...classes with 1,000 kids a week in New York, and 100 on waiting lists each semester. Clients of his $185 courses--in which toddlers listen to, dance to and accompany songs with shakers, sticks and tambourines--include some high-profile artists like members of the bands Phish and Sonic Youth. Just last year Weinstone was duping homemade tapes of his songs out of his Brooklyn apartment (sales last year: 1,000). This year he has mass-produced his 160 songs on CDs, and through grass-roots sources--classes, a new website www.musicforaardvarks.com and local merchants who have asked...
...done, one of libraries, one of museums, and one of office spaces.The current exhibition space is tucked away within the Rose Art Museum, at Brandeis University. The Rose Art Museum is a haven for contemporary art in New England. A water fountain in the next room provides a constant sonic backdrop for the exhibit, which unfolds in a single room. We begin with Deichmanske Bibliothek Oslo III (2000), which, like three of the other photographs in the exhibit, is taken from Hšfers series on libraries. 80 of these pictures were exhibited recently in the Kunsthalle in Basel, Switzerlandthe...
...irritates me when boomers assume nobody is cutting good rock records anymore just because they haven't heard them, and I figure if I can sell my old man on recent overlooked albums of genius, he'll spread the word throughout his generation. After years of campaigning for Sonic Youth, I was inordinately proud when their opus Daydream Nation turned up on his CD rack. And when he reacted positively to indie-pop-riot grrrl bands like Cadallaca, I had to crow, father-like, to my friends...
...Relationship of Command, released on the rap group Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label, deftly combines punk ferocity with artful though sometimes inscrutable lyrics. Like heavyweight champs, the band works the head and the body and scores points in both areas. Drummer Steve Shelley of the underground rock band Sonic Youth met Christina Rosenvinge, a Spanish singer, while he was traveling in Europe. Frozen Pool, her debut for his label, Smells Like Records, boasts an elegant cool, with Rosenvinge's crisp vocals breezing along like winter winds over smooth snowdrifts. The listener, chilly but charmed, is carried away. --By Christopher John...
...jazz structure and wild experimentation. Though some criticize the band for often approaching the limits of meaning in their abstract wanderings, it is the incredible, seamless continuity between disparate elements that gives their music its real significance. Their real skill lies not simply in their abilty in weaving dense sonic tapestries or deftly reinterpreting Hendrix classics, but in the way that "Manic Depression" can suddenly but not joltingly come boiling out of a wash of throbbing bass, fuzzed out organ and clanging, uneasy percussion...
