Monday, September 19, 2005 VERY BARRYfor this BEE GEES fan, the past month has been a welcome lollapalooza. it started in MOSCOW with my discovery of "magnet", a 2003 ROBIN GIBB solo album that apparently never surfaced stateside. a week later, CONOR, one of my blog readers in TOKYO, found me a factory sealed cd of the forgotten BEE GEES album "living eyes". now comes the 25 anniversary edition of "guilty", BARBRA'S 12X platinum BROTHERS GIBB extravaganza, and it's brand new sequel (aptly entitled) "guilty pleasures". i received "guilty pleasures" one week prior to it's upcoming tuesday release and it hasn't left my IPOD playlist. it's marvelous! an instant classic. no guilt, all pleasure. i heard about the new BARBRA / BARRY project 3 months ago, and i've been ecstatic with anticipation ever since. my favorite cuts are "come tomorrow", "night of my life", "it's up to you" and STREISAND'S cover of ANDY GIBB'S "(our love) don't throw it all away". run out a buy this cd on september 20th. THE DARKER THE BERRY... i did a show saturday night in ASBURY PARK, NEW JERSEY and i had a tit twistin' good time. my favorite part of the evening was when i told the crowd at CIRCUIT that "of all the berries in the berry family, the ass berry is the sweetest... and the juiciest!". THE NEW YORK MUSICAL THEATRE FESTIVAL sunday night, GUS MATTOX took me to see "...but i'm a cheerleader: the musical". it was terrific! the cast was awesome, especially BLAIR ROSS who plays "mary", and JOHN HILL who steals every scene as "rock". i have to admit it was very strange for me to see someone else play "mike", the role i originated in the film version, but KEVIN-ANTHONY did a fantastic job and has a beautiful voice. also in the audience from the film version, director JAMIE BABBIT, producer ANDREA SPERLING, original screenplay BRIAN WAYNE PETERSON and "joel" JOEL MICHAELY. . | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
