“Lydia Lunch’s acerbic monologue in Scott Crary`s now-on-Netflix 2004 no-wave documentary Kill Your Idols chews up modern guitar music. She’s right — telecasters have been on the market since 1948, what’s left? We need to push forward with no wave’s intellectual concepts, vision and extremity. Don’t we?” A while ago I watched Kill Your Idols and couldn’t stand it. Then I wrote about why I think Lydia Lunch is a grump. Now you can read it in FFWD.

Total Abuse Prison Sweat Post Present Medium 2011 “Ignoring ambitions to grow as musicians, Total Abuse spend their third LP revelling in the mess they’ve thrown across the room, scolding listeners with a squall of faulty wiring and feedback stripped of hardcore’s please-the-kids sentiment….” My review at FFWD
