Beauty After Bruises by Louise Distras
Introduction I first saw Louise about five years back and was so impressed I bought her "Street Revolution" EP and then made the faux-pas of talking to her backstage and not realising it was her at first. C'est La Vie.

Its Still "Ill"
By Brian Salkowski (I Originally wrote this in 2002) If hip hop was known for dramatic preambles, this would be it. Its December 2001, America was at war with Afghanistan following the September 11th Terrorist attacks. At this very same time, a brewing battle in the hip-hop world exploded after Queensbridge rapper Nasir “Nas” Jones released the scathing diss "Ether," aimed at Brooklyn's own Jay Z. The latter emcee was fresh off the release of his critically-acclaimed The Blueprint album, which was released on the very same date as the aforementioned attacks on the U.S. The album put up great numbers, selling 420,000 copies in its first week. It also became Hov's fourth consecutive album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart and its soulful production launched the careers of then-budding producers Just Blaze and Kanye West.

Seven CDs: A Progressive Review
APRIL 13, 2023 CLUB MTV PARTY TO GO, VOLUME ONE - Various Artists Interesting find, surely. I was drawn by Information Society and Tommy Boy records (due to their association to I.S.), being familiar with not only "Think" but their eponymous debut and a few other songs. "Turn This Mutha Out" and "Personal Jesus" were the two other recognizable tracks for me. It was cool to recognize a few other tracks, including "The Humpty Dance", which called to mind the scene in Nothing But Trouble. I was cleaning and then snuggling with our kitten, so I mostly just listened in the background. \m/, B']

Mutant Beatniks - "Mono"
I've done noise and experimental, avant-garde recordings, off and on, for about eighteen years. Curiously, I know very little about the genre; never been to a strictly noise "noise show," never put out an "official release", or lathe, played a gig, and only know most fellow noise and musique concrete artists through the internet forums and "tape trading." I hear things intermittently when I'm in the mood--mostly I listen to punk from thirty years ago.

PAAN MASALA
Once upon a time, in the bustling streets of Mumbai, there lived a young man named Rahul. He was a hardworking guy, who spent most of his days at the local paan shop, where he worked as a cashier. His job was to greet customers and take their orders for paan masala, a popular Indian snack that consisted of a betel leaf filled with a mixture of herbs, spices, and tobacco.
