Okay, so there’s a lot to unpack here, and not one of those things in a beach towel. And since I need that thing for hitchhiking, what’s packed is all worth staying home a bit. (Douglas Adams, look it up.) Elon Musk. Here’s a guy everybody loves to hate…to love. He truly is an enigma. […]

Count how many horror and apocalyptic movies started with scientists on a research mission finding something. Now add one. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is just such a group of scientists, and they just found something in the Gulf of Alaska that they can’t identify. So its deets: a ‘golden orb’ about four […]

In keeping up with the tradition of us not telling you first, but telling you better, yesterday, the corner of Ludlow and Rivington on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, was renamed “Beastie Boy Square. If you didn’t know, Ludlow and Rivington was the block featured on the album “Paul’s Boutique.” The city has a […]

Hitchhiking DAY ONE I wasn’t new to cities, I had learned how to survive in a couple of them, but Manhattan in 1982 would take everything I had learned from a year and a half of traveling and living on the street, chew it up, mix it with some depravation, cum and blood, spit it […]

Hello from Northern New York!!! We are Undefeated, a sibling rock band. Members include Meredith – main vocals and guitar (also known as the green haired lady who has a very interesting style that children seem to love), Christian – back up vocals (screams) and drummer (a.k.a. the ripped dude), and Lis (pronounced “lease”) who […]

For two hours every day, you strum lock step with a thunderous beat. Four strings saturate the room in low end while Cindy shreds arpeggios like a San Francisco bookie shreds betting slips. It’s rhythm and melody as two pythons body wrestling. It is glorious in the few seconds just before the garage door opens, […]

Most drummers will say that they got their start, hitting pots and pans in the kitchen.  After showing interest, we quickly move on to real drums, and traditional percussion instruments.  But Brian Melick is not most drummers.  In his nearly 60 years of playing, Brian is still, hitting everything from drums, to found objects and […]

April showers bring May flowers, along with clogged gutters, obliterated sidewalk chalk and free carwashes. This issue features performers Mystic Bowie, Melissa Ferrick, and legendary club owner Vinny Birbiglia.

Night Court Reboot NBC has brought something good to life on Peacock TV: a Night Court reboot. It’s just released it’s first couple of episodes, and I’m happy, but torn. When I was a boy and bread cost a penny cut in two, you didn’t need to finance a dozen eggs, and you could buy […]

Irish rock combines two very different feels in a beautiful way; the Celtic, Appalachian folk sound, with its roots in nature, and rock ‘n’ roll, with its roots in rebellion and overdrive. I like to identify and classify music, maybe you noticed, but only because when I hear a great thing, I want to absorb […]
