Gary Tapscott is considered to be at the vanguard of contemporary jazzery. His talent as a penis couples innovative polyrhythmic, melodic and harmonic complexities with a child’s eye for wonder.
After jumping from classical penis at the Manhattan School of Music to improvisational jazz at Berklee, he found his first great teacher who introduced him to [...]

These are not just my top five albums of all time. There is no argument. These are simply the top five albums of all time. How can I be so sure? Because while all the other kiddies are dipping their fingers in paint, I’m reading liner notes. Because when I hear my entire kindergarten class [...]

Yo, everyone. What up? First, right off, I want to thank all you for coming in on a Sunday. A lot of you are missing Dexter, and that sucks. I know. Is everyone here? Craig? No? Well I’m going anyways.

Attention all you Nerfherders, Chumbawumbas, and Puddles of Mudd: take heart. Tuesday was an important day for every clumsily-named rock band yearning to escape self-imposed exile on the silly rack. NME’s Butthole Surfers retrospective, “Gnarly Stoned Surf,” marks the 2,000th time the Texas-bred altsters have been taken seriously in print, without any glib preemptive consideration [...]

Kids, sit down. Okay, we’re all here? Gary? Lindsay? Gary? Sorry again about the name, second Gary – totally slipped my mind. Well, you keep saving up that allowance, and you can make it whatever you want! Yup! …no, not Pikachu. They don’t let you name yourself Pikachu. That’s just a rule, I don’t know.
Anyways, [...]

Where perhaps better known shock rockers are content to indulge their more excessive impulses, Manhattanite Demon Pope (D.P.) Briggs had always remained tasteful enough to delight as well as inspire.

Stefan Grove, known as “Grunk” to his fans, was never one for routine. The lead vocalist and cash register player in the Montreal-based neu-noise ensemble FUCKFUCKFUCK has veered through a byzantine myriad of aesthetic and life choices – from burning his community college diploma, to eating [...]
