Speak Nonfiction, Bleed Nonfiction: Q and Not U Bring a...
I have always been a member of the music-and-politics-don’t-really-mix-because-no-one-cares-what-musicians-have-to-say-anyhow camp. Obviously, I can’t ignore the glaring exceptions to the rule. For instance, consider the reverence that Bob Marley and his music are still, in the present day, granted by the Jamaican populace. Yet with artists such as Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie often still serving
Localized: Victrola
Localized is a monthly showcase of local bands. This 8th of October, we bring you (although you clearly don’t deserve it) On Vibrato and Victrola. This would be a good time to mope over your last ineffectual and failed relationship or to pensively sip a beer and consider the hypothetical events following. As always, the

The Family that Skates Together Stays Together
I fell asleep to Schoolhouse Rocks the other night; Maybe Kim Bowerbank should get her son a copy so he can sit in front of the TV instead of annoying the neighbors with his damn skateboard. [Tyson]For those familiar with the Hanger 18/Marine Products ramp, it is now in the Bowerbank’s backyard (e-mail me for
Interlocking Puzzle Pieces: Jessica Something Jewish Join Together From the...
All the members of Jessica Something Jewish live in completely different areas of the state, so I can’t really sum up their location in one city. James Glines(vocals/beats) lives in Bountiful. I’ve known him as a singer/songwriter for a couple years and have frequented many open mics with the guy. When I finally got the
ANTiSEEN – October 2004
Wait! Wait before you go forming your political views based around your favorite kiddy punk band or Punkvoter.com and its brainless communist Hot Topic army. The least you can do to seem a tad bit intelligent would be to hear the other side of the story from a real punk band that has been around
Red Eyed Legends – October 2004
“We’re the red-eyed legends from the night before, the TV babies from the media war.” – The Germs. [Red Eyed Legends: “Red Eyed” doesn’t have a hypen, you grammar-purist assholes.] Frontman and living legend Chris Thomson, Red Eyed Legend that is, lives in Chicago, where he says “It’s all right, some days, but it’s a
Thunder and Lightning: A Late-Night Encounter with Modey Lemon
While Phil made a final comment, “If you like the Liars new record, then you will like our new stuff,” the three of them stepped out into the night. The door slammed shut and I was alone, quaking from the encounter. The storm raged outside. My mind began to deconstruct the events of the evening,
Flogging Molly
I was assigned to interview members of Flogging Molly. I was looking forward to it; particularly the part about talking to Matt Hensley, the accordion player. I’ve hung out with him before and he’s always been a real nice guy. For those who may be unaware, he also was a skateboarding legend. In the early
Bellydancing – October 2004
This months’ bellydancing column is about Tamar, the director of the Giza School in SLC. [Tamar]Middle Eastern dance or belly dance, is considered to be a derivative of some of the world’s oldest known dance forms. Middle Eastern or Oriental dance is a multi faceted art, and the term, belly dance, applies to several different
