...prize turkey gets surgery. A choir needs a pianist. Small stuff makes headlines at the "Wheatstone Mercury," a provincial English newspaper and the locus of Andi Watson's "Slow News Day" (Slave Labor Graphics; 24pp.; $3.50each) whose sixth and final issue appeared last week. Watson has simultaneously released a single-issue novella, "Dumped" (Oni Press; 56pp.; $5.95), which along with SND and last year's "Breakfast After Noon," (see TIME.comix review) make a loose trilogy about the lives of England's urban, middle-class singles. Just as the Mercury turns small events into front-page news, Watson makes smart...
...mercifully unique sensibility. In the song from his Grammy-winning album The Marshall Mathers LP, released in 2000, the eager-to-offend rapper fantasizes about raping his mother and killing women not related to him. The melody to Kill You, however, is being claimed by someone else. French jazz pianist and composer Jacques Loussier, whose works seem to draw more from Bach and Vivaldi than from John Wayne Gacy, has filed a copyright-infringement suit alleging that Kill You lifts portions of Loussier's 20-year-old song Pulsion. The Frenchman is seeking $10 million and the destruction...
DIED. DUDLEY MOORE, 66, 5-ft. 2-in. British actor whose droopy-eyed, self-effacing manner made him an unlikely Hollywood heartthrob; of pneumonia, stemming from progressive supranuclear palsy, a rare brain disease; in Plainfield, N.J. A talented classical and jazz pianist, Moore was best known for his roles in the 1979 movie 10 (which he nabbed after meeting director Blake Edwards in a therapy group) and the 1981 film Arthur, in which he played a sweet, wealthy drunk. Spurred to perform by a sense of inferiority stemming in part from a clubfoot, the working-class Moore said...
...teen, is bullied by schoolmate Hoshino, (Oshinara Shugo). Among other trials, he is forced to masturbate in front of five other boys. For solace, Yuichi listens to pop idol Lily Chou-Chou and constructs his own identity in an online chat room devoted to her. Yuichi befriends a pianist named Yoko (Ayumi Ito) and she becomes his real-life Lily. But at bully Hoshino's command, Yoko is raped by a gang of the boys. She strips herself of femininity by shaving her head and wearing a coarse tweed cap to school, and Yuichi invests himself ever more deeply...
Leave it to the Beaux Arts Trio to get this fine balance just right. This superb ensemble, founded by pianist Menahem Pressler, performed trios by Schumann and Schubert to an astounded audience at the New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall on March 16 as part of FleetBoston’s Celebrity Series. It’s not often that a chamber group achieves “celebrity” status, but in the case of the Beaux Arts such success is entirely deserved. Despite juggling members in recent years (violinist Daniel Hope is so new he?...
