Osei Essed (of The Woes) [photo by Lippe]If you get a chance to talk with Osei Essed (frontman for the Brooklyn-based band The Woes) and you ask him to describe the band's wildly eclectic sound, the first words out of his mouth will probably sound something like this: "Post-Apocalyptic traditional music".

I've had trouble getting it to play in the car stereo (maybe the player needs a laser clean) but when I started ...
