...Enigma” Variations. A theme and fourteen variations, Elgar’s best-known large-scale work was dedicated to his friends “pictured within;” each variation is a portrayal of one of his close acquaintances.

These three musicians form the band “Fetish Fetish,” and as their name suggests, all of their songs have a common theme??bringing the bedroom to the stage. “The concept of the band is unlike other bands, where their songs are not only about sexual fetishes,” says Barron. “This band has songs that are only about sexual fetishes...
