One music that never fails to soothe me is Celtic music. I can just feel the stress and the tension of the day wash off, and something crisp and green take its place. It is always welcome, and in turn always welcoming, and there’s a heaviness and a frivolity that can dance with each other. […]

As a writer, not like this, but as a fiction writer, it’s my job to describe a character and make you love them or hate them. If you’re indifferent to them, back to the drawing board. But an actor has to become another person and make you love them or hate them. Infinitely harder, mostly […]

Everyday we live and breathe free air, eat gluten free hot dogs and get triple-pump sugary abandon at our local coffee shop. And we’re able to do this with nary a thought because of the unsung work of thousands of dedicated folk. And when we sit down to watch our favorite movie, we might be […]

There’s something pure about a singer. The voice is the most root instrument, almost certainly the first instrument among the cave people. But a singer, especially one sitting behind a piano, brings us along on a journey down a river of club smoke and soft lights. Leslie Barkman can sing. Really. She is exactly who […]

There are writers’ writers, just like there are guitarists’ guitarists and pimps’ pimps. A writer’s writer is not, make no mistake, an affront to the reader, or solely focused on some void philosophical notion of craft.

Hollywood on the Hudson. This is a broad description, maybe even beyond the bounds of our delivery trucks, but we’re a big part of it around here.

One of the bands I got into early was Megadeth. They sang about magic and aliens and nukes and it just blew my mind. It’s […]

Tribute bands, good ones, are like spiritual mediums. They get us to hold hands, and with some chanting (and a few tasty riffs) they get us in touch with bands by which we are separated by both time and distance. A good tribute band is a resurrectionist. Legend is, perhaps a resurrectionist….though we’re not categorically […]

If you’ve ever achieved anything, really achieved, you got two ways to go about it. You can pull it out at parties, or at the convenience store by your house, and make sure everyone you know knows your claims to fame. You could also sum up a lifetime others would dream about by saying you […]

Photo By: Robert Cooper Jr. There are over 170,000 words in the English language. And the human mouth can make close to 800 distinct sounds. It’s nothing that we think about, but as an instrument, the mouth is more versatile than just about any other. And in the world of music, it is hip hop […]
