<h2>Featured Song</h2> From their 2005 release 'September', the song 'Elizabeth' is a wonderful showcase of the band's depth and scope. Poetic, rhythmic, dreamlike and passionate all in one. During a recent showcase at The Goldhawk in Hoboken, folks were treated to an impromptu reworking ...
<h2>Rockin' for a cause at Maxwell's</h2> A very decent crowd for a cold Sunday night at Maxwell's. Especially with it being last day of a long holiday weekend. Considering the reason for the show—as well as the performers—I cannot say I'm all that surprised....

<h2>Sounds like something you did at Studio 54, but...</h2> Music has the power to churn up all sorts of emotions. I was feeling a bit down in the dumps today for no particular reason. But when I hit play on my iPod, Dino cheered me up. Yes I have Dean Martin on my iPod big whoop......
<h2>David Bowie on Spongebob Squarepants? You betcha!! </h2> And it's things like this that make me love the man. He constantly takes on challenges that test his own boundaries. Remember The Man Who Fell to Earth? The Elephant Man on Broadway? Labyrinth? That whole white soul period in th...
<h2>Hoboken rocks the Beelmedia Loft in full regalia</h2> Music, food, booze and costumes. This was a fun night to say the least but it's a night that had me kinda stressing out for a few days. You see, we were all told by our hosts Bill and Frank that anyone not in costume would be penal...
<h2>My new(ish) noise & soundscape project</h2> Yes it's true, I'm using my own website to shamelessly promote my new project. Big whoop ... wanna fight about it? Things go boom. Things go crack. There may be a hum, but in the end it's all the same. Check out this piece called 'New Yo...
