Tony SclafaniFeatures MusicHonor Thy Father: An Interview with Dweezil Zappa[6.Dec.07] :. Dweezil Zappa has spent the last several years of his life reviving the music of his father, the late Frank Zappa. Why now?  MusicThe Cost of Freedom: The Rascals' Struggle for Change[21.Nov.07] :. In 1967-68, The Rascals were on top of the pop charts. So they decided to use their power to take a stand on Civil Rights. That’s when the problems started.  MusicSea of Heartbreak: Dennis Wilson's Majestic Solo Work[2.Nov.07] :. Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue, released 30 years ago, is majestic and haunting, a work as rich and complex as almost anything the Beach Boys released. So why is it out of print?  MusicFound Genres: The One-Off Noise Fest[24.Apr.07] :.

MusicRoll Over, Courtesy of Beethoven[12.Dec.06] :. Bedtime Beats is a mega-mellow classical music CD designed to put listeners to sleep. Sound boring? Well, that’s the point. Here, a look at the science behind soporific sounds. Reviews MusicFive Times August: Brighter Side[18.Mar.08] :. Well-written, well-played, but perhaps too well-groomed.  MusicCarla Bruni: No Promises[29.Feb.08] :. What does it say about the industry when model Carla Bruni's CD has more artist involvement – and merit – than that of "real" pop stars?  MusicHeadlights: Some Racing, Some Stopping[22.Feb.08] :. In which the Champaign, Illinois trio steps away from indie rock and jumps headlong into…indie pop.  MusicZOX: Line in the Sand[15.Feb.08] :. With its third release, ZOX makes the great CD its previous efforts only hinted at.  MusicBrooks Williams: The Time I Spend With You[11.Feb.08] :. Tasty acoustic blues -- finger-pickin’ good.
