...made himself. Although Fleck is well versed in the traditional bluegrass music with which the banjo is associated, he is well known for his forays into other styles, including classical music and fusion jazz. “The banjo does well with so many genres because of its rhythmic and melodic capacities,” he said. “It has an earthiness and doesn’t really sound like anything else. However, it doesn’t just automatically work with anything you try. It has to be played with someone who really tries to listen...
...with Jim Jones serving as Dame’s proxy. Ironically enough, in the realm of rap, where Jay-Z is generally considered the king (his kingdom having—ahem—come), Jim Jones is a jester at best.

It’s other students’ failure to grasp basic laundry etiquette that frightens me time and time again. It seems that most undergrads had never handled a Tide bottle before arriving here in Cambridge; they exhibit the same blatant lack...
...probably know what scratching is—moving the record back and forth while the needle’s down—but it’s far more complex than you’d think. DJs with staggering rhythmic precision and hand control can master techniques with names like “chirps” and “flares” and “orbits” and “crabs...
