Dog Days of Election '08
Anderson@Large (Free subscription) | 08/04/2008
In my ongoing search for distractions from dog whistle-politics, I went to the “Harlem Rent Party” at the Museum of the City of New York.

Music greats like Louis Jordan, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway and the “Empress of the Blues,” Bessie Smith. While there, I checked...

All I Hear is Radio Ga Ga
Sequenza21/ (Free subscription) | 07/25/2008
Some well-to-do friends of mine purchased at a charity auction recently a chance to play disk jockey for an hour on WBGO in Newark which is, I believe, the most listened to jazz radio station in the world. Since they aren’t that much into jazz, they promptly passed the opportunity on to me as a [...]

Lesson From Olivia – Be Smart About Blogging For Profit
BlogHer (Free subscription) | 07/23/2008
One of the amazing things that happened at BlogHer 2008 was the beginning of mainstream media outreach to certain bloggers to create content for their existing web sites or new blog portals. This is not a bad thing. I repeat, it is extraordinary good thing that type of opportunity is taking place. However, there are parts of my mind that are howling like an old yappy dog. Something is amiss. I can’t...

More Death Shows: Cold Case
(en)Gender (Free subscription) | 07/11/2008
I watch a lot of death shows, as I call them - the forensics, the procedurals, the investiigation shows. I’m a big fan of Cold Case, especially: the premise is that they have to take on a cold case - a case where the leads died, mostly - and solve it. So there’s a kind [...]

Ten Top Ten: Interpreters
Harmony's Weblog (Free subscription) | 07/10/2008
Continuing my AFI-style accumulation of favorite albums by category, I go to “interpreters”–people who generally perform songs written by others and make them their own. Madeleine Peyroux, Careless Love My current favorite album of reimagined standards, it ranges from Bessie Smith to Elliott Smith, all swingily delivered by Ms. Peyroux in her Billie Holiday-influenced style. Nina Simone, Forbidden...
