Ray Paul
'Bloody Rubbish'
Kool Kat Musik
Ray Paul is the pope of power pop. And the Rochester garage rocker has a new record, "Bloody Rubbish." This album has tracks from a couple different decades, as well as some live tracks. Regardless, "Bloody Rubbish" is bloody rockin' --- like Cheap Trick's "In Color" era, or The Rembrandts. Paul and his crew hold fast to the harmonies as the songs take on a classic Mersey Beat aesthetic. It's neither retro nor redundant. Whether playing a classic from 1977 or a fresh debut, the band is cohesive. It's classic. It's fun, fun, fun.

Cover Story:
Ate days a weekIn each of our busy lives, we can all get a little bogged down in routine, forget to have fun with food culture, or forget to eat at all until we're raging. Bearing that in mind, our approach to this year's edition of DISH was to take it a day at a time — dividing the features, spotlights, and tips into the days of the week. read more ...
