I’ve been enjoying listening to a new Uncut EP just released from Andy LaPlegua’s punk band incarnation Scandinavian Cock. It’s in the vein of other great Scandinavian rough edged dirty glam Hanoi Rocks inspired punk bands like Backyard Babies or The Hellacopters, with that special blend of sleazy-pop flavor that subgenre does so well. It […]
My October has been hectic, so I’m just now getting to sharing with you all some more nice press my Backstage Passes anthology has been receiving.

I was just checking up on Twist Magazine, which is a cool alternative webzine out of Sweden that I like.

My block is generally bracketed by Russian (or possibly Armenian) gangsters in big black cars. They keep the neighborhood safe. Hollywood is probably pretty safe anyway. I occasionally hear gunshots at night, but never anything like an AK. Today, however, LAPD bookends my street instead. Rapper Ice Cube has been set up to shoot a […]
My Backstage Passes anthology has been receiving some nice press this week, so I thought I’d share.
