Zero Times Everything
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Apr 8, 2013
That's the name of a combo consisting of Tony Geballe and fellow Crafties Pietro Russino and Richard Sylvarnes who are playing in New York this week. They are performing a live musical score to the film The Last Words of Dutch Schultz, a feature film by Richard Sylvarnes featuring the actor, filmmaker and playwright DJ Mendel and NY Mets broadcaster Alex Anthony. The film is based on the delirious death-bed ramblings of the gangster who died following a shooting in Newark, NJ in 1935. The film incorporates found footage including travelogues, FBI training films, silent-era films, newsreels, commercials, and more.

Stones At Hyde Park
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Apr 4, 2013
The world of rock was, er, rocked to its foundations with the news that they are playing Hyde Park once again. The original gig in 1969 was of course a tremendous boost to a fledgling King Crimson who wowed the vast crowd with the likes of 21st Century Schizoid Man which, in the words of Ed Vulliamy, "threatened to blow the Stones offstage."
