The A.K.A.s finally win over the hearts of a Florida audience. Jen Cray congratulates the band on its success.

Listening to some middle-aged man talk about how f*cked up the world is isn’t exactly Jen Cray’s idea of a fun night out … unless the man in question is ex-Dead Kennedys vocalist/lyricist Jello Biafra.

Respected journalist Marc Spitz writes the first authorized look into the “turbulent life, times and music of Green Day.” Jen Cray reports on what she deems one of the most entertaining music biographies ever written.

Live At The Deaf Club (Manifesto). Review by Jen Cray.

Colonel J.D. Wilkes, frontman for Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers is perhaps the most captivating live performer in music today. Jen Cray spoke to Coronal about his musical influences, the rockabilly renaissance, and the Andy Griffith show before the band’s show in Winter Park, Florida.

If you’ve never seen Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers perform, try to imagine a hybrid of Jerry Lee Lewis, Iggy Pop, Jello Biafra, and Lux Interior. Jen Cray testifies.

East Bay Ray proves there is life after Jello for the Dead Kennedys. Vinnie Apicella gets it all.

Stupid, white and proud of it, Michael Moore looks at the state of our nation, and it ain’t pretty. James Mann takes the IQ test.

Another spanking new installment of Outsight - overflowing with the best in new and original music and… farming magazines.

Anton Warner delves into the “bad luck” 13th issue of the pop culture journal While You Were Sleeping, and ponders its unique “adultlescent” appeal.
