Mea Culpa
Sorry, Toadies : Jeff pens an apology for getting his albums mixed up and waxes on FM radio, the music industry and the anxiety that goes with putting your opinion in print.

Toadies Is The Name Of A Great Track By The Minutemen And A Lousy Band From Texas
I spent a week with this waste of time and resources so you wouldn’t have to.

Drunks, Power Poles, and Salmon
A drunk driver knocks out Jeff's power and nearly derails a perfectly good edition of Stripwax about Kim Salmon and The Surrealists. Phew!

Menomena Means Nothing But Innovative Sound
They take the most seemingly incompatible textures and make them work together. They’ve created a sound that is truly their own, and sometimes, that sound is truly astonishing.

What’s It Gonna Be, M.I.A?
M.I.A.'s new elpee is a mess of electronic trash and poorly thought out politics. What exactly is she doing?

Melatonin Brothers
Once in awhile, an elpee is so opaque sounding to my ears that I like to re-imagine the tracks as a series of short avant-garde films, in an attempt to make it interesting.

Katzenjammer Charm Attack
They dress real, they look real nice, they have an elpee that’s as close to perfect as yer ever gonna hear. Norway’s Katzenjammer is about to conquer the known world.

Southern Frolic
What's a Southern Gothic? For The Constellations, it's a groove-heavy love letter to the city of Atlanta, and it's got Jeff floating down that hazy memory lane.

What the folk?
After steering clear of folk music for most of his adult life, Jeff finds folk quartet worth listening to.

Gitar cuts up the culture
At some point the guys in Gitar snapped. They decided to suck up the mass media pumped their way, rearrange it, and fling it back at the machine.

Against it!
To continue to label this band as “punk” is just plain false. Is a banana a hammer? Is Lady Gaga a linebacker? No and no.
