One of Vegas Thunder’s earliest memories was of his mother, Adelle, standing in the front yard next to a gaggle of faded pink plastic flamingos waving her cigarette in the air, screaming the F-word at the mailman.

Let me take off my glasses. Otherwise they’re going to glare something fierce in this light. And besides, they make me look ridiculous on camera, like the Wizard of Oz in Drag. Okay. Ready.

Louis Loomis, as the group calls itself, explores an eery musical landscape with distorted violin and anxious drums, the bass looming and dark. Errant keyboard tones arrive and depart like […]

Vignettes, a brilliant apartment venue for twice-monthly one-night art exhibitions, features photographs by Serrah Russell and Julia Salamonik. These are really a delight. (Just dial the number for “Stinson” on the apartment call-box and answer the questionaire to gain entry.)

In an uncustomary relaxation of the stern and rigid discipline that defined it, the parochial school I attended from seventh to twelfth grades permitted students whose parents obtained tickets for opening day to look at live baseball instead of dull blackboards.
The answer isn't poetry, but rather language
