If the history of the saxophone's invention had a soundtrack, it certainly wouldn't be smooth jazz.  An inventor that just wouldn't quit, despite the world doing its best to stop him in his tracks.  Blunt force trauma, poisoning, drowning, viciously jeal.

In this edition of Album Autopsy, Try-All Andy joins us as we are collectively baffled by a supposed radical departure in musical genres.  An album not reviled, but hardly beloved... what happens when an artist endeavors to try something different, but d.

What do you get when you go on a quest for high-fidelity portable audio, but forget to bring the design sensibilities?  Neil Young's Toblerone Player... I mean, Pono Player.  Is that triangular prism in your pocket, or are you just pretending to hear the.
