A not so experimental experiment. No story as such, just something I wanted to draw to see if it works. Staying with the theme of yesterdays technology, the Casio F-91W sits upon his wrist. I used to have one of these, I'm going to get another. More like this may follow. Find of the week - Bob James, 'Take me to your Mardi Gras'

Class is in session. In a video flashback from 1986, Grandmaster Flash explains the craft of DJ‘ing and the origin of MC’ing while going to work on Bob James’s “Take Me To The Mardi Gras”.

Mark Zuckerberg: Owner of Facebook (and proud atheist Jew) Sure it's a small group and it was created, after all, "just for fun," but because Facebook doesn't proactively target the promotion of hatred and violence, these things happen. And before the JIDF evolved, these types of pages used to grow in a viral nature and would get hundreds, if not thousands of members. Sure, it will be removed,...

“I’m very much embedded in Hip Hop… everything I do has got that Hip Hop undercurrent to it. If I’m doing a Jazz tune it still has a Hip Hop aftertaste,” says Andy Brooks aka Testament, Homecut’s infectiously charismatic frontman. Despite it being a windy day on London’s Southbank, Testament is enthused as he [...]

If you told me even a year ago that I'd love a song by OK Go in 2010, I'd have to laugh in disbelief. But fuck me running, OK Go's new single, the aptly titled "WTF?" is actually really good. I'm feeling the subliminal funk and the quite ill bass frequencies rampaging throughout this track. The Bob James/"Take Me to the Mardi Gras" percussion and the shredding-near-the-headstock...

The decade now ending happens to have been my first spent as a jazz critic (I started in 1999). So the simplest way to encapsulate my view is just to point to some of the things I've done. My 2001 New York Times piece [pdf] on the resurgence of the Fender Rhodes — apart from my error in crediting Dave Grusin rather than Bob James for the theme from "Taxi" — stands up even better...
