Dave Segal—Stranger music writer and Line Out blogger—has been writing about music since 1983. His stuff has appeared in Gale Research’s literary criticism series of reference books, Creem (when it was in decline), Alternative Press (when it was ascendant), XLR8R, Jazz Times, and a slew of alternative weekly newspapers scattered across America. He also DJs weird, obscure records under the name Veins. He probably won’t honor your requests.

    That ’70s Glow

    Alpine Static, the fifth album by Seattle rock instrumentalists Kinski, is fat, fuzzy, and fulgent. The band have ditched most of their space-rock elements (though diehards will surely fuel their rockets to "Passed Out on Your Lawn" and "Edge Set") and instead gone for a combustible, aggressive tack that'll inspire mass

    Rustbelt Rustics

    Blanche's If We Can't Trust the Doctors... is probably the greatest alt-country album ever to come out of Detroit. This work possesses the air of something built to last and resonate deeply in the hearts and minds of the genre's hardcore—and with people
