Vulture (Free subscription) | 08/12/2008
Photo: Tracy Morford "Oh my God," Martha Plimpton said, introducing last night's Stars in the Margin concert at the Zipper Theater. "It’s just going to be a night of awesomeness."

And Another Thing (Free subscription) | 07/12/2008
Yesterday my iPod came up with Bob Dylan's "I Pity The Poor Immigrant". I think it's one of my favourite records of any sort. I've played that one song about five times since and even tooled about with the chords on the guitar. Last night I looked out the album "John Wesley Harding" and played it all the way through. I love the words - particularly that line about "his gladness comes to pass". You...

While the photographs, in the main, tell a story of a world in revolt, the newspaper cuttings serve as a reminder that for all that it has been the politics of the left in ’68 that have dominated the 40th anniversary media coverage...

CRITICAL MASS (Free subscription) | 05/04/2008
The disembodied voice of Hungarian singer Bea Palya filled the darkness at the venerable night club Webster Hall as she emerged from the back alongside the audience, singing raw, no microphone, no spotlight, in a warmly eloquent voice. She was the most self-possessed of all the performers at PEN's second cabaret. (Writers, containing multitudes, are rarely as comfortable within their own fleshly bodies...
