"Alan Bishop has long been championed as a founding third of one of the underground’s greatest founts of experimental genre flexibility and unpredictability, Sun City Girls, which he formed with his brother Richard and the late Charles Goucher..."

New podcast episode.

The Bruce Loose memoir—entitled Forget It, You Wouldn't Understand Anyway: A Life in Flipper—is still coming out this year, but it's looking more like fall as opposed to spring or summer. The publisher will be Hozac Books. It was a decade in the making. I hope it's worth the wait...

Something that took me waaay longer to figure out than it should have: When transcribing interview audio on a Mac, you can open the audio file in Voice Memos, and it's so much easier than using iTunes because it has the little 15-second rewind button to backtrack.

Here's Joe Carducci's take on the late Bruce Loose of Flipper--not just in San Francisco, but during Loose's earlier trek to Portland, too. Includes a couple of excerpts from Loose's upcoming memoir (his collaboration with @leavinghashurt.bsky.social). A punk-freak sneak preview, so to speak...

The AI transcribed "Merzbow" as "marriage spouse."

Tim Mooney is far & above my favorite drummer, ever. (Apologies to Tiki Fulwood.) The algorithms nearly never favor a dork like me ("Like Roky? You'll love NOFX."), but once a decade they deliver. Three shots of what looks like Rozz Rezabek w/ 3x original Sleepers. Just kill me.

GREGORY EGO PHOTOS: Born to Loose. Bruce Loose with Flipper at the Lion's Lair in Denver, 3/31/2012...

Another Flipper/Bruce Loose photo question... I've seen this one credited to Claire Sutherland, who seems to have been based in or around Boston, but I can't find any info on her. Can anyone enlighten me? Is she still around?

A new podcast episode is available—an interview with Philip Peters of early 80s Palo Alto electronic/synth pop outfit Quiet Room. whocaresanywaysf.wordpress.com/2025/09/16/w...

This photograph of Flipper at the 9:30 Club (Washington, DC) doesn't have a photo credit, but it's too good just to be some rando's anonymous Wikipedia contribution. Any leads on who might have taken it? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipper...

R.I.P. Bruce “Loose” Calderwood, longtime Flipper vocalist and bassist. Calderwood fronted the San Francisco punks on all four of their studio albums beginning with 1980’s ‘Album – Generic Flipper,’ an LP with a heavy, plodding sound hugely influential to bands like Nirvana. Bruce Loose was 66.

After a prolonged struggle with life, Bruce "Loose" Calderwood of Flipper passed away from an apparent heart attack earlier this week at the age of 66.

Thank you to the great Mike Watt (!) for having me as a guest on the Watt from Pedro show today. We talk a lot about Michael Belfer/Sleepers/When Can I Fly? and a little about Who Cares Anyway. @wattfrompedro.bsky.social @headpress.com www.twfps.com/past-episode...

Finally caught up with this outstanding episode- turns out my first live experience with Caroliner Rainbow (playing the On Broadway with Tarantino and Leaf Yard on my 21st birthday) was Winant’s first as part of the band!
