In the past week I’ve attended performances by banda, honky tonk, mainstream jazz and folk artists. I also wrote a short essay about an indie-rock group and talked about a heartland rock band on an NPR affiliate. While it’s all of a piece to me, I’ve regularly employed Cut, a new album by Chicago’s Stirrup, as a proverbial palate cleanser. Cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm makes a Sonny Sharrock-esque racket in the unconventional power trio. It's the sort of room-clearing noise that's long appealed to me. Here’s correspondingly unpopular live footage.

I love E-40. The Bay Area rapper’s latest single ”Petty” tickles my ears.
