God where do you begin with a talent like Les Claypool? He has one of the most unique voices and bass playing style in all of the entire music industry. He first broke out with Primus, one of the best bands ever, but they still manage to suck at the same time. With the popularity that Primus gave Claypool he was able to strike...

Ah, my plan is finally coming together, I get to interview all my favorite artists and then invite them to my Bar Mitzvah. At least that was the plan when I was 12. Certainly famed director Walter Hill was high on that list. I may have been a very young man when I saw my first Walter Hill film, 48 Hrs and I definitely did...

I'm also a great Palast fan but the potty mouth stuff doesn't win hearts and minds either. I can call Cheney a fuckwad but a journalist needs to put a cap on that kinda language.

La Perdida is an awsome story and Art babe kicks ass too.

La Perdida is a wonderful story, and I was incredibly impressed by how the plot unfolds so naturally and believably. I really felt for Carla's situation. Thanks for the interview!

SG connection = DigDug designed the book and cover.
when I looked at the home page just now, i saw the rounded box where the latest interview always appears, often with a tasteful and apt image. but just now i thought the current graphic was extremely lacking, ran out of ideas, eh SG? it looked like distressed or oddly billowing text.
but then i saw "NEWS JUNKIE"....and then saw that those were two lines of something a junkie would like. IT WAS THAT MOMENT WHEN GREAT GRAPHIC DESIGN SHONE THROUGH. i was going to post something like "wow, smart graphic that completely drew me into starting the interview and clicking through to the "buy" link."
to find out it is by local hero DD...even sweeter.
nice work!
