I had a really rough day at work. It was mentally draining. In fact, the last few weeks have been like that leading up to Christmas. It hasn't been easy with my anxiety and depression. Today, I felt very sad driving home from work that I almost cried in the car. Then I got home and my brother told me somebody at his work has...

Update: Brother went for test. He doesn't have it. That's a weight off his shoulders.
Just checking up to see how everybody is doing out there. This past week was Thanksgiving here in the States, and it was quite busy at the grocery store where I work. (Ok, it's a Whole Foods.) People were jackasses. It went all nutty for me, but I've had the past few days off, and that has chilled me out a little. I got to...

I'm sorry to hear about the crazy days at your store. Anyway it's good to hear you are fine. I hope you can start (and also finish) your book next year. I've been busy lately because my cats, but things are a little better and I hope to have free time to sit and write more to you soon :)
noiserocker1:
@felicity Well, thank you. Next year, I'll have no excuse not to start the book. Yeah, the store is still a bit nuts, but I had today off, so I spent it doing a few things for myself, which was nice. Are your cats ok? I hope you're doing alright, too.
Here's my interview with the lead singer of Portland, Oregon, "sad-core" band, Soft Kill. Great band. Enjoy the interview.

@gumballhead No, it doesn't. Haha.

I had really bad day at work. It was way busier than it normally was and we got slammed on the front end. It filled me with anxiety and a bit of fear, like maybe we're letting too many people into the store and we need to control that more. Just sick of dealing with the public. These people have a strange fascination with using...

Ugh!
Here is my interview with Fuzz, which is one of many Ty Segall projects. This one is for anybody who likes early 70's proto-metal. They rock. Unfortunately, didn't get to interview Ty, but their guitarist Charles did a great job with this. Enjoy.

@gumballhead Doing those "what does your name mean" interviews are terrible. It shows a lack of skill by the writer. You should always research the band you are interviewing so you can ask better questions. Internet should make it easier, sometimes it doesn't because some bands don't a have presence on here. But still you have to try, at the very least read the press releases you've gotten on the new album for some talking points. I'm not saying I always come up with great questions, but I always try. And I like Albini's production work, not the cult that surrounds him, or some of his views about what constitutes "selling out".
gumballhead:
I'm pretty harsh when it comes to what I like and what I don't. I've stopped talking about it, just so I don't get into arguements. It's cost me a lot in art jobs. That being said, I've watched the musical landscape change in such weird ways, and it's made me happy.
Here is my review of a new band from the Bay Area, that merges Hot Snakes-esque rock n roll with post hardcore. Enjoy.

Here's a review of the new album from Richmond, VA's Loud Night, who merge d-beat punk with the riffs and grime of Motorhead and Venom. Very cool and very metal. Enjoy.

NICE. I loved Ramming Speed! Good to hear more from the guysvin that band.
noiserocker1:
@gumballhead Yeah, their drummer contacted me to see if I still wrote and would like to write about his new band. Originally, I pitched this to New Noise, but it was already assigned, so I took it to this blog I sometimes write for in my home state. I usually do show preview interviews for them when some band I dig comes through, well, before all this. Though, my main focus is New Noise these days.
Here is my new interview with Greg Puciato, where he discusses his new solo album, among a bunch of other topics. Enjoy.
