Something From Nothing – The Recycled Art of Gregory Maxwell Dunn, by Dean Giagni Max Dunn is reclaiming a house in North Albany the same way he reclaims materials for his artwork; by using things he’s found, things he’s repurposing and things he’s improving. Working in construction, he finds a lot of his materials on […]
John Waite Brought His 55 Year Career to Cohoes Music Hall. Review by Michael Bruce. If I had to choose a word to describe British born professional singer, songwriter, and recording artist John Waite, I would probably choose…Suave! He is a rocker per say, but definitely reeks of a talented “English Gentleman” as well. John […]
Pavement – The Secret History, Vol. 1 (1990 – 1992) – Review by Joshua Reedy. (2015) My copy: 2015 press by Matador. Pavement’s resounding success through the 90s as popularizers of sonically dry, lyrically humorous post-punk in the U.S. awarded them a fairly comfortable career when the time came to sign on with Matador. Pavement’s early […]
New York City Wine and Food Festival 2023: a look in Three parts – by Dick Beach. Part 3 A decidedly different event all around. The Drag Brunch hosted by Lea DeLaria was far less about food and more about the show. Held in The Venue at the Hard Rock Hotel, this was certainly entertaining. […]
New York City Wine and Food Festival 2023, Landmarc – a look in Three parts – by Dick Beach. Part 2 What a departure from the event of last evening. Today (Oct 14) we chose to attend a smaller event at the Landmarc location on the lower west side of the city. Dine and Demo […]
Steve Hackett – Genesys Revisited – Foxtrot at 50 The Town Hall, Oct 14 2003 NYC A Review by Dick Beach. Well DAMN – that was some sh*t! At 50 years gone, the 1972 Genesys release Foxtrot is at least as vibrant and innovative as that long ago. The Town Hall was built in 1921 […]
New York City Wine and Food Festival 2023, Ginny’s Supper Club, a look in three parts – by Dick Beach. Part 1 This is decidedly not a review. Nor is it designed to be comprehensive – jut a look at one of the largest food events in the country through the eyes of a one […]
Open Mic at Ashford and Simpson’s Sugar Bar An Evening in NYC by Dick Beach Once upon a time, a young man purchased a double album titled Ashford and Simpson Live. Just the manner in which the announcer said “Ladies and Gentlemen – ASHford and SIMPson!” let you know it was a treat. Fast forward […]
The Gun Club – Fire Of Love (1981) My copy: reissue from unknown year by Munster Records. Being a fervent student of punk, rockabilly and blues, Jeffrey Lee Pierce took it upon himself to arrange a shotgun wedding of the three styles. While punk spawned largely in post-blues exhaustion, the two genres showed more in […]
Pat Metheny at Troy Music Hall. On a lovely fall evening, it seemed appropriate to hit the wayback machine. Things have changed over the 30 plus years since last I’d seen Pat Metheny. We’ve all gotten older, perhaps put on a couple pounds and gone grey. All these things can likely be said about Pat. […]
