That’s Nat Voghlan from Transistor Transistor posed in the Danziggy alley mugshot by buddy Mikael Kennedy. Kennedy, who used to squat in the Royal Street closet of TT's Brad Wallace, snapped all the grainy, B&W photos for TT’s recent Erase All Name and Likeness (Level-Plane), a record our OTD bretheren reports is “some frantic, electrifying, pulverizing, evil-sounding shit.

1. Overzealous door dudes at the Middle East last night stole some of OTD's pens, for fear the Pitchfork nerds homie-ing out under BoSox hats would blog each others' eyes out. So the details about the Dizzee Rascal show might be a little sketchy. One thing we couldn't forget, though, is that when the grimey limey says Showtime, he means showtime: Dyl was onstage right at 10:15, bouncing around with his name on his shirt. -
More soon on last night's Rascality; in the meantime, photos and highlights over at Chris Lemon-Red.
You've seen Oliver Mak's stuff on the walls at Great Scott, and a few of you might've caught his Bangers N Mash night at ZuZu. This Friday night he's back at ZuZu for one-night-only crunktastica and grimeyness, now that Dizzee whet yr whistles. -
Closing time.
1. Above graphic is for real, for real: the boys down in the Square have brought the hardcore tee heat yet again. Available in limited quantities, only in Kenmore, only on game night. Thought I was gonna get the inside scoop last night on how Keith ended up coming out to "Mother," but somehow that story didn't quite get told. -

1. Go ahead and groan, but these kids have been around for a minute, and what with outsourcing and all, we always get patriotic-like when some fashionable American band capitalizes on all the hard work (and hard rock) that our Swedish bretheren have suffered through all these years. -
Killswitch Engage
1. John MacLean abducted by aliens! Made of tinfoil pie-plates! Who want to get to second base! And he's not exactly against the idea! Go here, and click on "video."
2. Killswitch on Kimmel?! Mmm-hmm. But will Mike D (no, not that Mike D) be back in time? Oddly, Kimmel site says show's airing last night, though band's peeps say tonight.

Decoded: "We're still Radiohead for pussies."
1. Drop by Nervous Acid and pick up the new Coldplay single. We liked the ringtone better.

Mary gets her Wednesday on.
The new M. Timony reminds us of that enormous crush we had on homegirl back in The Dirt of Luck days: she totally beat all these type people to the video-game indie-pop hustle with a little masterpiece called "Superball." New empeethree right here to get you stoked for her show tonight over at T. -
Balls deep.
Hellacopter-itis: the condition that results when Scandinavian band is finally, after years of genius, in the right place at the right time, with huge American label support, and delivers the most boring album of its career. (See "Grande Rock", also "Scandinavian Leather.") Then, just when you've got done apologizing for them, they return to genius -- too late, of course, for any of your friends to believe you. -
Guillotine a punk for rock n roll.
"This record makes our first record sound like our second record!" -- Bill Crash and Burn
True: having ditched the doom-metal/sludge-punk of Sick Again, they're back to the "Kill a Punk" days, and then some: immense, evil, brutal. The Guns N Roses album Black Flag never made?

In light of recent developments, we offer this recap of classic Road Steamage:
1. Dave Pino's Crank Yankers-style puppet show (all three open in Windows Media) that started it all.
2. "We don't need to practice. The Marvels . . . the Marvels need to practice."
3. When the strength of a thousand rhinos is almost, but not quite, enough . . .

Note to Rucker: if you're going to call your editor up all frantic, like, "30 dudes beat up the [insert trendy breakout band here] in front of [insert bar that everybody goes to here] last night," please let it turn out better than the bass player getting drunk and throwing a hissy. -
The Lyte Funky One deserved better than this. How come 98 Degrees ain't goin out like that? -
"We just got back from playing 36 straight nights in Europe."
"With the exchange rate, that's like 93 straight nights."
"Right, and along with bubonic plague we also brought back a case of really bad humor."
Best Music Poll '04 metal/hardcore winners and '05 nominees killed it at Harpers Ferry on Saturday. Bannon's for-self rant ramping up to "The Saddest Day" (video link) had even us cynical rock-crit bastards feeling all posi and righteous and shit. -
