Noise Radio (and WHAR), there is one other sonnet (not by Donne) which I've always found unusual among Will's sonnets: Sonnet 145 Those lips that Love's own hand did make, breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate', to me that languish'd for her sake: but when she saw my woeful state, straight in h...

Never really listened to these guys before, but happenned upon this cd at my local Towers, and put on the headphones. Listened to the first half and was overwhelmed by a wall of sound which sounded like Spector going punk. This is truly a rowdy rhythm record. I couldn't tell what the heck they were ...

The New York Times obituary included the following paragraph: Trough four decades, public response to Ms. Sontag remained irreconcilably divided. She was described, variously, as explosive, anticlimactic, original, derivative, naïve, sophisticated, approachable, aloof, condescending, populist, purit...

Tim(e): Random acts of violence have been common in american society for as long as it has existed. In the early 20th century, random shootings were common events. At the turn of the century, poor immigrants in the Five Points section of NYC created the most notorious and violent patch of city anywh...

Bamboo Needle's reaction is reasonable and sane, but, sadly, EC's behavior over the last few years leads me to conclude that he is happy as a pig in shit that he has been nominated for all these categories, and will make every effort to be there at the ceremony to have his mug photographed in all it...

Predicting Grammy behavior is always fun, so here's my guess as to our hero's chances. Vocal performance is a tough one: EC getting an award for doing a Cole Porter song, and against this competition? the Josh guy gets the old fuddy duddy voters; Mayer gets the young ones; Prince gets the cool ones;...

TOOM is indeed a great record, and Not Dark Yet is my favorite track, but a couple of weeks ago I got to see Bobby Z live on a beautiful summer night by the banks of the Hudson River (actually in a minor league baseball stadium in Fishkill, NY, but that just doesn't have the same ring) and he played...

One of the many great things about After Hours is that it has become almost a period piece reflecting the amazing changes that have taken place in downtown NY. In the early 80s when the movie appeared, parts of SOHO and Tribeca were still desolate haunts by night and were populated (sparsely) by the...

Miss BA, if you were watching in another country would they not be telling you about the cancer struggles of mothers of their athletes? Or is it your view that only american broadcasters find this kind of stuff newsworthy? I doubt that the strategy is an american invention or that its use is limited...

What makes IB stand out for someone like me, who actually ran to the store and got a vinyl copy which I then wore out throgh repeated listenings, is something that may now be difficult to understand in light of EC's progression as an artist over the last two decades. In 1982, IB sounded like nothing...
