Feeling the Skold

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:30:19 GMT

Feeling the Skold: Tim Skold, for the uninitiated, was the mastermind behind Swedish rock & rollers Shotgun Messiah. That band released three awesome albums between 1989 and ’93, the third of which was the industrial-tinged, ahead of its time, Violent New Breed. That would prove to be a prophetic record, because soon afterwards Skold embarked on a very industrial solo career, and release a string of great albums.In between, Skold would be a member of KMFDM and Marilyn Manson for lengthy spells (he still occasionally plays “Anarchy,” a song that he wrote for KMFDM, but not tonight). But one always suspected that he’s happiest when he has full control of his music.His latest album under the Skold name, Seven Heads, dropped this year, though he only played the most recent single from it, “Rat King,” at the Whisky A Go Go on Sunday evening. The rest of the set was a blast though, spanning his solo career and a little bit more.There were lows, so l...

The family sleeps on wooden slats close to the floor, with no electricity or running water, and they bathe in public showers.“The most difficult part is finding food for my children,” said Hassan, 30, whose sons are 5 and 6 years old.Hassan sells water door to door, earning about $6 a day when things go well. His wheelbarrow’s been broken and he doesn’t have nearly $70 he needs...

SANTA CLARA — Monday marked the 49ers’ first practice in full pads at training camp, and it also brought Brock Purdy’s third session after back-to-back days to rest his surgically repaired arm. Here is how he and the three other quarterbacks fared:Brock PurdyArguably his best pass evoked memories of last season: He spotted Christian McCaffrey racing in one-on-one coverage against Fred Warner and completed a 30-yard dime. Next snap, Purdy threw to Elijah Mitchell, who got clothesline tackled by Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, and three scrums promptly broke out between the offense and defense.Purdy’s worst pass was intercepted by Dre Greenlaw, after it floated 20 yards (and short) of George Kittle. Purdy’s final pass (12-of-17) saw him connect with Deebo Samuel, while safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. came on a blitz.How has Purdy been in the huddle upon his return? “Same as it was before.
