Mostly, I’m trying to point people in the direction of a lot of great stuff. By quoting from Hammett the hope is that people will go and read or re-read these books, or listen to some Cab Calloway records or Ronnie Dawson or whatever. For me, it’s a fascinating world, and I’m just trying to shine a spotlight on it. I think the language was hugely more inventive than anything that’s...

Since his days in Cab Calloway's band, Gillespie worked hard to stand out, and when recognition wasn't forthcoming in 1941, he kept raising...

Le Corbeau (1943, France) - An anonymous letter writer spreads dark accusations in a small town. The town is so full of depraved people that practically everyone could be the culprit, or at least are so unlikeable that you don't mind them being falsely accused of it. Watched it all. Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman (1943, USA) - By the undead eyebrows of Bela Lugosi, how many are there of these? Watched:...

. They called Atlantic Records "the house that Ruth built" during the 1950s, and they weren't referring to the Sultan of Swat. Ruth Brown's regal hitmaking reign from 1949 to the close of the '50s helped tremendously to establish the New York label's predominance in the R&B field. Later, the business all but forgot her — she was forced to toil as domestic help for a time —...
