Trey Spruance: music producer, guitarist for Mr. Bungle and Secret Chiefs 3, and heir to the DuPont fortune.
We’re all familiar with the stereotypical “mad genius” that’s commonly depicted in movies and on television: A traumatic, life-altering freak occurrence sends a seemingly ordinary man over the edge and into seclusion. And upon emerging from isolation several months later, scraggly beard, unkempt hair, the smell of urine, ragged clothes and all... voila! The secret to the world’s energy problems. The final digit in pi. A three-cents-per-gallon substitute for gasoline. Pheremones. Time bombs. You know how the story goes.

 Shock Rock
Former L7 member and current Shocker frontlady, Jennifer Precious Finch, is ready to get Warped.
If you do a search for “Jennifer Precious Finch” on a little place often referred to as “the Internet,” you’d better clear some room in your schedule – you’ll have a lot to look through. And it’s no surprise, considering how busy The Shocker’s frontwoman has kept herself since breaking into music with L7 at only 18 years old. A former San Francisco resident, Precious spent a few years in the Haight/Fillmore area in the mid ‘80s, taking Visual Basic programming classes on some device called an “Amiga” at San Francisco State. Today, not only does she sing and play guitar for what can officially be called “the greatest band named after a disgusting four-finger, two-input sexual stimulation technique,” but she also runs her own web design company, hosts a site featuring some of her photography, and has joined the elite ranks of sleazy record company moguls as the proud owner of a brand new independent label, Little Pusher. The label’s first release: The Shocker’s debut, so subtly titled Up Your Ass Tray. (more)

 Dollar Binge 4
Working title: Dollar Binge 3 Part 2
Astute readers (provided I had any) would probably say after four of these columns, “Hey! That guy isn’t going down to Amoeba every two weeks to buy five new dollar discs! He sounds way too familiar with some of these shitty records he’s reviewing!” And, dear made-up fan in my daydream, you’d be right. What makes me qualified to write about the cast-off orphans of the music biz is that I’ve been taking them all in for about a dozen years now. Give me your poor, your tired, your cut-out and deleted, your un-recouped and written off, and let them rest upon the teeming shores of my cat-hair-strewn CD racks. Just think of me as Lady Liberty, only with a little less to offer in the copper tit department, and a lot more undiscovered music under my torch.
