...least the schadenfreude, begins later today with NBC's upfront at Radio City Music Hall. Don't touch that dial. There'll be plenty of time for that once the new shows actually premiere...
...upfronts, usually designed to put lipstick on the most porcine of network lineups, Zucker and new NBC programming chief Kevin Reilly, promised straight talk and candor -to a point. "We're not where you want us to be.

Barely out of the VCA, Lim was approached by Germany's Radio Bremen to create a new work for soprano and orchestra, and the febrile Voodoo Child (1989) was born. A flood of commissions followed, climaxing last year with her most ambitious work, Ecstatic Architecture, for the Los Angeles Philharmonic's inaugural season at the new Walt Disney Concert Hall. Inspired by Frank Gehry's gravity-defying architecture, the piece saw Lim's musical standing soar. In November, the Festival D'Automne in Paris...
