Aside from publishing (Barbary Shore Publishing Company) and writing for The Verge, I also record tunes under the name South Side Sound Machine these days.
When my band Big Hurry was looking for a name, I asked my friend Lenny Bronowicz if he had any ideas. He made a list, and among the suggestions was South Side Sound Machine.
“I love it, Lenny,” I said. “But I don’t think the other guys will go for it.”
“Why?” He asked, indignant. “Is it because of the Miami Sound Machine? Why can’t more than one city have a sound machine?”
