Dino Felipe: No Fun Demo

Miami-based sound wizard Dino Felipe has made a lot of records-- more than 30 in the past decade, if you count his various groups and compilation appearances-- but very few of them sound alike. His primary M.O. is electronic noise, but he's also good ...

Patti Smith & Kevin Shields: The Coral Sea

At this point, it's almost redundant to note that Patti Smith was a poet before becoming a singer/songwriter. Her "transformation into a rock icon" (as Victor Bockris put it in his book Patti Smith: An Unauthorized Biography) came not at a rock show, ...
