Noah Marlowe has a day job. It happens at night, most of the time, but it’s still his day job. Noah is in the company of the Broadway musical play The Book of Mormon, on 49th Street in Midtown Manhattan. But last night, just five blocks uptown, Noah was doing a little moonlighting in a basement nightclub called 54 Below. His job for the evening: making his solo show debut.

Brown poem, ‘Slim Greer in Hell.’ The story of a Faustian bargain made with St. Peter at the pearly gates in exchange for one more earthly adventure, it’s a sly contemplation of the meaningless deals we make to endure when we all know what’s inevitable.

Virginia-born, LA-based multidisciplinary artist Kate Bollinger is back with “What’s This About (La La La La),” the baroque-styled opener from her long awaited kaleidoscopic debut album Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind, due September 27th on Ghostly International. The new track follows previously-released album previews “To Your Own Devices” and “Any Day Now,” and finds Bollinger conjuring a sense of cartoonish whimsy that places her in league with the mystical pop greats of the Elephant 6 Collective, a scene whose idiosyncratic spin on the classic rock era helped inform the patchwork sprawl of her record.

When the summer tour of Daryl Hall and Elvis Costello was announced, I first thought Declan MacManus was opting to fill the slot of Hall’s former partner. After all, he’s performed in many guises over the years, from his famous stage name to The Imposter to Napoleon Dynamite (before the movie of the same name). So why not John Oates?
