Podcast appearances and mentions of zachary lipez

We decided to make this episode of Nersey entirely free, just like an issue of VICE Magazine sitting in American Apparel circa 2006. Nersey is a podcast by Trey Smith, Drew Millard, and Slava P. We are produced by Steel Tipped Dove and our music is by Craig S. Jenkins. Our show is technically about music. We publish new episodes most weeks, plus blog posts sometimes. Free subscribers get to listen to the first half of each episode; paid subscribers get to listen to the whole thing, which includes our legendary “Joe Budden Podcast-Style Sleepers Section.” We're also on Patreon. Batten down the hatches and put on your raincoats, sailors, because we're headed straight into some damn unfavorable economic headwinds. By that, we mean that once again, VICE has laid a bunch of people off and is generally in trouble. As all you Music Man heads know, trouble starts with a T, which rhymes with P, and that stands for “podcast.” Our podcast. Which, today, is about VICE. We're joined by mega-genius Zachary Lipez of Creem Magazine to help us figure out what VICE was, because he was in the NYC scene back in the 2000s when the mag was really popping off; meanwhile, we were all dumb teens who would grow up to work at VICE in the 2010s. Other topics discussed include Zach's excellent piece on the downfall of music journalism, how bands used to take a bunch of money from cigarette brands, performatively not taking care of yourself, the lost art of talking s**t in incredibly low-stakes contexts, and also electroclash. Special thanks to Yuri for letting Drew record at his house and also informing us that VICE created a “virtual Lower East Side” in like 2007. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit nersey.substack.com/subscribe

"Warm and melodic" aren't exactly words the members of Publicist UK are used to hearing. Each of them has worked in some heavy, aggressive bands on the metal and hardcore scenes. But together, in this new underground supergroup, they have created urgent and moody music that revels in melody and massive, insistent choruses. And if it's not all warm and fuzzy, it is at least supportive: Publicist UK's debut album is called Forgive Yourself.  The band began as a long-distance experiment by underground rock all-stars Dave Witte (Municipal Waste, ex-Burnt by the Sun, Discordance Axis, Melt-Banana), Zachary Lipez (ex-Freshkills), Brett Bamberger (Revocation, ex-East of the Wall), and David Obuchowski (Goes Cube, Distant Correspondent). The group started recording in their homes in Virginia, New York, New Jersey, and Colorado then landed a record deal with Relapse Records, recording the full-length in New Hampshire. Hear the band perform a few of their new songs live in our studio. Setlist "Levitate the Pentagon" "Slow Dancing To This Bitter Earth" "Away" 

photo: Morten Fog There is one globally influential magazine that focuses on Americana and I was fortunate enough to speak with its editor. Hilary Saunders is the human tornado who wrestles No Depression to the presses every quarter, and she is a phenomenal human being. For Episode 75, we had an wide-ranging conversation about her journey to the editorship of No Depression, about life in New York City during these strange times we're living in, and about using guava jelly in hamantaschen. I enjoyed every minute of it. During the course of our conversation, she recommended the email newsletters of a couple of music journalists.

When Sam, a bartender in New York, hears that his ex, Vicki, his one true love, has quit AA and is out drinking again, he embarks on a quest to find her. Sam and his sidekick Francis trek from dive bars to gay bars to rocker bars—encountering skinheads, party promoters, underage drug dealers, and dominatrixes—but they are always one step behind Vicki. It begins to seem like 131 Different Things are keeping the lovers apart. Before the night is over, Sam will have to wrestle with what he is really looking for. Nick Zinner—who plays guitar in the three-time Grammy-nominated band Yeah Yeah Yeahs—provides the visual framework for this inventive novella with his intimate photography. Known for his essays and music writing for Noisey, Vice, and Penthouse, Zachary Lipez brings his pithy, multilayered, and self-deprecating voice to this debut work of fiction. The prose and photography are tied together in a playful taxonomic scheme by editor and art director Stacy Wakefield, the author of the novel The Sunshine Crust Baking Factory. The three artists have collaborated on four previous books, most recently Please Take Me Off the Guest List.

Oh boy. In this episode we hang out with the wonderful and kind Zachary Lipez, who has had words all over the internet in places like Hazlitt, Noisey, the revamped MySpace, The Talkhouse, and many others. Lipez is becoming one of the most well-enjoyed voices out there in the ones and zeros of music writing, and his background as former vocalist in the sadly defunct Freshkills informs that writing. We talk with Zack about how he ended up writing for Noisey, the art of criticism, Twitter activism, political correctness, Williamsburg then and now, the derogatory and unnecessary use of the word "hipster," his new musical project Publicist UK, and so much more. Zack is one of the brightest and best we know. Check him out. We know you'll dig him.

Is rock dead? This week on Arts & Seizures, Mike Edison and Judy McGuire invite Mishka Shubaly and Zachary Lipez into the studio. Both Mishka and Zachary are musicians (ex-Freshkills) and writers. Zachary writes for Noisey, and Mishka has authored several Kindle Singles, including the new Beat the Devil. Hear the cast talk about their glory days in rock ‘n’ roll, and why aging leads into a disinterest in rock music. Hear Zachary read one of his annual anniversary love poems! This program has been brought to you by Roberta’s. “A lot of people hold on to this notion that you can’t do art for anything for its own sake… If you want to be liked for it, then you are a careerist and you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.” [5:45] — Zachary Lipez on Arts & Seizures “It’s not that rock has died, it’s that I have grown up.” [19:15] — Mishka Shubaly on Arts & Seizures
