Lydia Loveless on her new album: Indestructible Machine
by Sometimes bad habits, like drinking too much, can make you feel invincible and cause you to forget that you’re doing severe damage to yourself. Indestructible Machine was a poem I wrote with that in mind and it summed up the way I was feeling and tied all the songs together.
So, well, I made it the title of the record. The record to me sounds kind of like a drunken night, after all: it starts off with a bang, has some ups and downs, and ultimately ends in a song you can lie on the floor and cry to.

It seems like I always stumble across Joe Hill’s writing in a time of desperate need for something to read. Most recently was when I was on tour and searching up and down for a good bookstore. Just as I’d given up and decided no one reads in San Diego, we found a little indie bookstore and Horns jumped at me off one of the shelves. Read more
The Village Idiot in Maumee, Ohio
Seems like everywhere I go, someone says: ‘There’s nothinnngggg to dooo in Ohioooo’. Well, there is, kids. Now, I didn’t know there was anything to do in Maumee, Ohio. In fact, I’d never heard of it until I played at the Village Idiot there a few months ago and had one of the gooiest, chewiest, thin-crustiest, sausagiest pizzas I have ever had in my life. Read more
The Carper Family play O Brother live in Austin
I was lucky enough to play with these girls at the Empty Glass in Charleston, West Virginia, last month. Their songs truly make you want to cry in your beer, or dance in your cowboy boots, or sit on the porch and chew grass, or whatever people say about bluegrass. I’m pretty sure Melissa Carper could sing that Great Green Gobs of Greasy Grimey Gofer Guts song and the heartbreaking softness of her voice would still show through.

San Francisco-based illustrator Luke Feldman has just had his first children’s book published, Chaff n’ Skaffs: Mai and the Lost Moskivvy, a collaboration with writer Amanda Chin. The book artfully tells the story of Mai, ‘a young girl who never ventured too far from her home. When a lost mosquito interrupts Mai’s sleep, her friend Chaff suggests they escort Moskivvy back home to a faraway land. So begins a courageous girl’s voyage into a fantastic world’, all communicated beautifully through Feldman’s colorful, dynamic and considered illustrations. Read more
Tallest Man on Earth, the rasping Swedish folk singer-songwriter and one of the unsung heroes of 2008, recently recorded the beautiful song A Field of Birds, a nice adjunct to his summer album release, Shallow Grave. His sound is so loose and unmanicured, and carries a poignancy reminiscent of the rusty, early Bob Dylan.

Ok, so I’m wearing this sweater right now. How could I not. The damn thing shares the same name as me. Well, kinda. My parents threw in an ‘o’ into my name just to confuse the life out of people. But that’s a whole another story. The Zoltan is comfortable, soft, and colorful. It has ‘no fortune-telling capabilities’, but the ‘lightweight progressive color stripe scheme has an undeniably funky 70s vibe’. And it does. Yeeha. Now, where the hell is my bell bottoms and Grateful Dead vinyl?
