An Interview with Juliana Frangella about her album "Fantastic Funeral"

The first time I saw Juliana Frangella perform on stage she was opening for a Mike Montrey record release show at the Belmar Arts Center. I loved the way she looked like the girl next door, but sang lyrics that were completely unexpected. It was clear there was more to this artist beneath the surface. She's been releasing singles from her upcoming album, Fantastic Funeral, which has a rock side and a folk side, and I reached out to her to learn more.



Katchats about the famous Camino de Santiago

Have you ever had a place far far away in your conscience? Not quite sure when or why? I have always wondered what it would be like to walk the Camino. Camino comes from caminar in Spanish, to walk. Camino can also mean road, track, path or way. Camino is most famously associated with the, "Camino de Santiago", (way of St. James), which is a historical long-distance walking pilgrimage.



New Release Review - "Frankenstein"

"It's alive!" Well, barely. Guillermo del Toro's pointless adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is Robert Eggers' Nosferatu all over again, a sumptuous but redundant retelling of a tale told 200 times too many. The writer/director has been trying to get this film made for three decades, and anyone familiar with his career knows of del Toro's fondness for monsters. But aside from his trademark over the top violence, del Toro has brought nothing new to the table here. His Frankenstein is twice as long as James Whale's and over an hour longer than Terence Fisher's, but it lacks the depth of either of those classics.

New Release Review - "Nuremberg"

Given its subject matter, you might expect writer/director James Vanderbilt's Nuremberg to be another awards bait snoozer, the sort of film schoolkids will be forced to sit through when their History teacher wants to catch up on correcting homework. But Vanderbilt is the screenwriter responsible for David Fincher's Zodiac, arguably the best movie based on real events to come out of Hollywood this century. By narrowing his focus on two men, Vanderbilt has crafted a riveting film that grounds a global spectacle in the brief relationship between these two figures.

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...11/13/25

"I'm packing up the new Renaissance CD from the last tour we recorded live. I've got a little cottage industry here, I'm completely involved in it; I think that tells you everything, it's fine but just a lot of work," laughed the quintessential female progressive rock voice Annie Haslam as she discussed a reunion of original band mates for their upcoming "History of Renaissance" series of shows; one of which is November 28 at the Newton Theatre in NJ and November 29 at the Lansdowne Theater in PA.



Tatyana Kazakova: "Afterland"

Artists have been rebelling against the frame for a long time. Painters put borders around their pictures and are immediately filled with an overwhelming urge to shatter them. Never mind that it is the artist herself who imposes the limits. Her images push hard against the lines that confine them anyway. Sometimes the pot boils over and the work spills over the frame and into the white space beyond, or drips down the edges and on to the walls.
