I first heard of The Happiest Man in the World: An Account of the Life of Poppa Neutrino on NPR. It was the first time I had ever heard of Poppa Neutrino, but I was immediately engaged by him. As soon as the interview concluded, I checked out author Alec Wilkinson’s account … (read more)

The Anthony Project explores how terminal cancer affects all whom it touches, beginning with the patient and radiating outward. This multimedia art exhibition premieres at O’Melveny Gallery (5472 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036) on Friday, August 17 and Saturday, August 18, 2007 (6 p.m. to 10 p.m. both days; free admission.)
The project documents the personal story of Anthony Glass, 31, who lost his life to cancer during the production process. It offers a multifaceted view of the human struggle for survival and the aftermath of loss, combining portraits, snapshots, e-mails, blogs, video, and audio interviews with Anthony, his family, and friends.

If you want a blog that’s all about music, this isn’t the place for you. Sure, I want to share the music I enjoy with a wider audience, but that’s just a pretext for me to learn about the people who make that music (and ask them about things like punctuation and politics.) … (read more)
