Lufthansa, you have failed me

·

Four weeks ago I heard about the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull delaying and canceling flights across Europe, but I didn’t worry — I had plenty of time. And I was right, until I arrived in Munich and found my flight to Florence, Italy, delayed and eventually canceled because Eyjafjallajokull had struck again, leaving volcanic ash clouds throughout northern Europe.

Jip Jop - Bluebird 5.8.10

Local group Jip Jop reflects on influences, origins

·

A conglomeration of styles definable by an excess of genre titles, local late-night musical sensation Jip Jop features technically-versed musicians trained by the Jacobs School of Music and influenced by old-school cassettes. Frontman Ben Gershman holds it down with concise, percussive rapping, spitting words faster than a clicking bicycle gear, with seamless transitions to melodic singing smoother than syrup. Ryan Imboden on trumpet and Davis Jones on saxophone come together to form the horn section, while the rhythm section is composed of Bobby Wooten on the five-stringed bass and Matt Margeson on the kit. Ben Bolasny on keys applies years of classical and jazz expertise to pull the whole orchestration together for local bar appearances and house parties.
