...Busta and his Squad have clearly rehearsed this show many, many times over. It went without a single hitch, contrived little song interludes and all. People complained that he was being “pissy,” but who expects larger-than-life rappers to get on a stool and pour their hearts out in earnest? Dropping “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See” only to stop it two seconds in; making fun of the crowd for being “tired,” blazing through half a verse...
...anniversary celebration of British label Domino Records, whose first release was a Sebadoh album. Finding that their creative vibe was still there, they decided to tour, bringing along a boom box with cheaply recorded drum lines to fill out the combo. In concert, the boom box sits on a stool between the two sentient members of the band, and its tinny tones are a reminder of the band’s lo-fi roots...

These days, their worries often go beyond what medication to take. When Sosenko tells Richard Tea, 73, that he wants...
...middle of the day, and I'm in a large room in a warehouse district of Queens, N.Y., where I'm beating a pair of heavy sticks against animal skins. The skins are stretched like drumheads over the seats of a couple of old chairs, a stool and the odd bed frame. These "drums" are then suspended from a timbered support that fills most of the room. As everyone knows, pounding on stuff is fun, which may explain why all around me there are people banging their own chairs and bed frames, plus one or two security guards...
