So this just in: this is the 10th year of our charmed city's High Zero Festival, hosted by the Red Room, showcases all that is good and right and discomforting in music experimentation. I'm excited for Arrington de Dionyso, eccentric, Tuvan-throat-singing front-man of the jaw-dropping, intimidating well-spring of experimental ...

Whartscape 2008's Friday show was at the 2640 Space, a church undergoing renovation assisted by the Red Emma's collective. In exchange for their services, they get to hold events provided there is no alcohol sold/drunk on the premises...house of God and all.

For those of you who might have missed it, we did a series of small interviews (min-terviews) with notable ne'er-do-wells ...

Thank You are currently well-poised. SIgned to Thrill Jockey like Arbouretum, Pontiak and so many others, they recently released their J. Robbins-produced latest effort Terrible Two to warm reviews from all the typically curmudgeonly outlets (I'm looking at you Pitchfork).
