View DJ Peter's profile |
Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

as an influence to girls and young women, it could be MUCH worse (madonna) but if i had a daughter i'd hope her to grow out of it quickly, and leave high school one day - as Swifty apparently never did!
