Kill Rock Stars Video Podcast
Summary: Kill Rock Stars is an independent record label founded in 1991 by Slim Moon and based in Olympia, WA. Originally intended to release spoken word seven inches under the "wordcore" moniker, it quickly expanded to become a punk rock rock and roll label thru the release of a compilation, some rock seven inches, and albums and EPs. The first bands "on" Kill Rock Stars included Unwound, Witchypoo, Bikini Kill, and Huggy Bear. Unlike all major labels and many indie labels, profit is not our primary motivation. Kill Rock Stars is dedicated to releasing high quality meaningful recordings in a manner that is fair and respectful to the artists. The system that makes rock stars wants us to believe that we have no choices except the handful they give us but they don't even bother to give us good choices, just lame ones. KRS just wants to give you some good stuff to listen to that actually means something to counteract the empty and boring stuff you see on TRL or whatever.

The Observer stares out from the cover of the CD -- not a mere subject. The photo on the cover is a continuation of the watercolour self-portrait series I began as teenager. The self-portraits continue thirty years later in photos -- most of which appear on Internet dating websites with my nickname Sexullectual, whose profile reads: ME: Not here for random sex or one night stands. I'm 5'3" 105 lb. Non-drinker. I have a sense of humour and a positive outlook. I don't have kids, pets or a car. Intending to establish an ongoing connection based on a mutual agreement, communication and respect. YOU: 100% SINGLE non-smoker, non-drinker (preferably), with a car. No drugs. 38 - 49. You live alone -- no children or teens that you are responsible for. Fit, slim, muscular -- not overweight. Employed. Out of previous relationship long enough to be feeling fine and not hooked on the hunt for the next conquest. If you happen to enjoy experimental qualities of literature, art and music -- so much the better. Attraction is Ephemeral was the last song we wrote. David played something I hadn't heard and I picked up a section of the writing I was working on about my Internet dates. We recorded it at rehearsal and didn't play it again until we were in the studio. After about six months of deception and lies I felt my intuition and trust were in upheaval. Everything guys said sounded like a line to get what they wanted. On This Video Podcast - Mecca Normal music video - Attraction is Ephemeral - Mecca Normal live in Olympia, Washington
The first thing that strikes you is the rhythm. The Gossip have been making punks dance since they debuted 5 years ago, long before dance punk existed. Soulful and jagged, you can hear everything from Dischord to Motown in Bracersquo;s playing. Now, with the addition of new drummer Hannah Blilie (Shoplifting, ex-Chromatics) they have a new thundering beat for the kids to dance to on the corners and in the clubs.
