This is from right around the time I got into this very special band... the 'Mirage'/'Huevos' era, fried country-punk-ZZ Top-buttrock ridiculousness. Fascinating interview, but Curt's drawings are the best part!

Dunno. I mean, I've told it to people, but I'm not sure I've told it in a public forum. It's a good one. Makes me cackle. I heard it from one of the people Lynch leaned on the hardest on that film, the guy who tracked down the warehouse space in Northridge that Lynch rented as a "soundstage." (1/10)
Hey @drewmcweeny.com, have you ever told the story about Lynch getting accused of shooting a porn flick during the production of INLAND EMPIRE?

Fantastic interview, full of great insights
“You just get allergic to it, because the truth is there’s been this terrible trend for decades now of so many people writing in this disgusting, sentimental way saying what’s happening way too directly. “I’m sad because we never really talked…” Who the fuck says that, you know?”

I loved Some Velvet Sidewalk back in the 90s when they were a shambling punk band and now after a 30 year gap they're more a shambling version of Crazy Horse and I love that too. somevelvetsidewalk.bandcamp.com/album/critte...

How two punk icons are giving the Cramps a second life
