Thursdays Are For Pimping
Feb. 7th, 2013 12:24 pmOr at least, they used to be. I've been too busy with things to keep up. Still, lots going on, so I should probably give it a go.
The Grammys are on Sunday, of course, and once again I'll be live blogging it for Telegram.com. You can see some of my early thoughts on the Grammy contenders in my column today. In other music stuff in the paper today, Craig Semon talks about the newest from Bat For Lashes, and Alan Sculley talks to Daughtry in advance of their DCU Center show. In related news, Richard Duckett talks to bull riders. Which is not something that happens every day in Worcester.
Perhaps most exciting is Noah Bombard's online interview with singer-songwriter Cara Brindisi:
In the "things I probably should have mentioned earlier" department, I have a review up of poet Miles Walser at the Poets' Asylum; a look at Dave Magario's song "I Was Saved"; a roundup of some of the songs from the Scott Ricciuti tribute, "One Song Is Not Enough"; a look at Hunter Amabile's song, "Beyond the TV"; and reviews of the albums "All By Myself," by Jon Bonner, and "Phantom Train," by the Marshall Pass.
Busy? Busy.
There's also been lots of stuff over on Radius, including my "Absent Friends," Tatyana Brown's "Your Invitation to the Wake: For Alexandra Petri, After Her Article, ‘Is Poetry Dead?’" and Dave Macpherson's "At the Slush Pile Saloon." As always, there is much, much more in the works.
Lastly, on the books front, I'll be releasing my newest chapbook, "Toxic Waltz," on Monday at The Dirty Gerund Poetry Series, where I'll be celebrating my 41st birthday. Also performing is one of my favorite local musicians, James Keyes. Because evidently I've decided that to celebrate my birthday, I get to listen to awesome music. I think that's a good plan for the future.
Also just coming out now is "Best Indie Lit New England," which I co-edited alongside Lea C. Deschenes, Lori Desrosiers, Thomas Dodson, Astrid Drew, Annabel Gill, Elizabeth MacDuffie and Samantha Milowsky. Which is a lot of editors. But then, it's a lot of book. More info on ordering and release parties to come. But on the whole? It's looking like a hectic time ahead.
