Pretty killer intvw with Metal Mike of Vom and rock writer-y fame.
Rockcritics.com is pretty killer. I’ll tell you what — 10 hour retrospective Roxy/Ferry podcast is the only thing of its kind.

Chloë Sevigny's 90s Throwback: Part Two - NOWNESS →
This is pretty bad but Kim Gordon-heavy and clearly induced by intake of Weekend-y Godard. It’s pretty bad but it reminds me of my early 90s and of X-Girl.
