only son's residency at bowery electric
Read about Jack on my blog posting HERE
On the 7th, he'll be playing with Reggie Watts, who is also fantastic. The show should be amazeballs:
help the dead trees make a killer LP!
Back in January, I had the chance to write a little blog posting and make this funny little video on the Dead Trees.
In the video, Michael Ian Cummings and Noah Rubin proclaim:
"We're making a new album..."
"... the rumors are true!"
And now, nearly three months later, the album has been recorded, impressively being produced by noah georgeson, and
is nearly ready to be finished!
is nearly ready to be finished!
.... But there's more! They need you're help!

read some of please kill me
fell asleep
woke up
roma:
dropped our stuff off at the excelsior
walked to eat a light lunch around the corner
walked to the spanish steps, and then onto the trevi, where we had our reunion with little farrell

roma:
my parents and sister spend the day at the vatican and sistine chapel
I decide I need the day to myself alone
so I listen to everything from Nirvana to The Kinks to Tom Petty and just watch every detail as the city moves around me
meet up with my parents and sister, have a killer dinner of buff mozz, grilled white fish and artichoke hearts
I pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow

What was I doing at age 12? Making videos, and being a literal dork of course. Some things never change.
This one was a school project for my social studies class. Written and directed by me of course. Dad (Dr. Bob) assisted. Special appearance by my broken armed eight year old sister, Chrissy Farrell. Looks like an audition for reading rainbow.

Every now and then I get really nostalgic for my days of theekdom.
Broadway is dying! I love me my musicals.
MUSICALS (contemporary)
1. The Last Five Years (Jason Robert Brown)
Perhaps one of the best musicals written, in my opinion... no words... just songs. Telling the story of a five year marriage, he tells the story from beginning to the end, and she, from the end to the beginning. The two lovers cross paths only once (in the middle of the musical)...
Jason Robert Brown just might be one of the most skilled broadway composers and pianists of the past ten years. His devotion to the craft is beyond. Of the three performances I saw, he accompanied the show on piano in all.
2. Aida (Elton John and Tim Rice)
Elton John collaborates with a genius on a musical that tells an ancient story widely known as just an opera- what else needs to be said? And add three powerhouse leads? Magic.

3. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
What happens when adults play children.... I applaud actors "that can sing."
I had the chance to see my friend Deborah Craig (from when I worked on Six Degrees) perform with the original cast. Brilliant. Sadly, we lost touch... but what I would have done to play either her character or Olive Ostrovsky.
4. Spring Awakening (Duncan Shiek)
I remember when I was helping out at Sh-K-Boom records back in the day and this was "in the works."
5. Wicked
Idina Menzel is god, and this whole musical was magical. Make it a movie, already!
6. Rent (Jonathan Larson)theek = theatre + geek
