OFF!’s Cosmic Comeback
The man at the microphone is a sad wreck, slouched beneath a scruffy, colorless beard and filthy trucker’s cap, his stomach bulging beneath a loud Hawaiian shirt. His light blue slacks look like they date back to the Reagan era, and on the wall beside him is a collage of flying saucers, Bigfoot, Area 51, grain silos, pyramids, the Loch Ness Monster and other conspiracy obsessions. Then a sign lights up to announce: “On the Air.” It’s after midnight in Los Angeles as he leans over a laptop and says in a familiar, distinctive rasp: “Welcome back to another episode of Blowmind Show. I’m Keith, your host. My guest tonight is Jack Rogers. Jack was abducted and left with an implant in his leg.” The host is unrecognizable as Keith Morris, fiery dreadlocked singer for the hardcore supergroup OFF! ...

Krill Releasing Debut Album Alam No Hris on Vinyl for the First Time
Krill have announced a remastered 10th anniversary reissue of their debut album Alam No Hris. It’s out November 18 via Sipsman and the band’s Sren imprint. The reissue marks the album’s inaugural vinyl release. Check out the remastered version of “Solitaire” below. “Whenever I think about Alam No Hris—the repetitive, incoherent joy on display in many of the songs—I think of it as ‘ecstatic,’” vocalist and bassist Jonah Furman said in a statement. “The whole thing is like someone stammering to express themselves in a moment of overwhelming emotion. Ecstatic in the full sense, of standing outside of yourself.” In 2020, the members of Krill formed a new band called Knot and released their self-titled album.

Rashida Tlaib Calls for Congress to Create a New Streaming Royalty
Representative Rashida Tlaib, Democrat of Michigan, has announced that she will be proposing a Congressional Resolution to establish a new streaming royalty, according to Rolling Stone. The congresswoman sent a letter to her colleagues announcing the upcoming proposal, which aims to improve the economic circumstances that working musicians face throughout the United States. “While the music industry has experienced an economic revival with the success of streaming music services like Spotify and Apple Music, the current lack of regulation or codified streaming music royalty program has driven a race to the bottom,” Tlaib wrote in her letter, according to a press release. “Streaming music platforms’ payouts per stream are minuscule, and declining each year—leaving working musicians with lit...
