Artist Spotlight: The Residents

November 20, 2016November 5, 2017 jimmyjamesmbdw

I think one of the most interesting things you’ll ever hear is someone picking up a guitar for the very first time and plucking out a few notes. There’s something pure about it; not knowing there are rules about which … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: The Residents

Artist Spotlight: Ween

June 8, 2016November 5, 2017 jimmyjamesmbdw

The history of Ween, long story short, is that two junior high school buddies started dicking around with a DAT, named themselves – in a fit of junior high school inspiration – after a combination of “wuss” and “penis,” and … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: Ween
