The website for Beyond Apollo continues to pick up accolades in the US and abroad. I’ve just been told that we’ve risen from number 18 to Number 7 in the design charts. Apparently, this is our first 2 week stint in the charts. It has also been chosen for user comments and ratings at the design bookmarking site, irie.be. This, in addition, to appearances on xhilarate, S5-style, spyline, QNT, RGB garden, and praktica. Thanks to Caspar and his extremely talented staff at Version Industries, the designers of the site. You can read more about the Beyond Apollo web going-on at their blog.
The new episode of Dirty Laundry is now up. Our guest this week is Mike Watt, formerly of the Minutemen, Firehose and most recently Iggy Pop and the Stooges. The Mike Watt interview is in four parts — the first two are posted this week. Thanks to Malia James, Maura Milan, Eric Pritchard, Niv Gat and Mark Galliano for a job well done. And thanks to Mike Watt for inviting us down to San Pedro and being such an awesome interview subject.
It’s been a long time coming - but the Dirty Laundry web series is finally up and running. Check out the interview with guitar hero-ine Marnie Stern, who is kicking off our first episode. Thanks a bunch to Malia James, who, in addition to hosting Dirty Laundry, is an accomplished photographer and bass player. Also thanks to Maura Milan and Matt Chavez for their camerawork. And editors extraordinaire Eric Pritchard and Matt Smith. Producers Niv Gat and Danny Young were a great help as was Mark Galliano. And finally, Aaron Thacker who created the site and the graphics for the show. Next week it’s Mike Watt and in coming weeks we’ve got Cursive, Crystal Antlers and, as they say, much much more.
Dirty Laundry, the web series I’ve been putting together, is going to be launching next week. In the meantime, below are some pics (courtesy of Malia James) of some of the artists who we’ve shot segments with.
