My most recent short story. Under Written Works. You guys are reading this stuff – right??
Robert Fripp – “Love Cannot Bear:Soundscapes Live” From his 2005 club tour. Three Dog Night – “The Complete Hit Singles” And you know them all. They were the first rock concert I ever saw – at the late New Haven Coliseum. Opening for TDN was the Souther/Hillman/Furay band. We had no idea who they were [...]
It was everything you could hope it would be! You couldn’t guess how it would end – how they would come together? Who would win? How would they go on from this point? And I think the writers and director did a great job of making it all work. Not an easy job. The networks [...]
I think most people don’t take a full vacation because of how long it takes to catch up when you come back. After five days in Vegas, that is where I found myself last week. And I had my leg iron (my Treo) with me so I could respond to ALL of my email. Since [...]
Another of my favorite “one and done” records. Gearwhore is a guy. A DJ (I think) named Brian Natonski. In 1998, Astralwerks released his only CD (that I can find) and it was called Drive. Drive is what this record does. I’m not sure if it really falls under the ‘big beat” tag of techno [...]
Okay – I finally won some money. About $100 on one of those video poker machines. In the Irish casino no less. (Coincidence?) I am now ahead. Still think that kind of gambling is dumb. Last night, I saw the only show I signed up for – Love by Cirque du Soleil at the Mirage. [...]
Conference in full swing out here in the desert – informative, boring, lame food, many accountants… We are in the Hotel Venetian, which is beautiful but the show “Phantom of the Opera” is housed here so that song about the “music of the night” is everywhere! Nice place otherwise. I hear it is in the [...]
Quick stuff. Getting ready for Vegas! Radiohead – “OK Computer”. Why wasn’t this there before? Emerson Lake & Palmer – “Trilogy”. My favorite of theirs. Guided By Voices – “Mag Earwhig” Hoodoo Gurus – “Electric Soup” A singles collection. Steve Hackett – “Unauthorized Biography” Another Best of. Southside Johnny and the Jukes – “The Best [...]
A visit to Boston! Kristin Hersh – “Learn To Sing Like A Star”. Of the band Throwing Muses, but she’s been solo a long time. Her voice is sounding a bit worse for wear, but her songs are still strong and edgy. There are fewer quiet numbers than I’m used to but that’s a good [...]
This was my first play. It’s an extended one act about the life of the American actress Jean Seberg, paralleled with the rise and fall of Joan of Arc. A “two hander” as they are called – two actresses only. If anyone’s in the city, I am having a staged reading of the play at [...]
Another softball game Monday and I had two singles, two RBI’s and a lot less pain than last week. Yea! Chris also scored his first goal in lacrosse. Yea! Okay – so I have to go deal with local government tonight. Back to the Town Council chambers, hopefully with a number of other irate citizens. [...]
This is a great song by Jenny Lewis, recorded for the “Rabbit Fur Coat” LP with the Watson Twins. Jenny is an indie-diva formerly with the band Rilo Kiley (formerly or is the band lurking out there someplace?). She is gorgeous, has a beautiful voice and writes these caustic little tunes. That’s kind of the [...]
On May 15th, I am going to Vegas. For work. I have to go to a conference about accounting software. What better place than Vegas? Now – I have never been to Vegas before. I don’t even watch the TV shows about it (isn’t James Caan on one of them?). Plus I am not the [...]
