There's certainly no shortage of evidence to suggest the Advancement of David Lee Roth and Van Halen–take Roth's recent stint as a radio host, or Eddie Van Halen replacing bassist Michael Anthony with his 15-year old-son, Wolfgang. Or Eddie Van Halen naming his child Wolfgang in the first place.
All that aside, this recent footage from [...]

Friends and colleagues have lamented that the Hosiery–the little warehouse/artspace north of Chinatown–is the ultimate hipster venue. In other words, go there and be prepared to feel uncool because you can't grow a beard properly, ain't rocking the right references, or kickin' the right thrift-store gear.
Last Saturday's show at the Hosiery proved the haters wrong.

The other day, I beat a few thousand spry college kids to stand at the front of the stage at the Charlottesville, Va., Wilco show. Unfortunately, that was only the first leg of the general-admission triathlon. The second: Maintaining my position–and staying awake–during the monotonous opening act. Though there were times when I wanted [...]

Erykah Badu will be "hosting" the Howard University homecoming show at Liv Nightclub tonight, but it looks like much of the music will come from 9th Wonder (whose new album, The Dream Merchant Vol. 2, is reviewed in this week's City Paper); his protege, the Columbia, Md.-based DJ Cuzzin B; and the one-and-only Monie [...]

All of this coincided with an e-mail exchange I was having with a friend [...]

VH1 Crusty or VH1 Catatonic was replaying the 2007 Hip-Hop Honors last night, and only one image is burned into my brain: Busta Rhymes' fat ol' belly. Now, I'm not exactly lean. In fact, I'm only a few brownies or gyros away from having a similarly prodigious midsection. But I'm also not a rich rapper [...]

Clavius Productions (aka local avant-garde promoter/Svengali Scott Verrastro) is hosting its fourth annual Free Folk Phantasmagory festival–"an autumnal celebration of improvised psychedelia, noise and various folk forms"–October 20 – 22. The headliner, playing on the 22nd at Velvet Lounge, is none other than Damo Suzuki, onetime lead singer for those lords of Krautrock, Can.
Suzuki will [...]

Last month, I wrote a feature for a metal magazine about Witchcraft, a Swedish band that is playing the Black Cat this Sunday. One of the folks I interviewed for the article, which has yet to run, was Lee Dorrian, the owner of Witchcraft’s label, Rise Above, and the frontman of British doom act Cathedral [...]
