Had the amazing opportunity last night to attend the very brief reunion of one of my favorite all-time bands, Jawbox. Reforming to just play Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, we got to see them perform their classic “Savory.” During rehearsal they also played “FF=66″ and “68.” See all the performances embedded below and make sure [...]

5 Fast Questions for The Magic Fly Being a fan of The Magic Fly’s insane take on dub and downtempo, I just knew his Roll Call answers would be similarly tweaked, fun, unpredictable and generally out of control. I mean, the guy got his name from the esoteric outre French rock band Space. Rob didn’t disappoint, [...]

5 Fast Questions for The Herbaliser Scissorkick is honored to have the second ever Roll Call answered by none other than Ollie Teeba, one half of the long-time Ninja Tune group The Herbaliser.

Apologies on not posting for a while. Been busy with the birth of my newborn son Nicolas. Crazy late nights, unpredictable days, but it’s all amazing and he’s already been exposed to more good music than most adults I know. It’ll probably work out that he shuns all of his “dad’s music” like most kids, [...]

I will be updating the page there with news of new podcasts, special posts and events. And speaking of podcasts, I have a new ScissorKast and 4 brand-spanking new sessions [...]

As I tidy up my best of 2007 post, here’s some obnoxious self-promotion. It’s not like my door is being beaten down with interview requests, so when I get a chance to spiel I might as well post a link to it. http://detour-mag.com/assets/2008/01/08/meet-greet-scissorkick/
