"It's a song on the album with the same title that I wrote with a dear friend of mine named Joe Stark,"  says Marc Broussard about his recently released album, "Time is a Thief," It's a song about exactly that, time is gonna teach you lessons if you're not prepared to pay attention, it will force you to pay attention. I think, as a 42 year old man now, that sentiment is definitely much more fresh for me than ever before."



New Release Review - "The Front Room"

Of all the isms, ageism might be the most baffling. If we're lucky, we're all going to be old some day so discriminating against the elderly means we're only making things tougher for our future selves. It's like if white people knew they were going to turn black when they hit 65 yet continued to be racist. And yet, possibly because of its disconnect from race, gender or sexuality, ageism is the most acceptable and unquestioned form of prejudice, so much so that in our supposedly enlightened modern times we still get movies that mock the elderly for cheap laughs.

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites... 07/23/2026

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"




Wesley Pierre: "Catharsis"

Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
