  • Halloween Hauntings: No Men’s “Stay Dumb” Music Video

    October 31, 2016 /

      Ripe for the season, Chicago-based punk band No Men’s music video for their single “Stay Dumb” is a welcome homage to the Italian giallo trash thriller films of the ’70s. Combining elements of excessively fun gore and blood-splatter with a mysterious serial killer that leaves your senses tingling until the very end, No Men succeed in painting a horrifically entertaining story in a terrifically smart and confident manner. With the use of bold reds and lurking shadows, No Men doesn’t shy away from mounting suspense and grisly death scenes. Turning the stereotypical damsel in distress trope on its head, femme-fronted vocalist and drummer Pursley  moves with swagger, denying any…

    October 27, 2016 /

      For those of us growing up as kids in the 80’s and 90’s, the mention of Nickelodeon brings back a flood of nostalgic memories, from tuning in past our bedtimes to gleefully indulge in SNICK’s late night shows, to having Clarissa explain life’s daily and confusing intricacies to immersing ourselves in Rocko and Heffer’s surreal world. But how did the rise and triumph of this network come to be? For a network that succeeded in touching so many generations and individuals, filmmakers’ Adam Sweeney and Scott Barber aim to explore and dig deep into the heart of Nickelodeon with interviews and stories straight from the mouths of those who…

    October 26, 2016 /

    Illustration by Sonia Margolin   The representation of black people in television, literature, and film has a direct correlation with black activism. These are powerful mediums that can reach wider audiences and convey unique points of view and narratives. There has been a lot of diminutive characterization and misrepresentation of black people. Many studies reveal that these stereotypes can be very harmful for viewers of all ages, especially to the self-esteem of children. There are many overused archetypes on television shows. The roles that are written for black people are very simple, one-dimensional characters with a specific trait or gimmick, often for comedic value. African Americans are rarely ever cast…

    Artwork by ANON Magazine’s Becky Bacsik    As much as nostalgic retro throwbacks to 60’s garage rock ‘n’ roll have become a theme, Mikey and the Drags pulls it off in the most sincere and gratifying way. Recording and mixing their last album, Make You Mine, with Steve Christensen, the band infuses garage rock and psychedelic influences with organs and kaleidoscopic and bright visuals, on top of bringing absolute vibrancy to their live shows. Making their mark in the Texas music scene, Mikey and the Drags have played lineups from Houston’s Shakin’ All Over: A 60’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Dance Party to the city’s own psychedelic music fest, End Hip…

    October 12, 2016 /

    Artist: Juliette Hayt ( Instagram ) Juliette Hayt is a painter, illustrator and writer based in New York City. Her art is extremely diaristic and draws inspiration from her feelings of anxiety, love, sadness, longing and abandonment. Hayt’s series for “Never Like Tuesdays” explores mental and emotional states through the use of the color yellow. Relating yellow to the universal color of happiness, Hayt’s paintings use yellow as a way for her to comprehend the definition of happiness. As a painter, she questions if it’s possible to impose a visceral reaction upon the view that suggests distress while using yellow, and using color to manipulate its meaning in a way…

    October 7, 2016 /

    Today is release day for Perpacity. Yes, that’s Perpacity – not capacity – though they indeed are fully capable in their realm of activity – we call it synthpop and it’s a fine offering insofar as that genre goes. Today we are pleased to present the full album stream of this album. There are just over a dozen tracks here, with the highlights for us being the two lead singles ‘9725’ and ‘Vain in a World’, as well as b-side ‘Eternal feat. Nordik Fire’, a folk-electronica tune sure to please any lovers of Mike Oldfield-tinged Celtic bliss.   Vocally Depeche Mode and Erasure, come to mind and sonically overall, Yaz…

  • Heaven or Hotel Vegas with Death Valley Girls

    October 7, 2016 /

      Death Valley Girls came to fruition in 2013 after frontwoman Bonnie Bloomgarden and guitarist Larry Schemel created their otherworldly vision of surfy doom rock, complete with astral visions that stemmed from Bloomgarden’s prior time spent at a mental institution and reading about alien conspiracy theories. Now a quartet, the band released their sophomore album Glow in the Dark in June of this year and have taken their hometown of Los Angeles by storm. Bloomgarden fervently stands by likens being in a band to being in a gang — “it’s a collective and we are all psychically linked and thus would defend each others’ honor ’til the death,” she states. Death…

      DEATH OF A PLAYWRIGHT Chapter One: Curtains Up. by Lee A. Whitelock   A thousand plundered blank pages before me; in awe of me. And I saw the taming of the quill, to the shrill of plot unfolding. I plundered, sure. I sacked a bounty of literary greats, libraries at my feet, dictionaries knee deep. Then why my hands tremble? Why my mind wanders? They say greatness hides behind corners, but will greatness lie till morning? Who’s to say? Tremble, again. Assemble, the pain. Remember-the-fame-would-never-remember-my-name! Three years since I meandered my way South; London, and the Great Writers Drought. Doubt- Whether I’ll drink again, plunder again, wonder again, wandering…

With courage in their hearts and a drive to share music with our country, they pressed on and played many shows around the United States. Accompanied by Axel Vanlerberghe, who documented all of their adventures through photos and video, they captured a very unique glance at the strange American ways of today. Here is a short documentary of the French medieval psychedelic band’s misadventures through the states.   [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8s29OHzawU[/embedyt] Website || Facebook || Instagram   Be sure to…
