Yeeooow. Monk Montgomery’s “Fuselage (Parts I & 2)“. A lost fuzzy gem from 1971, Wes Montgomery’s brother, Monk, melds jazz, prog, soul and funk into some special kind of stew (a bass odyssey, indeed). The LP has been out of print forever, but you can still occasionally score a copy over at discogs and the [...]

“Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst [...]

“A kid who rats on another kid…is a dead kid!” – Ritchie White (Matt Dillon in Over The Edge, 1979) In terms of genre, when it comes to film, teenage rebellion/ennui is a veritable cottage industry. While it may go in and out of vogue, every decade seems to produce at least a couple of [...]

“I didn’t start to make a record. I just had no other options. I didn’t know what to do with my time. I started playing piano and out of the few things I had written down on scraps of paper started to record little songs in the basement thinking ‘well, I’m gonna get off my [...]
