iniquitous \ih-NIK-wi-tuhs\, adjective: Characterized by injustice or wickedness; wicked; sinful. Iniquitous literally meant "unfair" in Latin, as its clear roots betray. Steak and Blowjob Day Celebrated on March 14th, Steak and Blowjob Day is a holiday for men, celebrated the month after Valentine's Day -- a holiday for women. The idea is simple: no cards, flowers, candy or other whimsical gifts. Ladies (and gay men), you simply bestow your partner with a steak and a blowjob. Not necessarily in that order. Jeff: "Hey Bob, what did Stacey get you for Steak and Blowjob Day?" Bob: "Well Jeff, that would be ...

An olde show review from two-thousand-ought-seven b y Matt Rogers: "The Black Keys? I ain't never met 'em. I ain't scared of 'em, though." When reminded that he had indeed met "those two white boys from Ohio," T-Model responded: "They play a different style of music. I'm playing the hard blues, and they can't play that. They play rock, and I don't like rock. They wants my style. Don't you think they don't now." And so four days after the much-hyped Black Keys blasted a sold-out Mercury Lounge, Fat Possum label-mates T-Model Ford ...

@ Facebook // interwebs // Buy via Scott // Bloodshot Records // iTunes // Amazon Scott H Biram's Bad Ingredients album is aptly titled. His most blues-based work, is also his most sonically dynamic and lyrically accomplished.  Demons seem loose-leashed, tempered, but no less vicious, no less snarling. Brother Biram's straight in control now and crackin' the whip. Scott's roots grow deep and strong and his guitar work is at it's best here, concise, muscular and nimble. His stomp-box sounds like its made of basalt and iron wood. Biram's trusty '59 Gibson hollowbody has always been a weapon  in his hands ...

“Music is the only thing in the world that makes me feel complete. I have to share that; I feel it’s what I was sent here to do.”   Defining creative musicians by genre is often a difficult task, but in the case of Rahe, it’s virtually impossible. And describing her as a singer/songwriter simply doesn’t do justice to an artist whose songs weave beautifully melodic lines with complex, compelling chord changes, soulfully powerful lyrics and a diaspora of world rhythms into a musical vision that is entirely her own. With a life story as colorful and ...
