Yesterday was a big day for New York's Kendra Morris as Wax Poetics Records released the soulful siren's second single, "If You Didn't Go" on 73 vinyl b/w "Spitting Teeth." Alongside the much anticipated single comes the gorgeous music video directed by Jacob Arden Mcclure which debuted on MTV Buzzworthy late yesterday! Check out MTV [...]
by Ilana Kaplan The New York underground scene is coming to Mercury Lounge tonight for one hell of a show. Friends, Julia Haltigan, Kendra Morris and MotherFeather will be gracing the stages with a show full of folk, soul and pop-cock rock. The show brings together these musical talents for Haltigan's birthday, which was yesterday. MotherFeather brings back the feel of PJ Harvey with the vocal styling of Karen O. With glitzy fashion and wild theatrics, lead singer Ann Courtney ...
Student grades are due tomorrow, but we went to church anyway - we had to sing, and anyway, after two years of semi-regular practice as a Unitarian Universalist, I have come to a place in my life where I find peace and solace in shared practice which starts and ends with love and service, togetherness and open-ended truths, and a shared commitment to social justice. Much of this is due to the particulars of our chosen worship setting. The UU church which we attend is in transition, with an interim minister who has my [...]

"I'm looking for something that'll…break through. You know?" James Woods' Max Renn yearns in David Cronenberg's 1983 cult classic Videodrome . Oh, how things have changed. In today's day and age, we've already drowned in media. It's swallowed us. We're nothing but a bubble amidst one infinite, engulfing abyss. Intimidated? You should be. With each passing second, you're losing opportunities to take advantage of a culture that's moving ahead and at an exhausting rate. You could very well be alone…left behind…abandoned. Terrified yet? Yes? Well, that's more like it. -Michael Roffman President/Editor-in-Chief

Once upon a time on a blog that I wrote for long ago, I introduced Seattle to a stand out young crooner from the big apple, Kendra Morris . She's out of the closet, where she once recorded her jams and has stepped up into the big time with a new self titled collection of soulful and heart-gripping tunes . You'll hear tinges of Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys and Erykah Badu mixed in with 60s soul; what comes out is purely and uniquely Kendra. - One might never expect such [...]
So in this post I'm wearing my musically-inclined fiction suit, The Rex Monday, to offer up another virtual mixtape of sorts. There's not much of a mix, per se-more like old-school tapes I'd pass around with friends, where songs play in order to convey a story or a psychic state. If you're of a certain age, you likely know exactly what I mean. Yeah, this is another blind stab in my attempt to deal with Mr. Skips and me parting ways. I'm not at a place where I can really write much about it. I know I'm going [...]
The Grammys are coming up two weeks from yesterday (assuming they don't get the old Writer's Strike axe), but since next week's is taken with Full Album week, we'll do a little Grammy preview this time. They get more wrong than they get right, but bitching about awards shows is even more fun than watching them. First up let's look at the Record of the Year nominees. Why Stronger isn't on that list is beyond me, but let's look at what is. D – Irreplaceable (Beyonce) [...]
What I See Becomes What I Need (01), 2007, Digital Art as Giclee Print, 153x203. Limited to a 5-print edition. Completed 121007. So I bought the latest Kanye West album, but only because of the scorching Takashi Murakami art. It hadn't occurred to me to even taken off the wrapper. (more...)
There Are Things God Cannot Take Back (01), 2007, Digital Art as Giclee Print, 153x203 My grandmother has been diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of bone cancer which has since spread into her lungs. The treatment options would likely kill her before destroying the cancer. She has six months, a year at best. I have no fucking idea how much of a mess I'm going to end up when she's gone. If I've seemed out of sorts over the past few weeks, this is my apology. [...]
