Some artists deal with the subject of mortality in delicate, reflective brushstrokes. OFF! bandleader Keith Morris confronts it roughly the same way a hungry pit bull meets a T-bone steak—with fang-gnashing ferocity. To wit: multiple compressed assaults from the band’s new sophomore salvo, Wasted Years (Vice). Because, at 58, the Circle Jerks/Black Flag vet (who still maintains a spin-off combo dubbed Flag) has faced his own frailties, overcome most of them, and simply accepted—then soldiered on—with the rest. Morris, guitarist Dimitri Coats, bassist Steven Shane McDonald and drummer Mario Rubalcaba will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new feature on them.
Rubalcaba: I had my first Potbelly experience when I lived in Chicago and they only had one store. They slowly started to franchise in Illinois and then outward thru the midwest. I love this spot. A great toasted sammie is gold to this gullet, and fuck Quizznos!!! Potbelly does it right!!!
I highly recommend the Italian or the tuna. Mmmmm … My dream is that they open up a location here in San Diego one day or that they see this here post and give me a lifetime pass to Potbelly heaven. Go check them out.
