THE STALKER zine - interview with Miss B

I don't even remember what Urge Overkill sounds like, but I do clearly remember how many people were "into" this band while I was living in Athens, Ohio in the 90s. It was perplexing to me, but then again, so were many things at that time. Anyway, here is a hilarious interview presented by The Chicago Ambassador with one of the masterminds behind THE STALKER zine.

Kudos to Miss B and Miss K, most people just don't seem to have the imagination these days for antics like these. Best of luck, whatever you are doing.

Tony Erba: Too Hot For Maximum Rock & Roll interview pt. 2 by Rust Belt Hammer

Great interview with newly married man, Tony Erba of Face Value, H-100s, Nine Shocks Terror, GSMF, Fuck You Pay Me, etc. This is a great joy to read, and as someone who has always been in close contact with the Pittsburgh scene, it was interesting to see his side of the Mr. Roboto Project "incident" that resulted in Nine Shocks Terror being banned from there.

Ok, so I realized that doing record reviews of stuff people send in is just not for me. I am just not cut out for it. It's hard enough these days to get enough time to sit around listening to new records that I buy for myself. Apologies to anyone that sent stuff in that didn't get a review. I will still make an effort to review that stuff when I get the chance or am feeling like an achiever. I almost deleted this blog entirely, but I decided to keep it going and keep posting stuff about local shows that interest me and whatever the hell else. Cheers.

P.S. I started putting music reviews here, but it's basically just a playlist with some commentary here and there.
