While the Christmas Season is great time of year for things like gift giving, gift re-giving, caroling, sleigh-riding, freezing your privates off, fruit cake disposal and throwing snowballs at the windshields of taxi cabs, it is sadly not the greatest time of year for unfettered, leather trouser-ruffling, rock'n'roll abandon by sneery, beer-swiggin' rock pigs. As that's my primary beat for the "Goings On About Town" section of The New Yorker, I'm afraid my contributions to this year-end issue make for some slim pickin's. Either that or they just didn't think much of the other stuff I'd submitted. Either way, I ended up penning the blurbs for upcomin' shows by Isle of Klezbos (an all-female Klezmer ouftit, wouldn't ya know), Reggie Watts, Eugene Mirman, Elysian Fields and the Black Crowes. The issue is readily available at your local news stand, but if you simply can't wait to press your eyeballs all over it, you can simply click here.
