Post Up! Videos To Go, Featuring Weezer, The Sea and Cake and Loquat
Just in time for my daydream needs.
Who The Helloween Is Little Tibia And The Fibias?
The actual band that performed Little Tibia and the Fibias’ most excellent “The Mummy” has yet to be identified.
Who Killed Amanda Palmer?
“It was so incredibly untrue to life and yet so perfectly exposing at the same time.”
Post Up! The Return Of Led Zep
They may be the finest rock band of not just the ’70s, but of all time. And like another UK rock legend My Bloody Valentine, they have finally decided to […]
Ask DJ Shadow Returns!
LONG BEFORE DJ Shadow became an electro-hop legend, he was answering questions online from scrubs like me. Where did you get the guitar riff for “High Noon?” Who the hell was Colonel Bagshot? Do you owe David Axelrod back pay? Then he got too busy to bother.
Autolux Gets Lost In Transit
I covered All Tomorrow’s Parties New York remotely from Los Angeles for Wired, because the My Bloody Valentine-powered package show was just that awesome. But for the last four years, […]
Mogwai Howls About Hawk, Bush
“I don’t know why CSI Miami likes us so much.”
Post Up! Batman and Captain America’s Ed Brubaker’s Brings the Ultraviolence
Some heavy Wired action on the way, Morphizm pals. First up, is a tight interview with Marvel and DC Comics scribe Ed Brubaker, the man tried to kill Captain America […]
Underwired! Comedy Pays Tribute to Visionary George Carlin
Welcome to Morphizm’s latest category, pals. I’ve been hired to spiel on the entertainment machine for Wired, who also retain me to spiel on music as well, which is where […]
Post Up! Colbert’s Musical May Suck
What is with Stephen Colbert and Toby Keith? Why does the one invite the other on his show, when he seems to be the type of unmitigated tool Colbert makes […]
Post Up: Covering The Cure
It’s been a busy weekend working for Wired. But the piece that I was most interested in didn’t get much play, so I figured I’d pimp it here as well. […]
9/11 Rewind: El-P’s Deep Space 9mm
El-P’s uncompromising poetry and stuttered beats are built only for those looking for the next level.
Post Up! Large Paranoia Collider!
Well, today is the day, my friends. The Large Hadron Collider goes online, and the greatest particle collisions on Earth will soon be studied by CERN scientists, or bring forth […]
The Beatles Say Goodbye To Television
Frost’s audience crowds the band at the ballad’s finale, as if they didn’t want to let The Beatles go.
Calexico’s Carried to Dust Takes Flight
This desert noir soundtracker stands out for a reason. Spinning sinister tales of border-blurring folk, rock and pop, Joey Burns and John Convertino’s brainchild has mastered the the sound America […]
Theresa Andersson, New Orleans’ Swedish Sonic Hummingbird
The Labor Day holiday was nice, but the post-holiday deluge is fearsome. And not just because a slew of my Metromix have rolled in, including this one from Swedish export […]
Post Up: Is Helen Mirren The Coolest Ex-Cokehead Alive?
My apologies, but I have been in love with Helen Mirren for years now. She’s beautiful, smart, sickly talented and outspoken. In other words, my kind of fantasy. So when […]
Post Up: Is “This Ain’t No Picnic” The Best Labor Tune Ever Made?
I never miss a chance to write something about The Minutemen, the greatest punk band ever to crawl out of Los Angeles. Maybe it’s the fact that D. Boon died […]
Post Up: A Short History of “When the Levee Breaks”
Good morning, sleepy heads. Welcome back to school. I’ve been here forever, writing like a fiend. Still failing. Anyway, a reminder for those of you who are newer to Morphizm. […]
Tussle’s Cream Cuts Taste Like…Mitchum?
I’ve had some mind trips on the San Francisco’s electro-whatever outfit Tussle lately. A spiel for Wired, a review for Metromix. I still haven’t been able to wrap my head […]
Post Up: No Doors Without Jim Morrison
Greetings, Morphizm pals. Sorry for the delayed communication. I celebrated my birthday over the weekend, and spent this morning suffering for it. But I did manage to clock some work […]
Post Up: Happy Birthday Compact Disc. Now Go Away!
I wrote this piece of half-assed homage for Wired on Sunday, but it was a hit far and wide. Maybe people are as sick of CDs as they are of […]
Post Up: Autolux Rox, De La Soul Jams
It’s been a busy weekend over at Wired, where I have tackled everything from dead icons to dead technology. I’ve also had a chance to float some stellar music into […]
Post Up: Metallica’s Puppets, Chemical’s Google, Fishing With Ween
I’ve been feeling like crap for days now, which means now is the time to talk about Metallica. I did just that for Wired over the weekend, and heckled the […]
