John DavidsonFeatures Visual ArtsThe Lost Generation and the Art of Living[12.Oct.07] :. Sara and Gerald Murphy inspired an astonishing array of the century’s greatest writers and artists; they helped float, inspire, and otherwise sustain the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Picasso, Ferdinand Leger, Man Ray, Cole Porter, John Dos Passos and Dorothy Parker, to name but a few.  MusicFactory Bloke: Tony Wilson 1950-2007[15.Aug.07] :. He was a (expletive) who incited invective, but he stuck to principle and remained true to his Factory ideal: "The artists own everything, we own nothing."  SportsBecks Chooses Life[17.Jan.07] :. As a football fan, you can’t help feel that, somewhere along the line, it didn’t happen on the field in quite the way that it should have.  BooksLouise Brooks at 100: Interview with Peter Cowie[16.Nov.06] :. "One learned to take with a pinch of salt some of her assertions about people from the silent period. Sometimes it wasn't just her memory failing, it was a liberal attempt to build history in her own image." PopMatters talks to Peter Cowie, author of Louise Brooks: Lulu Forever. Reviews BooksLegends of the Chelsea Hotel by Ed Hamilton[21.Nov.07] :. So there you have it. Ryan Adams at the Chelsea -- maybe.  EventsUnderworld[28.Sep.07] :. Karl Hyde is not intent on slipping into the comfy chair just yet. Instead, he's donning a sparkly, silver-sequined jacket that begs the question: is all that glimmers really gold?  MusicUnderworld: The Riverrun Project[17.Aug.06] :. Whether they've truly subverted the label dynamic by going online-only, or simply succumbed to the long fade of dance music, this three-piece-suite offers both the best and most dreary of Underworld's once-vital work.  BooksThis Book Will Save Your Life by A.M. Homes[30.May.06] :. In any city except Los Angeles such characters grouped together might seem ridiculous, yet one of the ways in which this city undermines fiction is that it defies all attempts to invent the improbable.  BooksVeronica by Mary Gaitskill[2.Dec.05] :. Sex may be a physical act, but it's a psychological response. In this respect then, Gaitskill is an author of interiors.
