When I’m in the supermarket at 3AM paying for some terrible boxed product to satisfy whatever post-bar craving has possessed me for the evening, I inevitably look in awe upon the many rows of paperback thrillers. The names of both author and novel often seem interchangeable, and the covers rely on geometric color shapes and … Continue reading

MEDIA REPORTS (4.29.07)

1. BLENDER – APRIL 2007 Ostensibly a music magazine, Blender is really more a somewhat music-based pop culture rag. You’ll get your share of record reviews and interviews as they copy much of the look/format of England’s far superior Q magazine, but there’s a distinctly American spazziness that makes this an unpredictable, light, and usually … Continue reading

BOX OFFICE IMPOTENCE

Looks like the Box Office will be taking a big fat codwallop to the brown this weekend. The last weekend in April is traditionally slow, but hoooo-wee. Few were expecting so much wind-sucking.
