...debut I Phantom is a momentous occasion. Having spent years building up a following in his native Boston releasing raw singles and playing awe-inspiring live shows, Lif was becoming increasingly hot property and was snatched up by the powerhouse underground label Definitive Jux. He released an EP on Def Jux this summer entitled Emergency Rations, an angry firestorm of an album that included on its lead single the lyrics “Headlines: Bush steals the presidency” and “Planes hit the towers and the Pentagon / Killing those the government wasn’t dependent...
...British space-rock-blues band has twice ducked the “difficult third album,” releasing an EP (Machismo) and an oddities album (Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline).

I had a really hard time trying to write over the summer when there were no concrete due dates—I would write a paragraph, obsess over revising it and making it perfect, then I would go watch TV or something. When I know I need a story done in a couple days, I’ll crank it out in a few sittings and not worry so much about perfecting every sentence. If I’m feeling uninspired, reading some published stories (by other authors...
