...able to squeeze into your schedule although you've seen Romeo Must Die three times already. Harper has the right look and sound to be a subterranean music hero (his sound mixes protest folk and feedback rock, and his hairdo is a cross between Bob Dylan's and Jimi Hendrix's). But his songcraft--which is sometimes more about edginess than hooks--has always looked better on paper than it sounds...
...tragicomic oxymoron. In addition to the paraphernalia collection--which resembles nothing so much as a college dorm room circa 1975--there are photos of such icons of the day as Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and Timothy Leary (twice!), as well as the shorter-lived Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix...
...Neither was it the high point of the evening, as Lit saved their vaudeville-style showmanship for the encore. As A. Jay lit a pair of mallets ablaze with lighter fluid and proceeded to play drums as he was singing, Jeremy whipped out his trusty vibrator and made like Hendrix with the device on full blast.

Multiplying zero by any positive integer still yields zero...
...office, a few check-cashing joints. You're just hanging now, seeing some of the Richmond, Va., streets that helped make Michael D'Angelo Archer who he is. D'Angelo recorded most of his new album in New York City, at Electric Lady Studios, the recording home of Jimi Hendrix. "I believe Jimi was there," says D'Angelo. "Jimi, Marvin Gaye, all the folks we were gravitating to. I believe they blessed the project." But Richmond is the turf the 25-year-old songwriter-producer draws from. Virginia is where D'Angelo's people--or "peeps" as he puts...
