NOEL Puts the Hot in KILLERWATT

Always in Control, always prepared, NOEL dines alfresco on NYC's safe streets.

In New York City, you gotta grab your grub when and where opportunity arises. But things can get spicy at a street-side table. Three minutes prior to this photo being snapped, a psychotic individual burst out of Walgreens and began breaking ketchup bottles taken from this restaurant's outdoor seating area, over his own head! Unperturbed, NOEL at the Controls snapped into action, offering an alternative to the madman, now smothered in Heinz' best condiment. NOEL reached into his radio go-bag and pulled out a plastic squeeze bottle of KILLERWATT Kaliente, KLW's branded promotional hot sauce. "Here, use this instead," said NOEL. The maniac switched condiments without hesitation, only for an instant acknowledging the cushiony, "concussion-resistant" plastic bottle, "Thanks, man!" "I take it everywhere I travel, just in case," said Noel. Well, guess what? The madman moved on, relaxed, placid, peacefully. But upon reaching the next restaurant, trendy health food establishment "Bill's Big Beets," he squirted a healthy stream of KILLERWATT Kaliente on the heads of every diner seated outside. Hot sauce shampoo!

Skid Row SCOTTSO Survives

SCOTTSO poses in front of Scottso Records on San Pedro Street in the heart of Skid Row, Los Angeles.

From looking at him, you might not think this craggy old radio disc jockey is a good businessman, and you'd be right. In 2001, Retro SCOTTSO bought-out a famous record store chain. He couldn’t wait to slap his own moniker across the marquee on every store, coast to coast. And that’s when the music business fully collapsed. Did he drive the final nail into the coffin of record industry oblivion? Hmmm…. In the aftermath, SCOTTSO didn’t sell-out low. He just hung in there, resolute. Vinyl and CDs remained in fully stocked bins. A trip to SCOTTSO Records was like visiting a chain-museum of tangible rock and roll. Nothing changed, to this day. Except for the fact that your favorite Disc Jockey Emeritus passed away in 2004, when his estate liquidated the chain save for one location, SCOTTSO Records on San Pedro St., in the heart of Skid Row, Los Angeles.

Y
ou can still earn a free poster or bong, or a yellowy, faded issue of Melody Maker when your points card has enough hole punches.

But we digress...tonight, as an added bonus, you get a crisp, new Things From Indie. Click the player above.
