Jiffy Marx (Jiffy Marx/Autogramm/Night Court)

She’s My Witch / Warning Sign

What are your top five albums that were released in 2021? (In order 1-5)

  1. Michael Beach - Dream Violence
  2. Smirk - LP
  3. Vacation - Existential Risks and Returns
  4. The Reflectors - Faster Action
  5. Screamers - Demo Hollywood 1977

What band did you discover in 2021 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?

-

How will you remember 2021? (In terms of music)

Probably by the music that my bands released: Autogramm’s No Rules and Night Court's Nervous Birds! One.

What can we look forward to from you in 2022?

Autogramm will be playing at least few shows in 2022, our first ones since the pandemic. Three shows in Southern California in February with The Reflectors and Hayley and the Crushers, and a week in March with our homies SPELLS. Night Court’s Nervous Birds! Too will be released hopefully in early ‘22 again by Snappy Little Numbers and Debt Offensive Records. And who knows, I’ve got more Jiffy Marx stuff recorded so maybe it’ll see the light of day too..!?

What records are you looking forward to most in 2022?

Michael Beach told me that Goner will be rereleasing his 2017 album Gravity/Repulsion so hopefully that happens sooner than later.. Oh, wait, I just looked it up and it comes out this Friday!! So i guess it should be on my 2021 list?!

 

What went through your head the first time you played live in 2021 after the delay? (If you haven’t -- what do you anticipate when you hit that point?)

Just stoked that covid didn’t totally kill live music!
