Just imagine you're sitting in your own living room and it's nice and cozy and quiet, and across from you in two comfy chairs are Dion DiMucci and Steven Van Zandt talking, for 90 minutes, about Dion's long and amazing career. That's what it felt like last Sunday night at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan, as Van Zandt engaged DiMucci in conversation about everything from the songs that excited him on the radio as a child, to the time that Jerry Lieber called him "the best white blues singer he had ever heard." This remarkable evening was part of the 92Y's lecture series and is yet another reason why, if you have some spare cash lying around, you should put it into an envelope and send it their way.

The exhibition for The Queen's Diamond Jubilee held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, illustrates a long period in the history of England through the portraits of young Elizabeth realized by Cecil Beaton from the '30s to the '60s.
Â
Everything had started years earlier, when Elizabeth, Queen Consort of King George VI, appointed Cecil Beaton to take portraits of the family and the very young princesses, as Cecil Beaton recalled in his diaries. Besides the pictures, letters, notes and invitations illustrate the long-lasting friendships, which bonded the queen to her favorite photographer.

We first checked in with filmmaker Lucas McNelly last July, just four months into his project A Year Without Rent. For a year, McNelly has been acting as the indie film world's embedded journalist, traveling around the country and beyond and working for free on just about any project that would have him.
Read Turnstyle News on FLUD's social reader.
His role as an embedded journalist means that he sometimes painted projects in a less than flattering light, which he thinks made some filmmakers reluctant to bring him on board.
