(and like it that way). Feature writing, copywriting, website content, SEO: Meet your one-woman dream team!
If you had told me that one day I’d get the opportunity to Zoom with Go-Go I’d tell you to shut the front door! It was a pleasure interviewing Kathy Valentine for BUST Magazine on the eve of the band’s well-deserved induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
When I was 12 years old, I found an ancient 1960s kenmore vacuum cleaner ad and an old envelope marked “coupons.” Inside that yellowing envelope was a disintegrating pack of pills for “tension headaches and anxiety.”
Johnny Ramone, Eddie Vedder and Weird Al walk into a green room….OK, better to let legendary singer Kim Warnick tell this joke herself! The Fastbacks' bassist/vocalist is full of hilarious stories, zingy one-liners and a down-to-earth humility that only comes from flying so close to sun and actually living to tell the tale
In songwriter Dustin Umberger’s world, everything starts (and ends) with a laptop. If you’ve heard the bedroom pop punker’s prolific musical output, you know he’s quick to record and lightning fast to publish.
Angelyne was the stuff of Hollywood legend, a buxom blonde goddess sprung to life from an enchanted mud flap. I'd seen the old billboards from the ’80s: Her ample breasts floating high above puny human traffic. Everything about her was pink, hot pink.
America's broken promise to immigrants and refugees, trading aggression for compassion, and whether or not it's OK to eat eggs in the tour van...Yes, it's all on the table, baby!
Don’t call it a come back, she’s been here all along! New Wave princess Josie Cotton is so much more than what we remember from the 80s flick Valley Girl.
I have said it many times, but I will say it again. I want to live inside one of Neal's colorful pool paintings. Hunkered down and hopped up on caffeine, we dissect each song on Hayley and the Crushers’ new album Vintage Millennial (with NO STONE left unturned!!!!!). Yes, it's very TMI. Sounds more tedious than it is. Promise!
Ben Weasel has a way of serving up irresistible venomous delights, with sprinkles on top. You take the first bite, hooked by the sugary groove, only to realize (to your horror) that you’ve now been tasked with confronting some searing truth about yourself or society that you never really wanted to examine. Of course, you can also just bop to the music and ignore all that pesky thinking. Either way, that’s punk!
Bass player and Reta Records Founder Jamie Radu calls in all the way from Montreal Canada for a few drinks and a whole lot of DIY music talk!
