No Clutch Tonight

March 22, 2007

Previous ponderings prove pathetically pointless.
I suppose it’s safe to say there will not be a Clutch show anywhere near the D.C. area tonight. My previous statement: “Recher Theater doesn’t have a show on the 22nd,” has been struck down by the powers that be. Tonight, Stupid Hero, Hold Fast Young Pilot, Scarlet Ransom, and Miseuphoria [...]

March 4, 2007

OK so it’s not an album, it’s a book and a documentary. I speak of the latter.
It’s seriously goddamn awesome.
It is probably the closest anyone’s ever come to a very real, very serious, no-bullshit documentary on the hardcore scene, 1980-1986. It’s wall-to-wall great music, with lots of  extremely good interviews that are mercifully free of [...]
