Akhil Anilkumar’s ‘Thalavara’, with Arjun Ashokan, is a feel-good drama about a man with vitiligo

The rest of this review may contain spoilers. In Thalavara, Arjun Ashokan plays Jyothish. He has an older friend named Shyam, who is called “oldie” by their group […]

Remembering Merritt Butrick
The life and career of Merritt Butrick (1959-1989) were both short, but I’m just the right age to have witnessed his time of peak fame, which occurred (most unusually) at the start of his career. Butrick’s big moment in the sun occurred from 1982 to 1984, when he played the role of new-wave loving Johnny […]

The Hank Thompson Centennial
Born 100 years ago today, country artist Hank Thompson (1925-2007). Not nearly as big a name as Hank Williams or Hank Snow, awareness of Thompson broke through to the mainstream in a big way when the story of his later years was fictionalized in Thomas Cobb’s 1987 novel Crazy Heart, which then became Scott Cooper’s […]

THE MARSH FAMILY – Gaza | Adaptation of “Iris” | The Goo Goo Dolls (2025)
This song speaks for itself really. It treats difficult subject matter, but is not intended to offend or inflame – rather to highlight suffering and injustice. We released a song in support of the work of the International Red Cross and their Israel/Gaza appeal in December 2023.
