The Photography of Lux Interior
It’s of no surprise that Lux Interior of
The Cramps directed his artistic abilities towards other areas besides
music, mostly in the form of photography. Poison Ivy and Lux met in “art school” in
the early 1970s and fell into a chaotic and beautiful romance that
lasted up until Lux’s death in 2009. His photography almost always
included Ivy – his eternal muse – as the subject of his work, with his
provocative and fetishistic photographs of her used as Cramps album
covers throughout the years.
Perhaps even most interestingly was his interest in 3-D cameras and this insert from Asymptote Magazine from 1992 featuring 'Crosseyed Photos by Lux Interior'...

The Bug presents Killing Sound Chapter 3: Black Wax Attack
'Black Wax Attack is a testament to the boom boom crack of my favourite bashy riddims. Its a journey through my treasured 7” vinyl collection as a self-confessed bashment worshipper.- The Bug
I got magnetised by dancehall’s swagger and daggering, and converted to reggae’s post “Sleng Teng” mechanoid mutations by Steely & Clevie’s truly outstanding “Streetsweeper Riddim”. Prior to that Greensleeves label purchase, I had been a foolishly arrogant dub snob, and former post punk casualty/hip hop nerd/free jazz space cadet, who had stupidly dismissed ragga as a cheesy, plastic, bastard offspring of reggae. But once smitten by Burro Banton’s “Boom Wha Dis” and Capleton’s “Final Assassin”, there was no turning back. I fell heavily for the ghetto punk attitude, and rabid studio experimentation. I became a regular buyer/addict at Stonebridge Park and Harlesden’ s various hole in the wall reggae vinyl stores, and money/time waster at Notting Hill’s, now sadly, deceased “Dub Vendor” reggae record haven. I would run weekly to these stores to check the zillions of vocals dropped on the multitude of riddims in an attempt to locate the freshest shizzle. And it was def thru that dancehall conversion, that I begged to link up with Daddy Freddy via The Rootsman, and released my first filthy bash-collision “Politicians & Paedophiles” (subsequently released by AFX in 2002), and then quickly formed my own Killing Sound imprint, to atomise parties, Razor X Productions. So herein resides 2 hours of my chosen dancehall drugs. A tunnel visioned tribute mix to Jamaican bionics. A relentless selection of frenzied mechanical gyrations, mind-blowing vocal detonations, electronic rhythm deviations and addictive hip juice injections. An attempt to keep faith in the future of a genre which has felt stale since the vinyl market collapse and the pop-lite takeover by the autotune generation. But a genre I still follow avidly, and await the next generation of freakbeat visionaries and motormouth specialists.'

Flock of Dimes (aka Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner) with Thor & Friends (Peggy Ghorbani on marimba, Sarah "Goat" Gautier on marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, organ, voice, mellotron and piano and Harris on sundry percussion and wind instruments)
Earlier this year, my friend Thor sent me the results of his latest creative endeavor - a record from a band he was calling Thor and Friends. At the time, I was still knee-deep in my own record-making process, and was exhausted by the sound of my own voice. The record that Thor sent me became a constant presence in my life after that. I became so attached to it that I asked Thor if he and his aforementioned friends might be willing to spend some time with me, reimagining some of the songs on my forthcoming record. And so-lucky me-I got to spend a few days in Austin with these talented, kind, creative people, breathing new life into a group of songs that I had already lived with for years- Jenn Wasner

Adnate's Adam Goodes Doug Moran Portrait Prize entry has rich graffiti heritage
While it was so great to see Megan Seres take out top honours in the Moran Portrait Prize yesterday I've got to say that my favourite entrant would have been Adnate's portrait of Adam Goodes 'Be Brave'.If you are walking through the streets and laneways of Melbourne and you want to see more work by Matt may I suggest that you look around (and up)

I am love this work down at The Power Station in Collingwood as I think Adnate's portraits work so well in conjunction with Mayo's 'caligraffiti'. Video also features work by Askew, Guido and Rone
Also this work up at my local mall with Smug and Sofles...

WTF Podcast: David Crosby
David Crosby readily admits that he probably shouldn't be alive. Drug
addiction, alcoholism and health issues have taken their toll but have
not knocked David out. He's still making music and going out on tour,
but he had a little time to talk with Marc about The Byrds, CSN, Neil
Young, Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix, Woodstock, Altamont, Melissa
Etheridge, and much more
Thanks Stan
Thanks Stan
