Ever since the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, but more specifically since the bombing of the London Underground trains in 2005, the British police and state have stepped up the search for ‘home-grown’ terrorists. Apart from the fact that this makes them sound like something you buy from the garden center, the complication in [...]
Years ago when my bestie from university came for a visit to have us meet her new boyfriend (I remember little about him other than his obvious discomfort and disbelief when he asked me a question about the ending of "Ulysses" and I explained that Molly was masturbating. Dude, you have to be able to take an adult response and not fall over in a crumple at my dinner table) and when she left,...
I've been spending the last couple of weeks putting together the sound design for Ottershaw Players' latest show, Tom's Midnight Garden . I've done Sound for a show a couple of times, but usually either in our village hall, or a sound plot that's not too complicated. So I volunteered to do the sound design for this show, thinking "how hard could it be". And then I read the script. And saw...

The Sounds of my Youth. When we were growing up, we weren't allowed to watch TV unless it was PBS (and really, how cool is Mr. Rogers past age 8?)or 'The Cosby Show.' We had to beg my Mom for weeks just to be allowed to watch 'My So-Called Life' and even then it was canceled after one series. Thanks a lot, ABC! But instead of television, we had music. I think we were the first people in town to have...
The first in a 14-part series analyzing and showcasing the entirety of Green Day's 1994 pop-punk masterpiece Dookie . All the recent name-checking of classic albums from 1994 on this blog got me thinking: wow, wasn’t that a great year for rock music? Thinking about the Sound Affects posts on Blur and "Soundgarden" as I chowed down at a fast food joint, I instinctively rattled album...
This Devo two-fer from 1980 is a hoot! Girl U Want is by far the strongest of the two songs, Devo at their best. Please forgive the video quality and the occasional audio glitch. I always felt that Devo was more influential than they really got credit for. They have been honored by plenty of bands -- Nirvana , Soundgarden, Sepultura and Pearl Jam , just to name a few.
The decades-old rock band -- who has inspired the likes of Nirvana and Soundgarden -- play the Bowery Ballroom tonight. For tickets and more information, call 212-533-2111 or visit www.boweryballroom.com. ...

Lady Gaga debuted a brand spankin' new video out for her single "Bad Romance" this week, and I'm not over-exaggerating when I say it's like throwing a Matthew Barney film into a blender with Britney Spears , Hype Williams , True Blood , pyrotechnics, Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" video and they gayest man you know. Obviously this equals crazy fa-bu-lous. Truth be told, I still...
