May The Stars Light Your Way
Through Mr. Ruhlman’s book, I experienced what life at the Culinary must be like. It gave me an appreciation for the planning, commitment, dedication, and stamina that today’s culinary professionals must embody. It is clear that Mr. Ruhlman enjoyed his time at the Culinary and…
I really love W.B. Spencer’s work — I first found RESUME WITH MONSTERS, then ZOD WALLOP, then RETURN OF COUNT ELECTRIC, and IRRATIONAL FEARS is waiting to be read. MAYBE I’LL CALL ANNA is an interesting story from his early career and good in its…
After reading BECOMING A CHEF, DINING OUT, and the amazing CULINARY ARTISTRY, perhaps my expectations were a little high for this book. However, CHEF’S NIGHT OUT seemed thin on material, and designed for someone who is not me: a person that travels a LOT, and has tons of money. The book will live in my collection as a reference for when I travel, but I put it down after only reading a little bit of it since it doesn’t apply to me. Also, my city had ZERO restaurants listed. ZERO. I applaud Dorenberg & Page for their research, but this book tries to hit too broad a target, and misses.
Short review by Katherine Willis ooooh la la i just got my tribute cd today and it is so lovely. i nearly peed my pants over “jack’s valentine” b/c my roommates and i are such fans of the voice-in-the-computer program (we make all the different…
So, no time to write a full-out, detailed review of the CD, but having listened to it three times now (it’s competing for time in my CD player with a three-CD set of “the best of Peter Gabriel” that I made the other day –…
Review by Dan Temmesfeld
The Over the Rhine show last night… well, it ROCKED.
openers: Griffin House was good enough to plunk down the remaining funds in my wallet for a CD. Children’s House was unique.
Over the Rhine started out the show with “Spinning”
with Nag Champa floating aall around and a sitar’s
notes bouncing through the air.
Yes, a sitar at an OTR show.
Sweet.
All in all, they played a lot of OHIO tunes (except I
don’t know which version of Bothered they played).
All were a rockin’. They also played All I Need Is
Everything, Latter Days, The World Can Wait, When
I Go (solo was bueno), and possibly some others.
The new guitarist for this tour (Paul) was killer.
I liked him a lot. The sitar, 8 different guitars,
xylophone, and Nag Champa-powered Lap Steel… he tore some of the songs up.
K&L… bring Paul back often. He rocketh.

Crosley’s freshman offering, OFF THE LAUNDRY, is a great collection of pop songs. The music is tight, the writing is fun and catchy, and the riffs will stick with you. Vince’s voice soars on songs like GIRL LIKE YOU and SOUL SURVIVE, and the first…
