When we recently chatted with Andrew Weatherall, he told us he based the lyrics for his debut solo album, A Pox on the Pioneers (released today), on noir films and Dashiell Hammett novels, then told us a story about a Naples mafia boss who was stabbed in the kidneys with knitting needles at a banquet. And it was hilarious! His classically morbid British sense of humor matches his epic moustache/suspenders. Weatherall, as you likely know already is an epic DJ, produced and or remixed people like Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Bjork, et al and is one half of Two Lone Swordsman. Perhaps as a companion piece to the excellent Pioneers, his FACT magazine mix is titled A Pox on the Influences, and you can hear how his meticulous songwriting, multi-dimensional production and fundamentally punk ethos have drawn from the tracks included.

Freeload: Amazing Baby Daytrotter Session
- story THE FADER
Down in the great Lollapalooza in the sky we call heaven, or SXSW, the lovely people at Daytrotter got the lovely people in Amazing Baby to record a couple of choice cuts. Amazing Baby is so punk. They might front like they are rock or cool but they are gnarly punk dudes in a punk band. This is them raw and unclean, literal/figurative. Guitar player had a fox tail on his belt when they played at our Austin space (which you can see above). We threw dirt at them. They liked it and asked for more. Actually they didn’t like it. And actually we didn’t really throw dirt.
