There have been a few “supergroups” that came and went in the last few years, many formed from the remnants of the grunge generation looking to try out new sounds, such as Army Of Anyone (the members of Stone Temple Pilots headed by Richard Patrick of Filter), Audioslave (the members of Rage Against The Machine [...]

Soren Kierkegaard is the father of existentialism but also a badass hard to understand writer. Part of difficulty comes from the fact that the melancholy Dane is rarely read within the context of his profound Christian faith. It is a bit like trying to understand the music of Rage Against the Machine without admitting their [...]

Some artists are more than merely great. There are some artists that for a period of years, a period that is finite, consistently produced music that, it can be argued, far exceeded the work of their peers. For that brief period of time they were definitely Masters of the Form. "Yeah people come up." -- Rage Against the Machine, "People of the Sun" It's an unlikely invitation from...

Another mate's contribution to the decade's review: Manchester-born and Blue, Marc was there at the Hac/Madchester explosion and I met him shortly after at Leeds, where his tastes had got rockier and more global (the first tape he gave me had Rage Against the Machine on one side and MC Solaar on the other). During the 90s he spent significant periods in Spain, Portugal and Brazil becoming fluent

It might have taken a whole year for pundit Glenn Beck to start hating the families of 9/11 victims, but it took the rest of us about two minutes to start hating Glenn Beck. Who cares if he flip-flops on the issue of health care, hits on attractive female visitors to his show, calls President...

As Seattle now goes all-in for red-light cameras — we're putting up our 29th and 30th later this month — I can attest that living with one on a daily basis has changed my driving. Only not for the better.

I first heard Smile at the ripe age of 14, back when KDF was still 'the' rock station in Nashville. They had a nightly show, 'Top 9 at 9', er something like that, and for a few days in 1994, I think at the top of that list, was a track by Smile, 'Staring At The Sun'. Something about it grabbed me. It was new, dark, spacey (outer, not Kevin), huge. Different. Lemme back up a bit. At this point in time,...

Stumptown #1. Greg Rucka (writer), Matthew Southworth (art), Lee Loughridge (colors). Oni Press. $3.99 While trying to write this, my very first CSBG column, I hit a wall. And as I worked to break through that wall, I realized that it’s pretty easy (for me at least) to rage against the machine in regards to women [...]

Before I begin the onerous task of catching up with the posts left undone by a fortnight of tourism and hospitality (old friends, in NZ), I’d like to draw your attention to a most interesting piece by Naomi (No Logo) Klein in the current Rolling Stone. Titled Climate Rage, it’s a thorough examination of the [...] [Get the full story at Hot Topic...]

The trust-fund hippies across the street are having a party. There are guys with dreadlocks and large dogs patrolling the street on longboards, telling people not to park here--go park a couple streets over, where the school parking lot is open and free. I just got back from Large Chain Grocery Store, where I heard over the P.A. system: Tori Amos, Sugarland, Barry Manilow, and Rage Against The Machine....

The track that sums up the state of The Americas, late 2009. The USA's attitude towards Honduras is a blast out of the 1970's. Barack Obama, you make me want to puke. Play it loud.
