...self-produced this album, but you worked very closely with Ryan Francesconi, who arranged the songs, and Neal Morgan who did the percussion. How much input did they have? They were there from the beginning. Ryan and Neal came to my house and we crawled through the songs bar by bar. We talked a lot about meaning and mood and thematic stuff, going into some awkward realms of discussions. I find it awkward to talk about song meaning. The way we got around that awkwardness was for Ryan to interview me. Somewhere he must have some very incriminating piles...
...49th birthday (to count Gibbs' way), I can appreciate every single one of her comments about birthdays through the ages [Feb. 8]. Replace the 4 1/2 birthday party memory, however, with the one surprise party I ever had: twelve 12-year-olds hidden in our basement as I came home from the hairdresser, to celebrate my 12th. Gibbs paints so many perfect pictures, from the birth of a child with "no instruction manual, no warranty" to the middle-age years "when we are suspended between twin poles" of the needs of our parents and children. It's comforting to know...
...films have been competing with each other ever since they premiered at last May's Cannes Film Festival, where The White Ribbon took first prize and A Prophet came in second. Haneke's picture is high-brow caviar, while Audiard's is more a crowd pleaser. On Saturday, The White Ribbon won the top award from the American Society of Cinematographers, beating Avatar, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds and Nine and solidifying its chances to win the Oscar in this category. Ah, but a week ago, at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, A Prophet beat...
...ultimate confirmation of my suspicions came from John Powers, the Boston Globe's esteemed Olympics writer who has covered 17 Games, starting with Montreal in 1976. Since then, he has missed only one Olympics, Moscow in 1980, which the U.S. boycotted. I asked him if Vancouver is setting Olympic records for revelry. "It is, by far," he said. "There's just a couple of thousand people every night with nothing to do, no tickets, concentrated downtown. It's their chance to live the dream." (See 25 Winter Olympic athletes to watch...
...resident remembered a minor tsunami from decades ago, how it sucked the water out of a canal and then came back as a six-inch wall of water. "It didn't crest or foam," he recalled, "it was a wall." Locals in Hawaii know which areas to worry about when a tsunami warning goes off. Phonebooks have maps in the front indicating the likeliest inundation zones. Authorities also know which harbors to evacuate. That's why as soon as state officials were notified about the tsunami rippling out from the quake in Chile, ships were evacuated from the harbors...
