Shuffle Songs, Vol. 2 — Happy Jew Year!
September 30, 2008 – 10:30 am
For those not “in the know,” it will be Rosh Hashanah, or “Jewish New Year” as it’s known to the Gentiles, until sundown tomorrow.
Since I don’t currently have the cash to serve the usual meal of BBQ beef brisket, roasted red potatoes, carrot tzimmes and challah that my family has historically partaken in to celebrate […]

What’s More Expensive, a Laser, Life, a Time Machine, Or a Panda?
May 19, 2008 – 10:52 am
The term “throwback Rap” has become something of a byword, associated with brightly-colored hipster fashion, tight pants, retro-futuristic graphic tees and a couple of oft-profiled rappers fond of drum-machine beats and synthesizers. Being a fan of 808 kicks and stuttery sampled vocal hooks myself I really don’t have any sort of beef with that. […]

Shuffle Songs
May 12, 2008 – 12:34 pm

How Can Someplace So Glamourous Be So Square?
April 21, 2008 – 11:04 am
Summer officially broke in my neck of the hood last week. The sun shone brightly, temperatures soared and I traded hoodies & Timbs in for shorts & Rod Laver’s. As soon as the mercury approached 80-degrees the other day I made it a point to hit up one of the neighborhood storefronts to pick up […]
