From 25 years ago, just about, here's my post-9/11 interview with Spiritualized's Jason Pierce for LAWeekly ahead of his band's appearance at the Wiltern, amidst some (misplaced) critical backlash against the 'Let It Come Down' album.

Forgot I ever did this: a feature published around the release of Olivia Tremor Control's "Black Foliage: Animation Music," based around a phone interview with the late Will Cullen Hart. Rest in peace, you crazy, tripping person.

Forgot about this Sunn O))) profile I did in 2003, talking w/both Greg Anderson and @stephenomalley74.bsky.social

Greg: “For the audience, it’s like a three-part experience. You see the band, you hear the band, and you _feel_ the band, too.”

Since we left L.A., Mandarette, Cole's, The Pantry, so many of my favorite places gone. Now #Taix.

We had a standing drinks night in the bar on Wednesdays, mostly ex-LAWeekly writers. Miss you guys (and my extra dry martini, rocks, olives).

The bar at Taix, 60s cocktail-era vibe, dark, slightly seedy, perfect.

Wayne Kramer was the central part of one of the best rock n roll shows I ever witnessed.
"Kramer is a dazzling goofball joy, soloing without looking at his guitar, mugging and preening like his name is Chuck Berry; he even camel walks at one point."

Although I was very good friends with lifelong Pere Ubu associate John Thompson (RIP) for several years in L.A., I only saw David Thomas (RIP) perform a single time, in 2000, with a reformed Pere Ubu. Utterly astonishing. Here's the too-brief review I wrote in the LAWeekly:
PERE UBU at the Knitting Factory, October 7, 2000 “One day I will be the best that you can do/and time will catch up to you/like it caught me too,” sighed/warned Pere Ubu bulbous guy David Thomas during a song midway through the pioneering “avant garage” Cleveland band’s recent Knitting Factory performance. Maybe time has caught up with ol’ Crocus Behemoth, as it has with the lonely-hearted oddball narrators of many of his recent songs, but from the opening pitch (the classic “30 Seconds Over Tokyo”) of Ubu’s 25th-anniversary set of artistic hits and total commercial misses, the ever-watchable Thomas was in command of the small stage like few other living rock & roll frontmen. Maybe it’s Thomas’ fantastic, utterly unique vocals — all growls, yeowls, bleats and warm warbling — or his large mass and dainty hands, his fingers carefully grasping vintage mike and silver flask . . . or perhaps it was his giant red apron, tattooed with pickup mics. In any case, he resembled an imposing supervisor in a Midwestern slaughterhouse: heavy, covered in dark stains, red-faced and wildly gesticulating, only occasionally satisfied with his department’s performance. Thomas needn’t have fretted so — the band was stupendous, with returning original Ubu guitarist Tom Herman especially deserving a laminated co-founder-of-the-month certificate for the staggering amount of inventive riffs, solos and sounds he summoned from his supermodified electro-acoustic guitar. If this was the best Pere Ubu can do after two and a half decades, well, it’s still more than enough. —Jay W. Babcock
