My Fellow Americans, Life is actually just a microscopic, deluded moment in time, so let's cut to the freakin' chase. One look at our impending election debacle can solidify my case. It has been my contention since birth, that the answer to every difficulty we encounter on this sacred yet demented Stone, can be revealed with ultimate clarity through the ultra neurotic engagements of Music, Art, Literature, Film, Poetry and a good Pastrami sandwich. Why would any sane human spend so must time ...

Rock’s dramatic possibilities seem obvious, but have rarely been success…

Good ideas are elusive, and you never know when one is gonna smack you in the head - literally. Sometimes, when life is squeezing the juice out of you, and things are going off the rails, it takes a minor cataclysm to put things back into perspective. Then you can reset the whole narrative, and move forward. Christmas, 2019 was like that for me.…

Our artists today represent a very specific category within the folk music genre, which lately has come to be known as “Freak Folk”: one is a contemporary singer-songwriter, and the other is an “ancestral” group (when you consider they derived from the early 1970s, before there was even a category for it); one hails from the U.K., the other from Ca…

My sister-in-law, Lea died suddenly, but before th…

What we’re offering today is something completely different: two outlier artists (although one is a French icon) who created off-kilter, out of the box, almost unintelligible nuggets of artistic brilliance.

It seems as though the 12 bar blues structure is an immovable object, an obelisk of sacred, ritualistic, totemic authority. But the form contains multitudes of variety.

What is it about a swing rhythm that sets hearts a flutter? It’s a universal truth.
