To say Harvey Opgenorth spins soul records every Sunday night at Taylor's tells only a partial truth. In fact, Opgenorth does DJ at a new, self-created venue called "Super Soul Sundays" inside the popular downtown nightspot, but his definition of "soul" is open for interpretation.

"I don't just play soul music," says Opgenorth, 28. "I play music with soul."

It's true. On a recent Sunday night, Taylor's, 795 E. Jefferson St., was bumping with a buffet of soulful sounds, ranging from Latin conga player Mongo Santamaria and jazz great Art Pepper to soul classics like Diane Ross and James Brown. Kraftwerk, Prince and Busta Rhymes were also part of the party vibe. (And, for the record, he only "spins" some of the tunes with the rest coming straight outta' the iPod.)

"I like so many genres: weird, obscure stuff, funny '80s music with robotic voices, upbeat hip-hop, you name it," says Opgenorth, a MIAD grad who playfully goes by the moniker "White Bread" during gigs.

Opgenorth says he adopted the name a few months ago while sporting a handlebar mustache. On his way into Walgreen's, a panhandler approached him and asked how he got his mustache to stay curled.

"I told him I used mustache wax from Sally's (Beauty Supply) ... He said 'Thanks a lot, White Bread. Do you have $2 for a perm?'" says Opgenorth, laughing. "I thought it was so, so funny, considering he had really short hair. I wondered how he could possibly perm his hair and where he could get a perm for $2."

A regularly changing physical appearance is only a portion of Opgenorth's penchant for variety. With more than 1,000 records, the Milwaukee native is focused on all types of music, and he's equally as committed to fine art, computer design, interior design, performance art and more.

Soon, Opgenorth -- who co-owned the vanished Zodiac Luxury Lounge -- will co-curate a show at Luckystar Gallery called "All About Camouflage." This is not a new theme for Opgenorth, whose Museum Camouflage Series -- a guerilla action where he stood statue-style in front of museum paintings wearing clothing that blended in with the piece -- landed him exposure in the highly respected Art Forum magazine and Hardy Blechman's "An Encyclopedia of Camouflage."

"In nature, camouflage works 100 percent of the time, but in the city, it's the opposite," he says. "Ironically, it draws more attention to itself than it blends in."

By standing in front of the paintings attempting to "blend in" but clearly not doing so, Opgenorth hoped people would stop and think about the painting and its intentions.

At a recent Super Soul Sunday, the full house of fans were not stopping and thinking. Instead, they were grooving and drinking Harvey Wallbangers and Bacardi drinks -- both the Sunday-night specials. But by sprinkling in "weird, obscure stuff" with the familiar soul songs, Opgenorth camouflages radio-free music with feel-good favorites, and in the process -- hopefully -- inspires even the most loyal listeners to appreciate something different.

"I want to broaden people's perspectives on what labels are and what it means to be soulful," he says.

"Super Soul Sundays" is every Sunday night at Taylor's from 8 p.m. until bar time. The event is free.
