FOR THE RANDY
Holly Anderson, artist and lyricist who gave us the cover art and insert for Signals, Calls and Marches, as well as lyrics for Mica and songs throughout Consonant's self-titled release and the subsequent Love and Affliction, brings more art and song to the world on her latest project, New Randy, a collaboration with Lisa B. Burns. Consonant's Chris Brokaw appears on one of the tracks as well. Maybe it's just me but the F word keeps coming to mind...along with the obvious, I'm somewhere off in the fields/feeling/female/feminine/feminist/force-to-be-reckoned with that is New Randy, forgetting about the all the bugs in the dirt and how itchy crabgrass is. Pure pleasure.

INTERVIEW
WITH JON STRYMISH
An interview with Jon Strymish,
the photographer who brought us many of the best black and white photos
of Mission of Burma since the band's reunion, is the latest addition to
the site. "My great memory is my first Burma show. It was the first time
I ever got drunk. I fell asleep stretched out under the bar during the
Proletariat's opening set and awoke just as Burma was starting to play.
It's a moment I'll never forget." (Yes, Jon, that is the quote we picked
for the blurb and we are glad you remembered it). Read
the entire interview here.
