Imagine you are 15 years old and your best friend—your only friend--betrays you, telling the police you are responsible for the yogurt shop murders, one of the worst crimes in Texas history. Imagine that the police take your former friend seriously & you spend time behind bars.

Alice Bag has spent nearly 50 years making music and creating space for women, Chicanas and people who have often been excluded from rock.
Born and raised in East Los Angeles, Alice became the frontwoman of The Bags in 1977, emerging from LA’s first punk wave. She became a teacher, author and archivist, maintaining the “Women in L.A. Punk” digital archive since 2004 and documenting her experiences in her memoir, “Violence Girl.”
On Sept. 9 at the Wiltern, the Alice Bag Band played its final show, opening for Bikini Kill. While that chapter is closing, Alice has several projects ahead, including a new record with Juanita & Juan and a punk operetta with Kathleen Hanna, Adele Bertei and Andrew Springer.
For Alice, community remains central as the resistance continues. “Shows are places where you can refuel and reaffirm your sense of community,” she says. “It’s gonna be a long fight, so we got to hang together and take time to renew our strength.”

At 95, William Shatner has formed a metal band, booked Riot Fest and begun recording with dozens of genre legends. These things happen.

We (@TheBandCracker) have nearly 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Largely because we were lucky and have had a few tracks somehow weave their way into the fabric of popular culture. Whether its recurrent radio play, random 90s playlists, algorithmic suggestions on streaming, and (probably the key driver)significant TV/Streaming/Movie placements (classic example 2 minutes of Low inPerks of a Wallflower). Over the last few years there has been a trend of private equity buying music catalogs. Much of the big stuff is gone or overvalued at this point, so now you have these lower tier private equity people or their brokers coming around and looking at catalogs like ours. Sometimes just for the hell of it I take the call. Invariably it's super low ball offer and I will respond with my fairly educated estimate of the net present value. It's usually 5-10x their opening offer. Friends If you had a few hits in the 90s do not sell your catalog without getting a real valuation from a neutral party. This does not include someone brokering the deal.
Nice Strong Arm at 29th St Ballroom slayed. their late 89s reign in Austin predates me joining the ranks of Emo’s dirtbag-adjacent Texas punks and it was crystal clear why they’re legends. Loved it

The thing that makes me a real sicko is that not only do I like America, I like Americans! I think Americans are actually super nice and good people, even when they have the dumbest fucking opinions I’ve ever heard.
