I'm also well aware of the fact that I left Grizzly Bear, St. Vincent and Flaming lips off this list. Frankly, I need more time to digest those records. Not an intentional diss.

I just got to interview B.H. Barry.

Don't know this band.

But here's the sco.

Band asks Warner Brothers for how much money they earned from digital royalties.

WB gives them bullshit.

The band KNOWS its bullshit because the guy works for Rhapsody now.

Band tears WB apart.

Interesting read.

I've just recieved word that two of my plays, Partisans and A Rain of Seagulls (being a parody of The Seagull by Anton Chekhov), will be performed as part of the New England Russian Theatre Festival at the Boston Playwrights' Theatre from February 19-21, 2010, produced by the Lau Lapides Company.
