I write reviews for Goatdog's Movies; edit and/or proofread circuit court decisions, advertising copy, and the occasional book; run the projector at and help program films for a revival house in Chicago; help make documentaries at an indie film studio; and, recently, make artistamps.

Year of Meteors by Laura Veirs. Intricate, intelligent, melodic alt-pop.

What I'm listening to now

Trouble Is My Business by Raymond Chandler. Four Philip Marlowe stories, sort of like espresso to Chandler's usual rich coffee. Although I don't like coffee, so never mind the analogy.

A Negro Explorer at the North Pole by Matthew Henson. He might have been the first non-Inuit to the north pole, depending on who you listen to.

Movies on Trial: The Legal System on the Silver Screen by Anthony Chase. A really well-crafted film history that necessarily delves into the history of the legal system. Pretty enlightening stuff.
