KCRW Drop Halloran |
"It wasn't my decision and I can't really comment on their rationale, but I am very pleased with the work I've been able to do there for the last 15 years," Halloran says.

Original Bad Brains Return with New Release |
Produced by long time fan, Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, Build A Nation is a return to form for the band that helped define American Punk and Hardcore music. It also represents the first studio album, outside Beastie Boys albums, to be recorded at the Beastie Boys' Oscilloscope laboratories and studio compound in New York City. "This album started in my studio with primal, classic Bad Brains intentions," commented bassist Darryl Jenifer. "I told Adam I was thinking about a new Brains' record, then Adam said 'Word! You should let me produce that s***, son! I'll smoke those other cats that tried to produce y'all. I'll make you sound real!' I said 'Word!' And the rest is history," continued Jenifer. "Adam took it in a direction that captured the S/T vibe, but with an honest, modern touch." [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Tick, tick, tick. The Conundrum of Mentally Ill Time Bombs |
While I felt sorry for this man burdened with his ailment, my young colleagues and I were also amused by it. We found it funny; this "psycho" wandering around with tin foil beneath his cap repelling the phantom intrusions into his mind.
25 years later I'm haunted by Carl and my apathy regarding his plight. However, my excuse for my lack of action then is the same as it is today. I didn't have a clue what to do, nor did anyone up my chain of command. While I've gained knowledge, insight and considerable compassion for people, I am saddened by the fact that there are innumerable "Carls" roaming our communities. Lost souls, misunderstood and suffering from demons that the unaffiliated can't begin to fathom. [see full story for the rest of the editorial]- Click Here for the Full Story
