Four years from now, Vicky’s keyboard will be stained with the sugar-coated apple juice drips of late nights spent in another newsroom, this time of the Baltimore Sun. She gets a job immediately after graduation as a reporter on the Sun’s metro beat and she makes it her mission to know Baltimore like she has lived there all her life. Vicky “Talent” Hallett always knew that she would stay on the East Coast and Baltimore proved perfect with its off-Broadway plays, harbor, and close proximity to family...
Despite a slight technical difficulty with his “circa 1982...Depeche Mode” keyboard (it died) during “Last Night’s Dream,” Trapper managed a near-perfect set. The keyboard he found in his attic was not the only surprise instrument that Trapper pulled out during his Passim stint—warning the audience that he was “about to prove how much of a white-trash hick I am,” Trapper risked “be[ing] kicked out of the band?...

Tannenbaum also contributed one of the evening’s more poignant moments, a fractured version of “Happy Birthday” before the band gave it an abbreviated dirty funk...
...Spinning Gasing refuses to descend into art-house glumness. Whenever the plot shows signs of faltering, the campy keyboard player is summoned for another one-liner. (Such as: "It's so anal being straight!") There are enough inside jokes to keep Malaysian audiences happy without alienating international ones. It is Malaysia's first motion picture shot almost completely in English, and U.S. giant Columbia TriStar plans to distribute it in Singapore later this year and possibly throughout Asia...
