VIDEO: Watch John Norris Interview John Maus
Fresh off revisiting the twilight zone tracks of last year’s We Must Become We Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves LP, we just stumbled upon this Noisevox interview between John Maus and former MTV staple John Norris.

THE END CAP: Five Recommended New Releases
Here are five new releases that stayed in our office rotation throughout the week:
Roni Size Working On New Reprazent Album, Touring in Late May
Roni Size has announced a brief tour of the U.S., including dates in Buffalo, New York, and Detroit’s Movement Electronic Music Festival.
