"As American business has become more and more media savvy, its leaders have appeared in media less and less. Business reporters have to work their way past background conversations with underlings, written statements that state nothing, and that increasingly hardy perennial: the ‘no comment.’ The modern chief executive lives behind a wall of communications operatives, many of whom ladle out slop meant to obscure rather than reveal."

Spencer Moody’s tortured wails have never sounded better. (Copy of the new 45 is in the mail!)
"There’s no sugarcoating it: the Court Tavern was a dive, a dark, ramshackle beer joint. You walked through the door, showed your ID (rare was the night you could sneak in underage), walked through the upstairs bar, paid the surly doorman at the top of the staircase, and descended into a tiny basement with a low ceiling, another bar, and a small stage with a mural in back. It was completely unpretentious, and its various slogans (‘Home of The Stars,’ ‘Cruel But Fair,’ ‘Home of the Floating Chromosome’) matched its self-deprecating character."
Stumbled upon a copy of my old band’s split 12” circa 2002 with New Brunswick pals Fortunato at the Princeton Record Exchange on Saturday. And not even in the dollar bin!
