...matches began at 9 a.m. and were of the regular best-of-five format, unlike other all-day tournaments that shorten the contests to best-of-three. With only a fifteen-minute break between matches, every ounce of energy had to be conserved...
Whether that single glimmer of passion is worth trudging through fifteen minutes of auditory rice pudding is debatable. At four tracks each, the cost-benefit ratio of both EPs may be too high for all but the most die-hard obsessives -- who probably already own both of them. Since two songs from each EP are slated to be on the soon-to-be-released full-length album Milk and Kisses, the best bet is probably to wait until then...
Frequent character transitions are necessary to pull off so many monologues, but this has the added affect of focussing attention on the actor as an actor and calling the character's credibility into question.

For a man whose work seemed hopelessly mired in subculture, Mapplethorpe bridged a lot of cultural gaps. His most recent incarnation as a kind of Ansel Adams for the East Village set well served the artist's quest for superstardom. Familiarity may breed contempt, but it also tends to breed, well, familiarity. The socially acceptable Mapplethorpe, particularly his sedate though well-rendered floral photographs, is still cropping...
