Magrudergrind Talks Screaming, Graffiti, and Smoking Crack
On Magrudergrind’s Crusher EP, there’s a track called “Heaviest Bombing” about writing graffiti.

Flock of Seagulls Promises New Wave Hooks and Big-Ass Hair at Grand Central on May 11
A Flock of Seagulls is remembered for two things. Some people fondly recall the Liverpool quartet for its 1982 single — and accompanying MTV mega-hit video — “I Ran (So Far Away),” as well as a steady string of other hazy, early-’80s Duran Duran-isms. But to the average North American…

DeLuna Festival 2012 Announces Lineup, Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters Headlining
Yesterday, CNN ran an interesting article about Southern stereotypes, “The South: Not all Bubbas and Banjos.” “The lower right-hand portion of the U.S. of A. is often pigeonholed as a tobacco-spittin’, Bible-thumpin’, gun-totin’ (and worse) backwater,” writes Todd Leopold. “So go ahead, fry up the buckwheat cakes, spoon out the…
