Editor’s Pick: Two Matchsticks

Greco Romano — Sun, 20 May 2012 10:46:56 +0000

What can you do with two matchsticks? You can start a fire in the wood if its cold and damp or to burn some marshmallows. You can keep them dry when you’re hiking and you need to light a flare if you need help. You can keep them tucked away in your pocket or light a stove. You can also buy this album by The Wooden Birds and be grateful it’s spring.

For Artist Josh Alexander an injury, the passion for illustration and the need for recovery produced this series of works where the lines drawn are as strong and hurt as the muscles that tear and open once wounded. It is the essence of women and the hurt that they feel when dancing ballet or giving birth or the pain of an artist ready to walk again.

Greco’s Mushroom and Steak

Greco Romano — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 10:46:45 +0000

Hello everyone. Today I will offer my recipe for preparing Mushroom and Steak. You will need to pour some Olive Oil on a skillet and gently fry pieces of pepper steak or cube round steak and mushrooms. You can get both organic. You need to place the meat first on the skillet as it takes more time to cook and once the redness starts to dissipate place the mushrooms which can be cut in half should you have bought whole mushrooms. You will see that the mushrooms get much smaller as the meat turns a dark brown. Don’t look at the cooking process too much for if you do the ingredients won’t cook (at least that’s what they say). After the meat and mushrooms have cooked place some spinach on it and remember to add olive oil at anytime during the cooking process should you feel that oil is lacking. The spinach will slowly become much smaller and when it does pour in your favorite steak sauce of which there are many. Wait for the sauce to pop or boil. To use as a side you can cook some rice, potatoes or carrots. Your main course is meat and even bread and butter will suit nicely as accompaniment. Invite some friends over and make sure someone brings something to drink. When all is served enjoy look out the window and put on some music.

Editor’s Pick: Orbus Terrarum

Greco Romano — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:24:16 +0000

Famously known as The Orb’s Jazz Album (they even had a live drum player while on tour for this release) it is The Orb’s toughest one to digest. At least in one sitting. Listen to it while you drink your coffee in the morning waiting for the sunrise or while drinking water as the sun sets expecting that phone call and like music that The Orb usually does it will take you on a trip that can last for centuries.

R.I.P. Tom “T-Bone” Wolk

Greco Romano — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 17:57:26 +0000

The Bass Guitar is one of the greatest instruments ever created. You’ve heard Tom “T-Bone” Wolk play it on vinyl, CD’s or Mp3′s on legendary recordings by Hall and Oates, Squeeze, Guy Davis or Elvis Costello. If you were lucky you remember him playing live on TV with the groove the so may musicians seek and only some find. Tom passed away on February 28th 2010 and the world is a much less groovier place without him.

Rest in Peace brother.

NowhereNauts

Greco Romano — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 08:26:22 +0000

Permanent Records (www.permanentrecords.info) located at 181 Franklin St. Greenpoint, NY will have a special in-store performance by The NowhereNauts this August 12th 2011 at 7pm free of charge.

On June 17th 2011 while setting up for the show by The Black Swans our unique New York City weather of heat, humidity, thunder and rain produced one of the prettiest sites known to mankind: a rainbow with a dark sky as it’s backdrop. I immediately remembered Ronnie James Dio who recently passed away (7.10.1942 – 5.16.2010) and his great song “Rainbow in the dark”. I hope he is taking care of us from heaven. Enjoy.

The Sunshine Factory

Greco Romano — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 11:47:38 +0000

Can a Factory be a Warehouse? Yes, especially if you don’t know what’s in store and upon entering this warehouse created by a factory filled with sunshine, love is what you find. Beautiful music. Crystalline. Pure. Repetitive. Monotonous. That is what The Sunshine Factory promises and delivers. I met the very talented band and was privileged to record them live. In the beauty of their youth. In the power of their sound. We were all inspired.
