Can't think of a better visual for where shoegaze lives in the '20s. Right alongside hardcore, and right under the hard-rock mainstream. I detail this odd cultural shift in my book, 'When the Sun Hits: The High-Volume History of Shoegaze.'

Reported on Live Nation's new 4,300-cap venue in Pittsburgh's Hill District, an historically Black neighborhood that was ravaged by racist redevelopment. Is the concert corporation's "prioritize Pittsburgh" motto in good faith?

Yes and no, sources say.

www.pghcitypaper.com Live Nation invested effort and dollars into connecting The Wylie with the Hill District. Was it... Beyond aesthetic touches, the venue has hired local staff and committed to funding neighborhood reinvestment.

One of my favorite exchanges in this interview is the part about Twitching Tongues' 'Disharmony,' and how Colin bounced back after that record (unfairly, imo) tanked upon its release.

Colin Young occupies a position in hardcore culture that nobody ever has. His podcast (HardLore), his bands (Twitching Tongues, God's Hate), and his taste (moshy, metallic) have helped transform the genre.

I talked to him about that and more for 1.5 hours
