"Newcastle" World Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival - April 2008In April, 2008, I attended the World Premiere of Newcastle at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. After the screening I sat down with the actors and filmmakers to discuss this provocative Australian indie. Present were writer/director Dan Castle and cast members Xavier Samuel, Lachlan Buchanan, Israel Cannan, Kirk Jenkins, and Debra Ades. There were two reporters there from Australia so you'll hear questions from them as well.
Here is my review:

- Metropolis - Mary Go Round
Metropolis was a rock band based in Palmyra, New Jersey. While a DJ at WMMR Radio in the 80s and 90s in Philadelphia I also managed bands and produced records. These guys approached me one night at a Philly club and told me they were in need of a manager. One look and listen and I was convinced. This song was lost in the annals of time but just resurfaced thanks to the band's lead singer and songwriter Daniel Taylor who tracked me down. I think it still holds up even after about 25 years. It's really just a demo and was meant to be played on the radio -- it was never pressed or distributed -- so it's a bit rough around the edges but that chorus cannot be denied.
This recording is of a radio show called Street Beat that was hosted by Cyndy Drue on WMMR. She played it during a special series on "How to Get Signed." The song comes in at :48. Hope you enjoy!
