Uncensored Interview is back!

Recently over at Uncensored Interview I did a piece about Los Angeles's fabled "Smell Scene." After naming a few bands you absolutely NEED to know, I was asked to expand it a bit for 10 Links a Day. Even taking this list from a slim five to an slightly heftier ten leaves a lot out of the diverse scene. - By Poingly

Today's 10 Links a Day: Bring on the Music


  1. HEALTH
    Health were the inspiration to write about the other bands in the first place. The noisy group have brought a lot of attention to the scene and the venue as their self-titled debut album was recorded inside the walls.



  2. No Age
    The only reason No Age didn't make it into the original post at Uncensored Interview was because they have been written about ad naseum. They are so synonymous with The Smell that their album Weirdo Rippers even had the venue and its marquee pictured on the front.


  3. Captain Ahab
    The laptop-mastering, Speedo-loving duo shove everything you love about pop music into a thirty minute set, yet still being indie as fuck. Bubblegum, pop punk, teenage angst...yeah, it's all there.


  4. ANAVAN
    Though often claiming to be from Ketchikan, Alaska, Anavan are true children of the Los Angeles undergound. With an energetic live show that often finds the drummer climbing the walls, the band have become one of the most underrated yet respected bands to frequent The Smell.


  5. Kevin Shields
    Though there are many noise bands in the LA scene, Kevin Shields represents one of the more interesting. Eva Aguila took the name of a person of the opposite gender to avoid being pigeonholed in a male-dominated genre. The fact that it happened to be named after the guy from My Bloody Valentine? Pure coincidence.


  6. Foot Village
    Between megaphones and four drum sets, Foot Village make a lot of noise. Forming an indie rock drum circle of sorts, the band mix their percussive feel with loud screaming.


  7. Mika Miko 
    One of the most glaring omissions from my previous list was Mika Miko. The punk rockers singing through a telephone receiver hit with a Riot Grrl aesthetic have a spunky live show that just screams fun.


  8. Clipd Beaks
    Clipd Beaks fit in with a band like Health. Perhaps not surprising as the two are both signed to New York based label, Lovepump. Yeah they're noisy, but not quite noise (like Kevin Shields).


  9. The Mae Shi
    Over the past couple years, The Mae Shi have been through a number of line-up changes and adjusted their sound accordingly. Settling into a more accessable sound recently, the band self-released their most recent record to many a headache.


  10. Abe Vigoda
    Once again, I will end this list with Abe vigoda. Signed to No Ager Dean Spunt's label, the punk boys charm is undeniable. Conveniently, they allow me to bookend this entry with another video from Uncensored Interview:

TripIt turns chaos into order by making it easy for anyone to: 1. Organize trip details into one master online itinerary -- even if arrangements are booked at multiple travel sites 2. Automatically include maps, directions and weather in their master itinerary 3. Have the option to book restaurants, theatre tickets, activities and more right from within the online itinerary 4.Safely access travel plans online, share them, check-in for flights, or print an itineraryTripIt takes the hassle out of travel itineraries.

    There should be an easy way for EVERYONE to share where they go, while on the go. Such a system would not be limited to use with fancy GPS-enabled mobile phones.

Calling all Indie Fans....

Today, Uncensored Interview takes over 10 Links a Day...   Welcome back from the long weekend. We missed you!

An indie lifestyle certainly isn't cheap. Shows, clothing, and booze all cost money, which leads to the inevitable day job and the sweet, sweet, much-needed paycheck. Fortunately, a lot of these jobs are often in an office. In between creating spreadsheets, sending faxes, and making copies, the business's internet provides an endless source of time-wasting opportunity. We at Uncensored Interview know how important perfecting those websurfing slacker instincts are to being truly indie. As a personal expert on the subject of slacking, I, Poingly, get to fill you in on some of my favorites.

Today’s 10 Links a Day: Indie kids goof off at work.

  1. Kittenwar!
    Cats are the most distracting thing on the internet. Kittenwar! pits these adorable lil' guys against each other by having you vote on which one is cuter. It's easy to get distracted for hours at a time just clicking on various pictures.

  2. LOLJohnMcCain
    If you think those on screen kittens at Kittenwar! might be tipping you boss off to the fact that you aren't working as hard as you could be, forgo icanhascheezeburger for LOLJohnMcCain. It's the same humor but with a political slant, and if you boss catches you just claim that you are keeping up on current events.

  3. Electoral-vote
    If LOLJohnMcCain wasn't an indication, I happen to be a political junkie (fortunately, I am not the only one). This site keeps track of daily polls to see who's leading state-by-state in the electoral vote count, and also includes news tidbits, historical data, and an animated over time map. As an added ironic bonus for indie kids, the site is run by a guy who doesn't even live in America.

  4. Retro Thing
    Praying upon a hipster's love of all things outdated, Retro Thing is trip through yesterday's future.

  5. Lasagna Cat
    Another cat site, more specifically featuring the famous orange feline Garfield. Make sure you've turned your computer speakers down for this one. The live action video reenactments of Garfield comics on this website could get you in trouble in an office if you turn it up too loud. Be fully prepared to keep your voice down too as each comic is then remixed into a LOLworthy music video, which is usually equal parts funny and disturbing.

  6. Despair.com
    Try comparing the posters on this website to the one's in your own office. Even better, buy one of the prints, make a switcheroo, and see if anyone notices the difference!

  7. Garfield Minus Garfield
    Not only another cat website but another Garfield one. Except this one isn't about cats at all; it's about the lack thereof. By removing Garfield from the legendary comic strip, Garfield Minus Garfield reveals the disturbing psyche of Jon Arbuckle. Oh, and just in case two Garfield links isn't enough for you: Have a bonus link of the comic translated with Google into Japanese and then back into English.

  8. The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks
    This one is for everyone "working" as a "writer." Given my own experience with various quotes and punctuation marks, I should probably just apologize to my editor now.

  9. Stuff White People Like
