Shootyz Groove (an aggressively zany rap rock band from da Bronx), reminds me of a frightening mash-up between " Big Pussy ," Bigfoot and a cigar-smoking Winnie the Pooh who constantly gets into jams involving broads, hotrods, hustlers and pimps named T-Bones and Tommy the Toe. Unsurprisingly, in interviews with Uncensored, the boys had many thoughts on the fascinating manners in which the worlds of food and music collide. Check out why their "whole dance thing"-you know that "dance shit"..."from big beats to trance"-is analogous to a giant buffet: [...]

We're going retro this week in every sense of the word. Per usual, we're rifling through our treasure trove of interviews to fish out a vintage gem–the better to explore the strange vortex in which fashion and musicians meet. But today we're entering a possibly vaguely ironic, definitely strange world in which Shootyz Groove is in charge. Hold me-I'm scared. Shootyz Groove is one of the most interesting products of the hip-hop/hardcore/metal fusion movement . And for that, they will always receive considerable props. Their hilarious approach to "maleness" may not win them as many fans, [...]

I've been making changes in my life lately just to see what happens. A few thoughts have occurred to me since I started trying to do things differently and one of those things is that it's tough to find things to do differently.

I'm sure eventually I'll get to the part where I try all different types of women, though [...]

In case you aren't chosen, we're coming up on the heels of the Jewish New Year. Unlike in other arty fields, like being a writer or comedian, rock music isn't a field known for its Jews. I mean, of course there's Bob Dylan, but a lot of rock stars are hiding their Judaism with stage names. Some rockin' Jews who you might have thought were goyim: Neil Diamond Paula Abdul Babydaddy of the Scissor Sisters (aka Scott Hoffman) Ike Turner Sammy Davis, Jr. Scott Ian of Anthrax [...]

Brilliant sticker placement in High Fidelity * reminded me last night of a band that I haven't spent much time thinking about since high school. Like pretty much everyone that went to high school in Connecticut in the mid-late 90's, I had a brief and ill-advised love affair with rap rock at that time: my beloved Rage Against the Machine provided a gateway into winding, seemingly never-ending couloirs stacked high with ill-advised guitar/emcee combinations. Still, not all of it was bad, and there are a few bands that I still remember fondly, when I have occasion to [...]
