Heavy Jamal / Alter of the Dead
Favorite video of the week. Make that the month. Actually – make that the summer. Heavy Jamal is Devil (Wythe Marschall) and The Mangoose (Scott Neagle of Big Bang TV). Wythe collaborated with Sam Tyndall of The Kiss Off on the track “Stranger In the Strangest Land,” which will be featured on the upcoming Two [...]
Stain / A new play by Tony Glazer
On Tuesday I went to see Tony Glazer’s new play Stain at the Kirk on Theater Row. Intense show. The story is about a family unraveling as their secretive inner relationships are revealed. I could elaborate, but that would ruin all the fun. The night was filled with stellar performances – most notably that of [...]
Review / The Crack Up / F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Crack-Up by F. Scott Fitzgerald My review rating: 4 of 5 starsThe Fitzgerald book you never hear about. This was published by a close friend after Fitzgerald’s death. A collection of his notebooks, broken down into sections like “Dialogue” and “Quotes” and “Names.” It provides a unique look at the author and his process [...]

The Wackness = The Goodness
I’ve been waiting for The Wackness to come out since the moment I first saw the trailer online. So when it hit the AMC on 42nd St this past Thursday, I was there that afternoon. If you haven’t heard about the film, the synopsis goes something like this: High school senior graduates in 1994 NYC [...]
So Rick, Can You Break That Down For Me?

Through the Eyes of Vincent Moon
This Sunday I went out for a drive in the country. A route I like to take, from the house in Poughkeepsie, west into the hills of Amenia, through towns where I sometimes go to write, Millbrook and Millerton. I stopped for gas in Pleasant Valley and as I was about to pull out, back [...]
