Cecilia here. So, the offices described for “BNC Records” are the offices of what was RCA Records back in the day. I didn’t change anything.
RCA started out as Radio Corporation of America in the 1920s and when I first set foot in their offices in 1984 they hadn’t yet been through the mega-mergers and acquisitions [...]

A couple of people have commented here and there about how crazy all the music biz stuff seems. All I can say is, yeah. There’s an element of random luck in there, mixed with a kind of karmic flow of who you know and where you were at the right or wrong time. So little [...]

Okay, C. had her say last time. My turn now. I have no politics or history to regale you with. Just COOL STUFF.
See The Runaways movie. I was totally blown away by how Kristin Stewart IS Joan Jett. Holy crap. And I mean not just looks like her, sounds like her, but plays the [...]
Hey ho, Cecilia here. Daron’s feeling anti-social today, so I’ll make the notes. I figure now’s my chance to post some things that will make him cringe! *evil laugh*
First, some moments in history I bear in mind:
May 1983: The Hunger, starring Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie, is screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Deneuve’s [...]
Okay, time for a liner note, if for no other reason than OH MY GOD FOLKS WE DID IT! We won the 2010 Rose and Bay Award for crowdfunded fiction!
I say “we” because this really is a group project, and it was followers/readers like you who voted for DGC to win the award. I’m humbled [...]

So, once upon a time there was a 2-3 block section of Washington Street in downtown Boston that was known as the “Combat Zone.” There were a couple of XXX theaters, a peep show, and some “adult bookstores” (i.e. video stores that also sold a smattering of overpriced sex toys and such). They’re all gone [...]

I walked through Kenmore Square recently and man, that place has really snazzed up since I lived in the neighborhood. Not one but BOTH pizza places where I used to eat (Captain Nemo’s and the other one whose name I’ve forgotten) are gone. There’s a shiny new hotel taking up one whole block and an [...]
Yeah, hi, so she and I have been arguing over who is going to write these liner notes and I won. For once. God, these authors, you’d think they wanted to control everything. I might let her write some later. I won’t jump in with these too often because after all you’re supposed to be [...]
