Destroy All Movies!!! - Zack Carlson and Bryan Connolly will be signing copies of their new book, “Destroy All Movies!!!” The Complete Guide To Punks On Film, Sunday evening at La Luz de Jesus. The book features new interviews with “music/big screen luminaries” such as Ian MacKaye, Richard Hell, Penelope Spheeris, Nick Zedd, John Doe & Exene Cervenka, Alex Cox, Martha Coolidge, Lee Ving, Keith Morris, Mary Woronov, and others. Boasting “A-to-Z coverage of over 1100 feature films”, the tome is surely as entertaining as it is comprehensive. more ›

This weekend LA Weekly provided an A+ collection of speakers and performers. The only thing missing was you. Where were you? Seriously, you could have called.

I am loving this ATP-inspired idea of playing entire albums from beginning to end. Tonight we hit the Music Box to see The Melvins play Houdini and Mudhoney play Superfuzz Big Muff plus Early Singles. Sadly, we missed Flipper. We were late because I fell down the back steps as we rushed out the door. Bob wanted me to stay home and ice my foot, but no way was I missing this gig! We... more ›

The Fuck Yeah Fest IV has creeped upon Los Angeles like a wedgie at a water park.

On a Thursday night in Los Feliz, the dudes who throw on the Fuck Yeah Fest set aside an hour to sit on a stoop and have a lengthy, convoluted conversation with me. Despite the perpetual interruptions and digression, I arrived at a very straightforward conclusion.
