In her sculptures-some carved in stone, some cast in metal-[Elizabeth Catlett]'s close attention to the nuances of material is an essential element of their success. "Mother and Child," a highly abstracted triangular shape comprised of a portrait bust of a woman in profile, contains the image of a child with its arms outstretched in the negative space of the hollowed interior of the mother's body. The glowingly translucent soft orange of the onyx from which it is carved transmits the physical closeness of mother and child. Catlett's bronzes reflect either a slightly textured, worked surface, as in "Seated Woman" (1987), or the smooth surfaced, mottled turquoise and black patina so evocative in "Star Gazer," where the effect is that the figure becomes a night sky herself, her shellinlaid...

Not surprisingly, the verbal votes tilt heavily toward porn songs. Fortunately, [Darren Finizio] has no shortage of them--bawdy numbers with lyrics lifted wholesale from the presumably semen-stained pages of glossy porn magazines, with titles like "Balls-a-Poppin," "Ass Attack" and "Cock-Crammed Cunt." Showing impeccable showbiz instincts, he elects to go with "Ass Attack." And it's hi-larious.
It's a couple of Sundays after the West Philly house party show and Darren and his parents are having dinner at their house in a Bensalem, a modest row home in an otherwise faceless suburban subdivision. "It's so boring out here," complains Darren's father, a dead ringer for Wayne Newton. "The city or the country--that's somewhere. The suburbs is nowhere. It's just in between.
If Darren's father...

FROMMERMANN
Holland-America Line (Channel Classics) Like the American men's sextet Hudson Shad, the Netherlands-based male ensemble Frommermann was inspired by the Comedian Harmonists. That Weimar Republic singing group, founded by Harry Frommermann, was a brilliant popular- music favorite in late-1920s and early-1930s Germany, until the rise of the Nazis forced the group's three Jewish members to flee, taking the comedy out of the Harmonists. The Frommermann ensemble dates from December 2004 and normally includes six singers and a pianist; for this perky, catchy, and all-around delicious CD, a guitarist was added to the mix. The repertoire includes many of the Harmonists' own specialties as well as songs with a particular focus on American and Dutch music of the 1930s and '40s, as it m...

After being devastated by Hurricane Katrina, the Gulf South struggles and faces a rebuilding effort not unlike the effort to rebuild the culture of the South after the legal walls of segregation had been struck down. The plight of the people after the hurricane is still mediated not only by class but also by color, the future is uncertain, and the ongoing identity of the Gulf South will be determined not only by how it will be rebuilt but also by how its past will be remembered. Here, Tretheway shares her thoughts on the effects of the hurricane and examines the underlying issues it has uncovered,
