Standing on the cliffside at Law Street, the wind blowing a storm in from offshore, the sky a churning arcade of black clouds to the west, and the sea a mess of whitecaps and chop, you think about last night. (It never rains in Southern California, except when it does.) Agnes, back home your tiny MORE…

The concept of Cult and Culture began as a short segment created by Justin Pearson, an internationally known musician, record label owner (Three One G Records), author, and actor. He is best known as bassist/vocalist for bands such as Dead Cross, The Locust, and Retox. Justin has come to know and work with a broad MORE…

Sometimes final statements hint at great things to come and in the absence of the one (or ones or of the collective entity) who made that statement, their legend and import grows like a strange alien plant in the moonlight. Such is the case with Heaven’s Pregnant Teens, the last studio recording by Some Girls MORE…

The discussion, which takes place via Zoom has a different artist each month and is open to all subscribers.

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…
