The most obvious reference point for Stumptown is the terrific 1974-1980 NBC drama The Rockford Files, where James Garner played a PI who found himself constantly taking cases among the scumbums of LA.

Whether said era is the early '90s indie film boom or the early 2010s scuzzy drama boom is hard to say — but the show's commitment to depicting people on the fringes of society makes it feel like a spiritual companion to the movies of Richard Linklater or the late, lamented FX drama Terriers.

Bad Thing is due out on 24 March on the band's own Haus of Pins label, and will be a sort of scuzzy, late night tumble through the girl-group harmonies, fuzzy guitars and observational lyrics that have come to define the band's style since they first kicked their way into our ears in 2012.

But the show's scuzzy tableau could easily stand in for gender dynamics in Hollywood or various areas of the American workplace, where part of securing or keeping a job might require enduring the sort of serial predation we've been hearing about in the last year in the accusations against Bill Cosby, Bill O'Reilly, the film producer Harvey Weinstein and the writer and director James Toback.

Sure, the show's laid-back, sunny vibe doesn't lend itself to a ton of conflict, but in its portrayal of a bummed-out surfer trying to navigate post-recession America with the help of an older (but not always wiser) guy he met at a down-on-its-luck fraternal order, it has the beautifully scuzzy feel of something that washed up on a beach, in the best way possible.

The actor, who is currently starring in his sixth season on Showtime's scuzzy dramedy Shameless, has a real talent for finding the best things about the very worst kind of people — from his Shameless character Frank (the kind of man whose children can set a clock by his disappointing them) to his Oscar-nominated Fargo performance as a man who has his wife kidnapped in order to collect on the ransom.

The presentation reminded me of the golden age of post-punk art in the New York City downtown scene of the 1970s and early '80s, where scuzzy art shows made themselves comfortable within architectural decay: for example, Collaborative Projects' seminal The Times Square Show, at an abandoned massage sex parlor in Times Square; The Real Estate Show, on the Lower East Side, which led to ABC No Rio; and, of course, Alanna Heiss's MoMA PS1.

But the investigation's vast and scuzzy details have inspired a related conversation about the crazy-making opacity of most college admissions: the sense that, when top schools say they take a "holistic" approach to who to let in, what they too often mean is that they will ignore mediocre academics in favor of the promise of a big donation from a wealthy family or the buzzy press of a celebrity student on campus or the preservation of the status quo.

Living in Baltimore, making tracks indebted to the bounce of local dance music, as well as vogue, rap, and other forms of pedal-to-the-medal music, he built up a collection of scuzzy, high energy tracks that put him in demand as both a producer and a DJ. He made tracks with both local stalwarts (TT the Artist) and internetty superstars (Lil B), bringing his left-of-center approach to familiar forms no matter what sort of track he was involved with.

|
And for a band that's primarily known as a crew of rowdy, scuzzy southern boys, the record has an unexpected emotional heft—the cheesy, pumped-in motorcycle sounds on "Ain't a Sin to Win" are counterbalanced by the gravitas of a song like "Lie Down," in which co-vocalist Jordan Smith lays it all on the line over a bed of reverb that verges way the hell away from whatever you'd expect a band with the name "Diarrhea Planet" to be able to do.

The day's music is stacked with can't-miss acts, from an indie-country showcase featuring Kevin Morby and Gold Star (11-2 PM, Bugsy's Cabaret at Flamingo), the swoon and swagger of buzz darling Cuco, Kweku Collins, and more (3-7:30, Mat Franco Theater at The Linq), and the new shape of pop with showcases from Ofelia K and OK GO.

However, this isn't to say that Fantasy Ride is a bad album. It actually offers a consistently sexy listen with enough minor triumphs – "Love Sex Magic", "Turntables" and the electro-scuzzy "Pucker Up" – to hold your attention. Ciara, meanwhile, is on a seductive form throughout. Ciara's Fantasy Ride deserves the benefit of the doubt.

For these reasons, I was looking forward to hearing White > Mice's latest release, Excreamantraintraveinanus. First things first: this > album sounds great. Somehow the crew at Machines with Magnets (Pawtucket, > Rhode Island) captured White Mice's scuzzy, fuzzy sound without sacrificing > any of the power or clarity that comes from the punishing volumes at which > they play. Equally impressive, however, are the songs showcased here.

He usually limits himself to shooting anyone whom he finds trespassing on his property, though also prone to destructive fits of rage; when angry, Fuzzy turns dark red, grows claws, and his teeth become sharp fangs. Fuzzy (according to Professor Utonium's research) belongs to a race of "Lumpkins"; he has three siblings (Furry, Fluffy, and Hairy), three nephews (Buzzy, Wuzzy, and Scuzzy), and several dozen cousins who closely resemble him.

In fact, maybe in this age of ultra-commodified music it would HAVE to take a more veteran, established act to represent OWS and Anonymous so as to avoid claims of false appropriation? You have to hand it to ATR though; "Black Flags" is a pretty great tune. I'd say it's one of their most accessible yet while retaining all that dark techno-punk scuzzy energy we know and love.

New Noise Designed by a Sadist is said to "bear all the hallmarks" of the band's heyday. The best examples are said to be "Equal Zero", whose "buzzing guitar hooks, swirling techno bleeps, and clattering beats" have been said to "could have sat" alongside the band's 1994 collaboration with The Prodigy, "Their Law", and "Wasted (Pt. 1)", whose "snarling vocals, industrial riffs, and scuzzy guitars" are reminiscent of John Lydon's electronica work.

He stayed in her lair until he, Scuzzy, Hack, and Slash were scared away by Nullzilla and met up with Bob. In later seasons, he stars as a war correspondent for Mainframe, and during his brief infection by Daemon becomes a televangelist. :In the episode Enzo The Smart, Enzo slows the "clock cycles" of all the sprites making them dumber than they actually are. Mike the TV was the only character not affected because, as Enzo noted, he could not get any dumber.

Their self-titled debut album was released in October 2010 in the UK through the band's own label Buzz Saw and distributed by Cadiz Music.

The album was released earlier in Japan in March 2010 through 51 records with different artwork and a demo bonus track, 'Stitch'.

Maeve McDermott of USA Today described the song as "dramatic and dark" and noted a sound comparable to works of R&B; artist The Weeknd. "Knew Better / Forever Boy" consists of two integrated songs, which last for a duration of 4:59. The first part of the song is the R&B; "Knew Better", which pairs Grande's distorted vocals with "pounding" synths.

Hull inadvertently gave the group their name when he introduced the song for the first time on his radio show as being sung by "The Scuzzy, No Good, Beat-Up, Bad Guys". Hull really meant it as a joke to humor his listeners, and the kids laughed and thought it was funny, so they adopted the name their idol had given them, but shortened it to "The Scuzzies", which was a very unusual group name for that time in music history, but Scuzzies fans seemed to approve of it.

His remote control ran away, so he cannot be turned off. He temporarily lived in Hexadecimal's lair when Bob left him with her in order to "cheer her up" after the events of Painted Windows. Mike keeps the secret that it is his fault the web creature was released into Mainframe - when he played an opera for Hexadecimal, a singer's high note shattered her mirror and allowed the creature to get her - and thus he is (indirectly) responsible for everything that happens after that. Mike apparently joined Scuzzy as her helper.

Lindsay Zoladz of New York Daily News wrote that the song is "just goofy enough to work". Amy Pettifer of The Quietus said the song is "scuzzy and repetitive with a danceable hook—but her voice is at its thinnest and the dynamics a little lacking. Despite all this, it does contain the great lyric, 'It's time to dance and turn this dark into something', which could be the album's epigram." Lee DeVito of Metro Times called it "a bit repetitive" but said it is probably his favorite track on the album.

However, the day they were supposed to perform, Meg convinced Jack that The White Stripes should continue and the band reunited. The White Stripes' second album, De Stijl (Dutch for "The Style"), was released on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label on June 20, 2000. Considered a cult classic and self-recorded on an 8-track analog tape in Jack's living room, De Stijl displays the simplicity of the band's blues and "scuzzy garage rock" fusion prior to their breakthrough success. The album title derives from the Dutch art movement of the same name;Eliscu, Jenny (February 15, 2001) "THE WHITE STRIPES".

The Barman noted that it has a "greasy appropriation of the blues" and his "distinctive drawl and scuzzy lead guitar". Sleazegrinder's reviewer declared that Jones "writes and plays every lick, every lyric from the bottom of his soul, you can always feel it when someone spills their guts, means every bit of it, when they've not only written some tunes, but lived 'em, too. [The album is] a full experience, not a random assortment of half written leftovers, like most releases we endure nowadays". On 7 August 2006 Jones issued an album, Immolation & Amelioration 1995–2005, which updated previously unfinished material from his back catalogue.

Six Finger Satellite attracted a significant underground following during the 1990s, and are today recognized for their somewhat prophetic fusion of electronic and post-punk music. In 2005, Jonathan Galkin remarked that "if a band came out today that sounded like Paranormalized, they'd be signed to a huge record deal, sight unseen." Similar bands that existed alongside 6FS in the 1990s included Trans Am, Brainiac, The V.S.S., and The Dismemberment Plan. J. Ryan, his brother John Ryan, and Dan St. Jacques—Guy Benoit would come into the fold later—formed the spazzy, scuzzy, garage band Von Ryan's Express, named after the 1965 Frank Sinatra movie.

Critic Ned Raggett called the album a "scuzzy masterpiece" that saw "Cave's now-demonic vocals in full roar while the rest of the players revamped rhythm & blues and funk into a blood-soaked exorcism." Julian Marszalek of The Quietus writes that "Junkyard still sounds as if it’s waiting for rock music to catch up with it," calling it "a high example of uncompromised music and art [...] that exists purely on its own terms." In October 2010, Junkyard was listed at No. 17 in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

The album is regarded as a standout for Surgery in terms of musicianship and unique compared to Amphetamine Reptile's catalog. Victor W. Valdivia of allmusic gave the album three out of five stars, noting that "with their bad-boy swagger, Surgery is really an early-'70s blues-rock band stuck out of their time, far more sleazy (à la the Rolling Stones and New York Dolls) than scuzzy (as all other Amphetamine Reptile artists, who seem more rooted in Richard Hell and Sonic Youth)." He went on to say "Sean McDonald's voice is the key weapon here, a raspy, gritty instrument devoid of any punk affectations. Coupled with the skillful guitar of John Leamy, it gives the EP a feel unlike any other Amphetamine Reptile release".

In his book Mean Deviation: Four Decades of Progressive Heavy Metal, Jeff Wagner wrote that Grand Declaration of War features "a variety of vocal shadings to match the multi-layered music", between "A Time to Die", described by Wagner as "one minute and forty-eight seconds of black calculus", "A Bloodsword and a Colder Sun" offering "squishy electronic groove, so close to trip-hop that it instantly became the album's most controversial track" and the "mesmerizing ten-minute sprawling landscape of doom" "Completion in Science of Agony". The album's "sonic clarity" was "a complete 180-degree turn" from the band's early "scuzzy 'necro' approach".Jeff Wagner, Steven Wilson: Mean Deviation: Four Decades of Progressive Heavy Metal.

Gordon Gibson formed The Tomorrowpeople in 1996 with his roommate Erich Scholz in Denton, TX while on a break from touring with Brutal Juice. Following a move to Dallas, the two hooked up with former New Bohemian guitarist Wes Martin who brought them into Steve Curry's SRC Studios in Garland, TX. Along with Brutal Juice drummer Ben Burt, the group—with Martin on bass—recorded a clutch of songs that would come to be known as Scuzzy Ports. Although never released, the eight-track demo soon attracted the attention of major labels on the West Coast. Enlisting the aid of recently departed Toadies guitarist Darrel Herbert and Chomsky keyboardist John Norris, Gibson and Scholz—who took the nom de rock "Jody Powerchurch"—quickly wrote enough songs for a set and played their first show at Club Dada in Dallas on November 18, 1996.

Noah from Idolator wrote wrote that the song is reminiscent of Whitney Houston's single "I'm Your Baby Tonight" (1990). Elliott references Katy Perry and her 2008 song "I Kissed a Girl" during one of the verses with the lyric, "Up in that club it's just me and my girls, play like Katy Perry kissing on girls." Meanwhile, "Painted Windows" reunited the Pussycat Dolls with Rodney Jerkins who produced "When I Grow Up" and "Elevator" for Doll Domination,with the song being described by Digital Spy's Nick Levine as "stomping and scuzzy in equal measure". A reviewer for Rap-Up teased that Melody Thornton could actually be heard singing on "Painted Windows", a nod to the fact that Scherzinger is credited for lead vocals and Thornton for additional lead vocals in liner notes for The Mini Collection.

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Erlewine – the website's senior editor – claimed that New York Dolls was a more quintessential proto-punk album than any of the Stooges' releases because of how it "plunders history while celebrating it, creating a sleazy urban mythology along the way". David Fricke argued that it was a more definitive glam rock album than David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust (1972) or anything by Marc Bolan because of how the band "captured both the glory and sorrow of glam, the high jinx and wasted youth, with electric photorealism". In The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), Joe Gross called it an "absolutely essential" record and "epic sleaze, the sound of five young men shaping the big city in their own scuzzy image". Sylvain attributed its influence on punk rock to how Rundgren recorded his guitar through the left speaker and Thunders' guitar on the right side, an orientation which he said younger bands such as the Ramones and the Sex Pistols adopted.
