The Morning Benders – Big Echo

Stoned, struggling against the harsh halogens in studio B, Chris Chu is hunched in a thick leather chair facing the computer. From my vantage point on the couch that’s now Nic Pope’s bed, all I can see is the top of his mop and from here he looks a lot like Doctor Claw-the villain from [...]

I Wish I Knew How To Dress Well

If I knew how to dress well in middle school, this would have been me at the dance. Which boy would I have been? Well, I would have been both, for two times the ass! If I knew how to dress well, I’d have been on the ladies like Barry White on a ham-scented [...]

Chi-City Soul 1908-1980

“The City of Chicago asked its Cultural Historian, Tim Samuelson, and the incredible Numero Group to create a 3 hour mix from the city’s earliest crude recordings on Edison cylinders through 1980 – just before the rise of Chicago’s house music scene.

5-4-3-2-1 MIDDLE EAST

Yours Truly sincerely hopes that Rohin Jones –lead singer and six string picker for Townsville Australia sextet, The Middle East– has a mended collar bone come April when he & his mates make the trek out to the desert for their stateside debut at this year’s Coachella Festival.
