“.. a nagging worry is beginning to grow louder on Wall Street: What if these kinds of collapses, capable of taking bonds from par to cents on the dollar in a matter of days or weeks, are not an aberration after all?” 👀

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink

A handful of journalists rebel against a hedge fund that is gutting newspapers nationwide.

At 76, cabaret artist Joey Arias’s resume reads like the movie Big Fish. The tales are almost too tall to believe, but he’s really done them all.

What an honor to help tell this legend's story.

Joey Arias has plenty of art left to give: 'I want to live to be at least 200 years'

Decades of metamorphosis and drag performer Joey Arias is far from his final form.
