Second City Cop (Free subscription) | 4 hours ago
You like us! You really really like us!! OK, all joking aside, we were completely flabbergasted when we started receiving e-mails this morning saying we had been mentioned on the John Williams WGN Radio Show today. We thought it was just a passing mention - but the whole show was about Google releasing a list of "top ten" searches in 31 markets across the US. And coming in at #3 for Chicago...

Word has spread from barstool to barstool that St. Petersburg's iconic Garden Bistro , the city's oldest restaurant and Tampa Bay's oldest jazz venue, is closing. A two-week notice was given recently to The Garden's employees, many of whom have worked at the restaurant for years. I have yet to confirm the details of the restaurant's closing with The Garden's owners, but it is likely the restaurant's...

Operation Augustus in modern fiction continues here, with the only other modern novel (that I am aware of) which explicitly and straightforwardly sets out to tell the full life story of the emperor Augustus. I'm reviewing it here as much for my own future reference as for anyone else who might be reading, so apologies in advance for the ridiculous length and pedantic details like specific page references...

It seems like the past few weeks have been flying by. I doesn't seem like I have had a moment to just sit down and chill. Between work and working on the house, I haven't had a whole lot of time for anything else. So, the few rides I've done I tried to make the best of. Last Sunday I did manage a nice 4 Park ride from my house. A small group met at Matt's and John Williams and I rode from here. It...

I was in the audience at the Bell Center last night, and what a performance! This is a "must see" for all John Williams fans! And for Star Wars fans, of course! Sure, every single person is already won over from the very first note. But there's no denying the quality of the gig. I could have done without the sound effects while the symphony orchestra was playing, but overall it was a memorable...

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10401633-233.html Having become fairly disenfranchised with all things Star Wars over the years, I didn't really expect to like Star Wars: Trench Run . And really, the new game from THQ is little more than two kinds of arcade sequences sprinkled with a few familiar cutscenes. So why can't I stop playing it? Because Trench Run ($4.99) is a little slice of Star Wars...

While 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York' features a (mostly recycled) John Williams score, and no soundtrack, Stealers Wheel's Stuck in the Middle With You would make quite an appropriate song choice, considering...

Trench Run is based around the Rebel assault on the Death Star at the end of George Lucas’ classic 1977 movie. Piloting an X-Wing [...]

The Rap Sheet (Free subscription) | 23/11/2009
Mystery and music fight for space in my life, and music is gaining. I was fortunate enough to be sent an early copy (by Nicholas Latimer at Knopf, one of the best book publicists and enthusiasts in the business) of The Complete Lyrics of Johnny Mercer . And the icing on my cake was the DVD, Johnny Mercer: The Dream’s on Me , co-produced by Clint Eastwood, written and directed by Bruce Ricker,...
