Washington, DC transplant L. Skell created The Rude Staircase after moving to the nation's capital from The Big Easy. Taking horns, theremin, and cello and unleashing them upon the post-punk DC environment with an ear for Basin Street jazz improvisation, Sookie Jump (What Delicate, 9/11/07) is as crazy as it is fascinating. A five-car pileup of the B-52s ("A Gaggle of Swans" sounds like "Love Shack" plus a choir and spiked Kool-Aid), the Talking Heads, Alice Cooper, Charlie Mingus, and Ween, Sookie is one wild ride.
