Music Review Review: Seether - Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces
Post grunge survivors return with bleak and angry outburst. I was mildly surprised to find that Seether were still on the go. After all, most of the other big rock, post-grunge bands have long gone the way of the dodo and the pig-footed bandicoot , with the honourable exception of Nickelback who seemed to have evolved some kind of immune system / defense shield that repels all comers.But here ...

Music Review: The Rolling Stones - Flowers
The Rolling Stones: Chapter 8. Record companies like cash cows. When their cash cows take longer to produce an album than in the past, the record companies begin looking around for a way to make money. And so the Flowers album was born.

Music Review: FARCHILD - Chivalry Has Died
FARCHILD means business and she demands your attention but won’t beg for it. I have this recurring dream where Paris Hilton is getting her ass kicked while trying to sing “Stars Are Blind” to a crowd of a couple hundred confounded onlookers. The Heiress is trying to make her way through the ironic line “Some people never go beyond their stupid pride” with that silly backing track coming out of ...

RARE AS A DAY IN JUNE
IN CLASSICAL MUSIC, June is really the cruelest month. Oh, it's summertime, all right, and music is suddenly everywhere, seemingly lured by the sun and growing right out of the cracks in the sidewalk. But while blues and retro and hip-hop and emo and screamo and post-post-everything singer/songwriters are partying down for the tourists, classical music lovers are suddenly adrift. Orchestras and ...

A FAIR-WEATHER FROLIC AT TWO RIVER
"Our story's just a tall tale," proclaims lanky narrator Clem (Dan Sharkey) at the outset of "Mark Twain's A Murder, A Mystery and a Marriage," the musical comedy now onstage at Red Bank's Two River Theater.

Buoyed by the blues
It's after midnight and my brother, Jim, and I are strolling down a desolate stretch of Sunflower Avenue. We can hear the music blaring from the sidewalk, but I am apprehensive as we walk into a dimly lighted juke joint the size of a beach cottage.
