On the 8th day of Christmas … I listened to Nerina Pallot’s We Made It Through Another Year EP
There is a fitting wistfulness to Nerina Pallot’s just released Christmas EP We Made it Through Another Year. Not so much because of the British artist herself whom I have found over the course of many LPs and EPs, and in everyday Twitter conversation, to be every bit as Continue Reading
Movie review: American Hustle
If there is one thing that David O. Russell’s sublime new movie American Hustle, establishes very early on, it’s that appearances can be deceiving.
