Album Review: ‘World’s Strongest Dog’ by Long Neck
Long Neck isn’t just one of the most exciting young bands in the area — they’re one of the top young bands anywhere. The second full-band full-length from Lily Mastrodimos and company is quite an achievement and I was delighted to review World’s Strongest Dog for hMAG.
Faces: Holly Metz
Hoboken’s historian in residence, Holly Metz, has written a fascinating new book, The Untold Life of Peter Lee, about a man born into slavery for the prominent Stevens family. I had the honor of interviewing Ms. Metz for hMAG.
Kids and Dogs Look at Me Funny
This Saturday, October 5, I’ll be holding my second-annual “Don’t Diss Disabilities” discussion at the Hoboken Public Library. I wrote a preview for hMAG.
Faces: Tammy Faye Starlite
Tammy Faye Starlite is a singer, an actress, a neighbor, and an absolute delight. Her New York Times-feted salute to Marianne Faithfull returns this month, and I had the pleasure of interviewing Tammy for hMAG.
No Feet? No Parking
Remarkably, it took me a full year to get a reserved disabled parking space in Hoboken. Have I mentioned that I don’t have feet? I wrote the whole ugly story for hMAG.
Album Review: ‘Omnidirectional’ by the Schramms
I’ve been a fan of the Schramms since moving to Hoboken back in 1994. I’m thrilled that they’ve released their first studio album in nearly 20 years, and was quite honored to write a review for hMAG.
Review: ‘Hey Kid’ by the Karyn Kuhl Band
The new EP by Hoboken’s own Karyn Kuhl Band, Hey Kid, will be released on June 21, but is available for pre-order now. I wrote a review for hMAG.
In Real Life w/ Kimzilla & Emily: Happy Jack
What an honor to be interviewed on the great WFMU program In Real Life about my disability, recovery, and more. An extended podcast version is available here.
Rest Ashore at the Hoboken Arts & Music Festival
I wrote this preview article for hMAG of the exciting young Hoboken-based band Rest Ashore’s appearance at the Spring Arts & Music Festival. The piece also serves as a review of their recent EP Annihilation.
