Citypaper, March 12

This week: A preview of I-House's wonderful upcoming retrospective on filmmaker, painter, composer, and philanthropist Jerome Hill and reviews of Wayne Kramer's Crossing Over and the wholly unnecessary remake of Last House on the Left. Then there's Soundadvice blurbs for German trio Grid Mesh at Gojjo and NYC's Ensemble Pamplemousse on a Bowerbird bill, and a Naked City feature about Chris' Jazz Cafe's R&B/funk/jazz happy hour, Sunset Sessions.

Citypaper, January 3

This week, my annual Naked City piece on what important stories got bumped for silly celebrity nonsense - which has gradually gotten to be more about making fun of goofy news stories than exposing buried stories, but do I look like an investigative reporter to you? And a feature review of P.T. Anderson's restraint-to-wild-abandon There Will Be Blood.
