Bad Religion

October 22, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

Cool interview with Bad Religion frontman, and strangely erudite genius, Greg Graffin. Graffin also has a PhD in zoology from Cornell.   When he is not on stage, he teaches evolution at UCLA. Graffin is an atheist who doesn’t like to characterize himself as an atheist. “I bill myself as a naturalist because if you say [...]

Police Truck

Calling Klaatu

October 12, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

Linked to the Carpenters’ “Calling Occupants of Interstellar Craft” before, which is really one of my favorite songs. Didn’t realize it was a remake. This version might creep me out more, as I know Karen Carpenter’s story, but I know nothing about Klaatu, so it sounds even more cultish and weird. Secret Sun has the [...]

This is someone who went to church every Sunday even while touring with [...]

Jimi Hendrix & Science Fiction

September 9, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

This is cool: Most people don’t remember anymore, but rock legend Jimi Hendrix was a science fiction book junkie. We caught up with one the guitarist’s biographers to find out more about his science fiction bookshelf. In the new book, Becoming Jimi Hendrix: From Southern Crossroads to Psychedelic London, the Untold Story of a Musical [...]

St. Sanders

This guy’s songs bring me intense, spastic joy. The Rolling Stones one may be the best but it’s not embeddable.

Jeff Mangum

August 26, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

Jeff Mangum talks about “I love you Jesus Christ.” I was in a Merge band that toured with Neutral Milk Hotel once (“On Avery Island” tour). People I was with made fun of them because they were “awkward.” It was kind of a bummer, but I bought the record as soon as I got back. [...]
