Triple DVD Set Captures Genesis Reunion

June 10th, 2008
By Mike

I can’t recall seeing any concert event this big since Woodstock, which was “half a million strong,” remember? Well, 500,000 fans saw Genesis play a free, open-air concert in Rome’s historic Circo Massimo last July. It was at the end of their European tour after [...]

Happy Birthday Mike Rutherford

October 2nd, 2007
By Mike

Guitarist and bassist Mike Rutherford (born in 1950) celebrates a birthday today.
He’s had quite a career with Genesis (currently on tour) and with Mike & the Mechanics.
I had the pleasure of meeting him at a WEA convention one year, and he is every bit the tall British gentleman. Very talented too; I’ve heard [...]

Arkansas Project Weekend Political Round-Up


Arkansas Project Weekend Political Round-Up By David Kinkade - October 6, 2008 10:29 am The Arkansas Project’s been a little slow off the mark this morning, but here are a few stray things from over the weekend: GOP's Kelly Eichler faces John Edwards in District 38 House race. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette continues its look at legislative races around the state, but they’re not readily available online if you’re not a subscriber. (I argued last week that they SHOULD be, but thus far the AD


Bashed, bruised, beaten


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren better hope the team's biorhythms were off on Sunday afternoon at Giants Stadium.


Manning, Giants dominate 'terrible' Seahawks, 44-6


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren better hope the team's biorhythms were off on Sunday afternoon at Giants Stadium.


Game story


This is the unedited version of my game story that will appear in tomorrow's News Tribune: EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren better hope the team’s biorhythms were off on Sunday afternoon at Giants Stadium. Because the alternative is perhaps too distressful to consider. For the second time in four games, the Seahawks were thoroughly manhandled, the New York Giants thrashing them from the very start of what turned out to be a 44-6 decision played before 79,529 fans,


Gameday Live 4: Seahawks at Giants


Good afternoon Giants enthusiasts! Welcome to Week 5 in the NFL! I'm Chris Mascaro and I'll be bringing you all of today's live game action, as the Giants (3-0) take on the Seattle Seahawks (1-2) from the Meadowlands. A lot has happened since the Giants struggled to beat the Bengals two weekends ago. According to these folks, the Giants became the best team in football without leaving their couch. And they became the sole leaders of arguably the best division in football without lifting a p

Sept revivals: second third


Adsense Code] Hey all. Mike here with the next batch of September revivals. I noticed something recently. I’ve been recommending films at the Forum now to the point where I’m starting to come off as a paid spokesman. First of all, I’m not. Second, it’s getting harder to find more places. MOMA and Walter Reade are the only reliable places to go at this point. Anthology Film Archives is either too inconvenient, and most of their films that I might be interested in

2008-09 East Predictions


Atlantic: 1 (1). Philadelphia - between their overall turnaround last season with a surprising playoff run, getting Simon Gagne back and the weakening of a couple of division rivals, all the pieces are in place for the Flyers to have a great season.  The biggest concern might be how a young team handles expectations as opposed to being the underdog. 2 (4). New Jersey - You don’t often say this about a Devils team, but they might have been the only team in the division to improve their team vi


Kelly McParland: A handful of votes, a whole new history


If Barack Obama manages to hold onto the lead he’s opened in the U.S. presidential race he should score a comfortable victory in the election next month. If so he will have something to lord over a lot of other presidential candidates. Though it’s easy to recall the blowouts -- Reagan’s 49 state romp in 1984, and Nixon’s similar (though ill-fated) triumph in 1972, a surprising number of presidential contests have produced nail-biting races. Mike Sheppard, a graduate student in Statistics at M


25 and Counting: The Next Day Part 1


Part of a continuing travelogue of our recent vacation, which involved an inordinate amount of wine drinking and cost us our life savings. I thought of the next day like this: Today, we're running up Napa's gut, hitting a couple of big name wineries that I can't afford in real life. The day had two goals: cadge a taste of Heitz Martha's Vineyard cab, which retails for something over $100 a bottle, and clear a few hours mid-day for my wife to get rubbed and scrubbed at a spa in Calistoga. Which

Page One Review: The Personifid Project and Marcher Lord Press


I’m a week late on the CSFF blog tour. Maybe that counts me out, but I figure better late than never. In my defense, I feel spread too thin lately. Gandalf and I talked about it at Blogworld. I told him, “I feel stressed, Gandalf. Stretched thin. Like butter, spread over too much bread.” Then we went and shot off some fireworks in front of Treasure Island. But enough apologizing. Special thanks to Randy Ingermanson for helping me remember what I’d forgotten this morning with his post about Jef

Kevin Libin: Harper's arts cuts -- a populist move?


By Kevin Libin You won’t hear much talk about Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s announced cuts to the arts on Charles Adler’s call-in radio program. “We don’t bring it up very often; I’m not crazy about doing topics where it’s obvious that everybody is on the same side,” says the host of Corus Radio’s Adler On-Line, broadcast midday from Winnipeg on 14 stations from Victoria to Toronto. “It’s the equivalent of doing a show in Calgary and saying, ‘so what do you think of Pierre Trudeau.’ ” When t


Marcher Lord Press


I was all ready for this CSFF tour. I'm familiar with Marcher Lord Press, Jeff Gerke's new publishing house. I even browsed the site again in preparation for this post. I had a whole day off to write it, too. Then my allergies kicked in. With a vengeance. This was the worse day I've had all season. I took a pill, some elixir, and some Airborne (well, the Walmart version of it). Nothing helped. I struggled through an easy babysitting job (movies are wonderful, particularly Meet the Robinsons), t


More Marching...


Or Marcher Lords, as the case may be. =) Today I want to talk about the importance of art. Marcher Lord Press has done something completely new and awesome. It has made art just as important as content. When I got the summaries for the three books so that I could figure out a sketch, I found it was difficult to get connected to the different ideas. Hero, Second Class looked fun. I was interested in that, but I wasn't really sure I could draw something related to it (unfortunatly I draw by mood
