Kellogg claimed that he had a singular gift as a performer. Unlike others, Kellogg said he did not whistle with his lips, but made the songs with his throat, just like a bird.

Kellogg, on the other hand, said he possessed the larynx of a bird, a “syrinx.” Needless to say, your friends at The World According to Sound find this anatomical claim dubious.

The love ran so deep he built an RV out of the trunk of a fallen redwood.

Prince was a devoted vegan, a fact that did not go unnoticed by PETA, the national animal rights organization. That group celebrated its 20th anniversary in 1999 with a pretty damn good gift -- a song about veganism, written, recorded and donated by Prince himself. To mark what would have been the musician's 58th birthday next week, PETA has released a free stream of the track, \"Animal Kingdom,\" on \u003ca href=\"http://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/prince_animal_kingdom.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">its website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a YouTube version featuring a lovely montage of animals, in case that's more your thing.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/VZtH9aZwMyM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/VZtH9aZwMyM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And in late ’70’s Los Angeles, the term “punk” threw a wide embrace that included the raw, edgy power of bands like Fear to the blues and rockabilly infusion of the Blasters to the Go-Go’s hooky power pop. The only rule was to be outside the mainstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pleasant Gehman, who refers to herself as “an aging punk rock lady,” was a fixture on the scene.

It just felt different than any other time in my life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fueled by all those yelling, primping, drinking people, bands and audiences were often interchangeable, something San Pedro’s Minutemen discovered when they first ventured north on the 110 freeway to investigate rumors of something happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s this scene up in Hollywood where people write their own songs.

And in late ’70’s Los Angeles, the term “punk” threw a wide embrace that included the raw, edgy power of bands like Fear to the blues and rockabilly infusion of the Blasters to the Go-Go’s hooky power pop.

Who would take it seriously? Especially when your previous musical projects include an album dedicated to 2012 presidential candidate Hermann Cain and a country group who only sings about drinking urine?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heidecker, who has been playing music longer than he’s been making funny videos, is in the thick of the fight at the moment. Rado Records has just released his solo record, \u003cem>In Glendale\u003c/em> — an album of “somewhat earnest” songs, according to his press release. There are few silly tracks on it (one is called “Cleaning up the Dog Sh*t”), but it’s mostly about his normal life in Glendale with his wife and daughter. Inspired by Ray Davies’ work with the Kinks, Heidecker thought he’d create his own musical documentaries on American life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I generally don’t have much to say about stuff in a non-comedic way, so when I do have something to say, I take advantage of it,” Heidecker explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This Thursday, Heidecker and his 10-piece band come to the Independent in San Francisco to play tracks from his new record, along with some old favorites from his other groups (let’s all hope they play the \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/heres-tim-heideckers-new-song-about-drinking-his-o-99622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yellow River Boys “Hot Piss.” \u003c/a>(NSFW)). Before he came town, I spoke with Heidecker over the phone about his long love affair with music and why he finally made an honest record (that still manages to be funny).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This interview was edited for length and clarity.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tPX06wJh4g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You grew up in Allentown, Penn.

There were two guys who ran this club who let 16-year-olds come and they didn’t have alcohol or anything, but they’d let everyone dance to Nirvana or the Cure or whatever was popular. And they’d have band nights, so we’d play there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was actually a lot of hardcore and punk music that I was never really into, and there was some serious white power-skinhead sh*t going on there that was really dicey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So there must’ve been some pretty intense situations?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah. In fact my friends and I wrote a letter about the skinhead problem that — I believe — was published in the local newspaper that was about how upset we were about the problems they were causing at shows.

Who would take it seriously? Especially when your previous musical projects include an album dedicated to 2012 presidential candidate Hermann Cain and a country group who only sings about drinking urine?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heidecker, who has been playing music longer than he’s been making funny videos, is in the thick of the fight at the moment. Rado Records has just released his solo record, \u003cem>In Glendale\u003c/em> — an album of “somewhat earnest” songs, according to his press release. There are few silly tracks on it (one is called “Cleaning up the Dog Sh*t”), but it’s mostly about his normal life in Glendale with his wife and daughter. Inspired by Ray Davies’ work with the Kinks, Heidecker thought he’d create his own musical documentaries on American life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I generally don’t have much to say about stuff in a non-comedic way, so when I do have something to say, I take advantage of it,” Heidecker explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This Thursday, Heidecker and his 10-piece band come to the Independent in San Francisco to play tracks from his new record, along with some old favorites from his other groups (let’s all hope they play the \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/heres-tim-heideckers-new-song-about-drinking-his-o-99622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yellow River Boys “Hot Piss.” \u003c/a>(NSFW)). Before he came town, I spoke with Heidecker over the phone about his long love affair with music and why he finally made an honest record (that still manages to be funny).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This interview was edited for length and clarity.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There were two guys who ran this club who let 16-year-olds come and they didn’t have alcohol or anything, but they’d let everyone dance to Nirvana or the Cure or whatever was popular. And they’d have band nights, so we’d play there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was actually a lot of hardcore and punk music that I was never really into, and there was some serious white power-skinhead sh*t going on there that was really dicey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So there must’ve been some pretty intense situations?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah.

While artists like Iamsu and G-Eazy are the among the latest Bay ambassadors to have gained mainstream attention, many exciting and relatively unknown MCs are heating up in the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This mixtape collects 13 songs showcasing some of the best of those emerging rappers from the Bay. As you’ll hear in the mix, a number of artists are finding ways to reinvent and develop upon established Bay Area styles and themes, from the hyphy sound pioneered by Mac Dre to the socially conscious and political MCing of The Coup and Hieroglyphics. Most impressive, however, is the way that so many emerging rappers defy any clear sub-categorization. Instead of being a “party rapper” or a “backpack rapper” — terms that now seem dated — most of the artists in this mix are developing personas that are both singular and dynamic.

As you’ll hear in the mix, a number of artists are finding ways to reinvent and develop upon established Bay Area styles and themes, from the hyphy sound pioneered by Mac Dre to the socially conscious and political MCing of The Coup and Hieroglyphics. Most impressive, however, is the way that so many emerging rappers defy any clear sub-categorization.
