks who shove glass-sheathed RFID chips and rare-earth magnets into MORE…
2014, Cold Creek, Wisconsin Every night in the cabin (she had been there three weeks) Agnes McCanty, 34, lit a cigarette and listened to side A and B of Mozart’s Requiem, K. 626, performed by the New York Philharmonic (Irmgard Seefried, soprano, Jennie Tourel, alto, Leopold Simoneau, tenor, William Warfield, bass, the Westminster Choir, John MORE…
Need a dental-based band to put on an awkwardly amazing/amazingly awkward performance at your teenage birthday party? Three One G’s Holy Molar might be one plausible option (watch the “Dentist the Menace” DVD, if you haven’t yet, for this scenario to make only slightly more sense). Formed in San Diego in 2001, the band consisted MORE…
Note: this is the text from a tape I did on Three One G, a collaboration between myself (words) and Demetrius Francisco Antuña (music). It doesn’t make a lot of sense if you just read the text without the audio recording, so throw in the tape (or go to the streaming service of your choice), MORE…
This is an FAQ for my fiction column Locust House Variations. I get a lot of questions about the storyline, how the writing here connects to the book Locust House, and what’s what and who’s who in my fictional universe. Here’s my attempt at answering them all in one batch. Q: What is this column? MORE…

Note: This is the text from the collaborative record I did with Planet B. For context, Life is the Meatgrinder that Sucks in All Things is the prequel to Locust House, which is the prequel to Who Are the Mystery Girls?, all of which focus upon the character Agnes McCanty. It takes place two days MORE…
Deaf Club is a savage sound bath dripping with sardonicism: a blastbeat-centric hardcore punk assault channeling crust, thrash, and grind (un)sensibilities. Succinct pauses, surreal frequencies and effects, breakneck pace and sharply hurled vocals characterize the band’s aesthetic, which seems as though it is rooted in a sort of nasty-sound-meets-highbrow-message ethos. Fueled by the onslaught of MORE…
