Witness the spectacle created by this modern day alchemist[…]

About The Omnipresent Phillip Glass
Glass: A Portrait in Twelve Parts, a film produced and directed by Scott Hicks
This excellent documentary/interview film with and about Phillip Glass going down the Astroland roller coaster in Coney Island with a smile on his face. All those years of involvement with Buddhism and other spiritual traditions would seem to have paid off. But why subject one’s life to danger gratuitously? The question is neither asked nor answered. Glass claims not to be a Buddhist. Nevertheless he has a Buddhist teacher named Gelek Rinpoche and is on the boards of numerous Buddhist organizations including Tibet House and a magazine I get four times per year about Buddhist topics called Tricycle. The film features Chuck Close, the famous artist who paints portraits mostly in black dots that look like blown up photographs. Close has known Glass for many years[…]
uddling poets inside dark perfect sunday fall warm

The first time we encounter John Cage, we think that he is somewhat interesting.
Teaching a music appreciation class to a small group of high school students, I performed 4′33″ for them one day outside. About 30 seconds into the first movement, one of them said, ‘oh, I get it.’ Still, I think there is […]

Do Tell Hotel
Review by Kevin Riordan
To read Carl Watson’s novel is to put on a pair of X-Ray glasses that do not stop at the skin, but go on to eviscerate instead of titillate, the literary equivalent of the Swedish film Travis Bickle takes his date to. From the first line, I thought I had a handle to grasp this book first published in French a decade ago: a new Jim Thompson, whose first person anti-confessionals were cherished in France and nearly neglected here, like so many other tough paperback original authors, like David Goodis, Chester Himes, or Charles Williams. This contrarian thwarted and eluded that grasp in no time. The book is as free of cliché as it is of guideposts, as he resolutely qualifies every line that might put things in the light, until, like diamonds in a seam of coal, he plants a gem of faceted brilliance[…]
