“There is nobody involved that I don’t trust”
– Slug of Atmosphere
There are striking simularities between the evolution of SuicideGirls and the career of underground rapper Sean Daley, better known as Slug from the Minneapolis hip-hop duo Atmosphere. Slug has been a supporter of SG for years, contributed his music to the Black Heart Retrospective and even name-drops the site in a song title on Atmosphere’s 2003 record Seven’s Travels. But there are also more subtle career links to be explored. Like Suicidegirls, Atmosphere are known for their punk-rock ethos and DIY approach to distribution. They have been touring for over a decade now; winning over heads and hearts one city at a time. It seems like Slug is finally reaping the fruit of his efforts.

“I’ll be real bold and blunt.”
– Travis Barker
I should admit this right off the bat: I’m not a huge fan of Travis Barkers music. The only work of his I’ve really gravitated to is The Transplants; I’m still spinning that disc ever since I interviewed Skinhead Rob nearly a year and a half ago. But Barkers new band +44 is good and a lot of fun. He’s teamed up with another former member of Blink 182, Mark Hoppus, as well as former Transplants touring guitarist Craig Fairbaugh and the lead guitarist of The Nervous Return, Shane Gallagher. I had a very open and honest conversation with Barker about the new band and his trials and travails with the paparazzi and various famous blondes.

“Tattooing doesn’t need to be dressed up as anything.”
– Chris O’Donnell
Chris O’Donnell doesn’t have the rock star swagger. He hasn’t learned the art diva shtick nor developed an eye-catching wardrobe. Yet he’s one of the most sought after tattoo artists in New York by serious collectors and celebrities alike. It’s his work that garners all the attention while the boy-next-door persona sits quietly in the background.
Named one of the best tattooers in NYC by Time Out Magazine, Chris has been needling clients since 1993, specializing in classic Americana, Japanese, and East Asian iconography.
