...Sarah believes that music is mostly about the communication betwwen differnt people, “ between the performers, the composer and the audience members.” Some people like to communicate through their writing and others through painting, for Sarah, communication comes in the form of a Bach sonata...
...bunch. Co-directed by the novelist Virginie Despentes and Coralie Trinh Thi, who has worked in the French porn industry, it employs real hard-core scenes, many of them brutal, to illustrate its story of two gals on the run.

All of these things notwithstanding, renderings of “A Shot in the Arm” and “She’s a Jar” were surprisingly good (though, again, organ layers were uncharacteristically weak) and new drummer Glen...
