In Defense of Food - A Way Forward
Last year I had the good fortune to be given (as a gift from mom) the absolutely eye opening book The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan. This past week I blazed through his most recent book In Defense of Food which is to some extent an attempt to answer the dilemma posed in his [...]
Iron my shirts and swing the female vote
Could this display by apparently sexist young men really have been staged by Clinton supporters? Could the whole “change” thing - as empty as it may be - have pushed her into an “oh yeah” moment in which she realized that she is actually treading on historic ground herself? Could she be cleverly [...]
Maybe Obama can show us just how ugly we are
Let’s suppose that Barack Obama can ride this wave straight out of Iowa and into the general election. Imagine, if you will, the tone of that campaign… the tensions it will ignite… the ways it will expose the cultural, social and religious divisions that have been slowly pulling at the seams of the American [...]
Wicked Little Town
I should have posted this a while ago, but this is some video of my good friend William Mallory on guitar accompanying John Cameron Mitchell for the song Wicked Little Town from the film Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Performance prior to the December 7, 2007 screening in New York. Also: be sure [...]
Motion Advertising on the PATH
This short clip is my second contribution to the collaborative web film project Passing By. It is taken from the PATH train that links Hoboken and Manhattan and focuses on the everybody’s favorite: the motion advertising on the tunnel wall between the 14th and 23rd street stations.
Brokedown Palace
I started following Marc Orchant on Twitter after reading his tweets on a few shows he was going to out west… Railroad Earth, Dave Matthews Band, and Phil Lesh to be specific. Anyone who knows me knows that this is my musical sweet spot and Marc hit it almost every night for the week [...]
My Contribution To Passing By
The above video is my first contribution to the collaborative “film” Passing By. If you’re not familiar with the project, the idea is simple: shoot some video out of the window of a moving vehicle (a train in my case) and upload it to YouTube with the right tags and presto… you are part [...]
Yes, I Want To Be A Guru Too
OK… so I am a bit partial to this video because I make a brief appearance (a much younger me, but me nonetheless), but it is truly one of my favorite tunes regardless. William just keeps churning out good music, good visuals, and good fun… I strongly urge anyone and everyone to check him [...]
Endorsed by Mike Doughty
Whenever Mike Doughty endorses something I always like to check it out. And since I’m not feeling well and just want to get something out into the ether I figured I’d pass this on to you. It’s a video by Swedish singer/songwriter Jose Gonzales. As I said up top, I’m getting this [...]
new video old footage
Two excellent “new” videos from William Mallory — a combination of his old film school footage and his new tunes. Watching this stuff makes me remember how exciting it was to hang with Will back in the day… both he and his art were electric. It made living in a small suburban New [...]
