Plain and simple, Buzz Osborne and the Melvins just make me happy. I interviewed him once years ago, but this is far more substantive. I hope you'll read our wild conversation about kicking out bassists, throwing drummers for a loop, beating up drunks, Kurt Cobain, Matt Lukin,…

Put an ungodly amount of work into this: I interviewed a cross-section of Tom Waits' collaborators during his mid-period experimental years, when he was on Island Records — including Mark Ribot, Greg Cohen, Francis Thumm, Michael Blair, and many more. 🧵

I once overheard someone say that Turnstile is the only hardcore band that matters. I'm a fan, but I found that to be an indefensible position. So I rounded up 10 more acts (many in that "adjacent" space) that also push the boundaries in fascinating ways.

John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme: Live in Seattle is stupendous, but there’s more to the story than just Trane and his ensemble. Without the little-known figure Joe Brazil, it wouldn’t exist — and it’s time for him to get a moment in the spotlight.
