No Trend had a great, loose-cannon drummer named Greg Miller, who came and went from the band several times from 1983 to 1986. At one point, a DC-area musician named Tom Payne replaced him. Payne played his one and only gig w/No Trend in 1984 and was faring poorly. Suddenly, Miller emerged onstage f...

Mugger—the dogfood-eating former Black Flag roadie, homeless teen runaway, and wild-ass vocalist in the delightfully tongue-in-cheek punk-meal band the Nig-Heist—is now some kinda millionaire investor, father, and Iron Man athlete living in a SoCal gated community. And the name of...that band alleg...

An obscure answer, but I dunno, maybe Honor Role during the period after (the much-missed) Bob Schick joined them but before Steve Schick quit? Bad Brains? From this list? The fuckin' Stooges. Meat Puppets up to and including the second LP. And perhaps Safari-era Breeders. Now I'm reminiscing about ...

Didn't Drunks With Guns also have a schism and formed two different bands that toured and released music under that name? Yes. But it gets deeper: As a fuck-you to the original singer, the guitarist and bassist hired a 12- or 13-year-old girl as their vocalist. Which was good for maybe half a laugh...

Local news in America is a mixed bag. Can't speak to apps b/c fuck news apps in general. The tech industry's style of monetizing online news has wrecked that across the board, it would seem. In terms of local papers, America still has some good ones. In the '70s, '80s, and '90s, the small, shitty to...

Local tv news in the morning and late. Online versions of relatively traditional sources (NYT, and a mix of visits to places like Al Jazeera, The Guardian, WaPo, The Atlantic, etc.), although the quality of these has decreased greatly in recent years. Used to get The Economist in the mail until rela...

Could we call Krautrock some kinda reductionist hypno-prog? More in terms of structure than the actual sound (which can get quite lush). As for rock bands boiled down to their essence, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks (one drum! one cymbal!) and Brick Layer Cake (tres stark) both spring to mind immediate...

Ennüi.

If we are talking 90s drummers, we should also include J Mascis for his work recording Green Mind and earlier on Bug from 1988. The drumming on Green Mind is great. I just wish the album were the equal of the three before it. But hey, wait, Murph didn't play on Bug? I always thought Mascis turned D...
