Marvin Hamlisch & Friends September 23, 1989 The Garde Arts Center New London, CT Recently I’ve seen a number of amazing performances. From SXSW to hometown house shows, there is nothing I enjoy more than a great concert. As outlined in a previous post, I thought it would be fun to revisit the shows I’ve […]
I’m still fascinated when I check out one link and then five clicks later end up somewhere completely unexpected. We’re bombarded with so much content these days, I think some of us frown upon the idea of anything but deliberate Web search.

They are one of a handful of live streaming platforms battling for […]
For a while now Gary V has been referencing an old Wu-Tang Clan song C.R.E.A.M. aka Cash Rules Everything Around Me.
