Jimmy Edgar wants to be your STD

Jimmy Edgar's music is a fly combination of the genre styles he was raised hearing — from '80s soul to the techno his fellow Detroiters invented. But it's his raw humor that adds an edge to the blend: "I Wanna Be Your STD," for example, brilliantly skewers R&B's oversexed nature with absurdly nasty talk over stuttering beats. Edgar appears on a bill with one of his chief influences, SoCal electro pioneer Egyptian Lover, at "Club Loaded" on Friday, May 4, at Rickshaw Stop at 10 p.m. Admission is $10; call 861-2011 or visit www.rickshawstop.com for more info. — Tamara Palmer
