Italian folklore once told that the only cure for a tarantula spider bite was to dance the most frenzied, inspired dance of your life or you would surely die a result of its hallucinogenic venom. Those bitten danced as if possessed, losing themselves in the feverish mandolin music played by villagers, and so the ritualistic Tarantella dance came to be. Another story suggests the dance...

Hank Moody eases his convertible sports car onto the long and twisting road that snakes through Hollywood Forever Cemetary, making his way past the ponds, tombs and exotic birds that roam the grounds. A cigarette dangles from his lips and it looks like he might have had one too many drinks the night before and perhaps, just moments ago, kicked some strange woman-child out of...

I have never seen nor heard of this show. Obviously I live under a bridge somewhere.

On another note, it sounds like something I might enjoy.

Never heard of this either. Sounds interesting though. I'll have to check it out.

Control: An Interview With Producer Orian Williams

Before dawn on Sunday May 18, 1980 a 23-year-old Ian Curtis was found dead in his kitchen, having hung himself with a clothesline. His death signaled the end of Joy Division, the post-punk pioneers who later reformed as New Order, and in a way, signaled the end of poetic innocence in the burgeoning Manchester music scene. His wife, Deborah, had his lyrics Love Will Tear...

I cannot wait for this film. The book it's based on is well-written, and all the clips/trailers I've seen of the film are amazing.

Also, remastered editions of Joy Division's catalogue are out in October.

The Black Angels

Over the last five years Austin, TX has become the new Seattle. Bands such as And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead and Explosions In The Sky have paved the way for hundreds of other local acts trying to break through the obscurity. The Black Angels are well on their way to joining their comrades and becoming a staple in the indie...

I heard them for the first time this year in Bossier City, LA. Really cool, really laid back, and easy to talk with. They did a show with Vietnam and some local band I can't remember. It was the worst hole-in-the-wall venue but really cool atmosphere despite all. And again...the band kicks ass! love
craftygrrl:
I've seen them live twice in Seattle. Once opening up for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and about 2 weeks later headlining (with Vietnam). They're fucking brilliant.

Its December 25th 1986, and Nikki Sixx is alone in his mansion, crouched naked under his Christmas tree with a needle in his arm, scribbling in his diary about watching his holiday spirit coagulate in a spoon. He writes, Merry Christmasits just you and me, diary. Welcome to my life.

This is just one scene from a particularly harrowing chapter in Motley Crue bassist and...

HATED Director Todd Phillips

GG Allin stands naked, facing a crowd of twitchy, New York University twentysomethings who wait nervously with bated breath for what the Murder Junkies frontman will do next. Its 1993 and Allin is about to begin his now-infamous spoken word performance that had him banned from stepping foot on campus grounds ever again. Writer and director Todd Phillips, then a junior in NYUs documentary program,...

Given his onstage predilections, no article about GG Allin is complete without the colon.

Placebo

Brian Molko, the always-engaging frontman of Placebo, has been around the world twice since SuicideGirls last checked in with him. Although Placebo has had a successful decade-long career in the UK and Europe, they've never managed a full-on conquest of America. This summer's Projekt Revolution tour, headlined by Linkin Park, might be the Trojan Horse that finally gets them through the gate. Did Placebo take...

Great interview, I got to see Placebo at Projekt Revolution this year- they were one of the reasons my boyfriend and I were willing to fork over the cash for PR. I found though that Toronto had a pretty strong fan base for them because they don't get up this way much smile Very cool interview, Brian's such an interesting guy.

Davey Havok of Blaqk Audio

For over five years AFI fans have gathered outside of venues and corralled on message boards and in chat rooms, whispering about whether or not Blaqk Audio, the long rumored side project courtesy of Davey Havok and Jade Puget, would ever come to fruition. Well, it has. And with the recent release of the bands debut CexCells, out August 14th on Interscope Records, fans can...
