Song of the Week: Love, For Want of a Lesser Word

Only fitting that we kick off our new "song of the week" feature with the latest jam from an old friend...

"Love, For Want of a Lesser Word," from the Gena Rowlands Band, off their soon to be released Flesh and Spirits (Lujo Records, 2007).

This has all sorts of RH-contributor love to it -- Bob Massey fronts Gena Rowlands Band, David Durst plays keys here and on many of Bob's ventures, and David Wilson is behind the camera. But this ain't no nepotism it is pure rock.

Ed note: Used to be, you couldn't go a handful of days in DC without bumping into some local kid banging out go go beats on a couple overturned buckets. Haven't seen that in a long while.

To Jon: The Museum with Wings

Katherine Gorman

I was telling my friend Jon I was going to see a museum with wings in Milwaukee, and he was all "Wha...?" so I made him this postcard.

[Ed note: It starts with a black screen and then a slow fade in -- don't be fooled into thinking the video ain't working.]

Some backstory from RH (we actually did homework!): This is the Quadracci Pavilion at the Milwauke Museum of Art, designed by Santiago Calatrava (opened 2001). And those wings actually move up and down! More >

Now we see that life would be much cooler if we had filmmaker friends.
