Admittedly, because of my being friends/associates with a couple of the composers on the program, I wasn’t sure at first as to whether I would write a review on this concert, which took place last night at Atlanta’s Eyedrum. But by the time the last note was struck at the end of the program, it […]
I don’t care what anyone says- THIS is how you spend a vacation away from work. Two filming days in less than a month- it must be my birthday. Not quite- just fortunate planning. After our first day of filming over at the Caudle’s house in Canton at the end of January (they’re Mike’s parents […]
Snooch to the Nooch! Well, with the Oscars finally happening on Sunday, it’s now time for my final look at the nominees, and a look at my final predictions, and whether they’ve changed in the past month. Before I get to the festivities, though, an update on where my Top 10 Best and Favorites for […]
Last night I attended a concert put on by Sonic Generator, the musical group-in-residence at Georgia Tech University in Atlanta led by Jason Freeman, a composition and music technology professor at the university. I had gone to a couple of the group’s concerts last year, and was excited to be able to go again last […]
It’s been 11 months, but it felt like yesterday… In all honesty, a good part of me gets off on artistic accomplishment. When something comes together like this, the feeling is- quite frankly- near-orgasmic. No joke dude. This is crack for artists. True, this could fall apart in editing.

Snooch to the Nooch! The title says it all. Actually, it doesn’t this year, but read on. The Oscars are on February 22 at 8pm EST this year, with Hugh Jackman(??) hosting. Best Picture Oscar’s Final Five “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” “Frost/Nixon” “Milk” “The Reader” “Slumdog Millionaire” Likes: The Academy managed a curveball […]
Snooch to the Nooch! Well, there’s not much left to say that the title doesn’t already say. On Thursday, Oscar nominations for this year will be announced. Here are my personal picks for what (and who) I’d like to see nominated this year, as well as some personal observations (when appropriate). This is not, mind […]
With this weekend being the official start of Hollywood’s fiscal year with new releases “Bride Wars” and “The Unborn” gracing our theatres (unless you prefer stinking up…hehehe), and Oscar nominations hitting the streets next week, I thought this would be a good time to let you guys in on the film’s I’m most looking forward […]
2008 is one of those years I can see myself looking back on as important and pivotal, not just as an artist but as an individual. I started off the year lost, but ended it found and rejuvenated, creatively and personally. So if the two seem intertwined this year, it’s because I cannot think to […]
In all honesty, this essay has been in the writing since August. Not that everything on the lists for 2008 have been solidified since then, but just what I could reasonably assume- or know for sure- was going to be here come year’s end. My Top 10s- been up in the air up until the […]
