While we mourn the tragic downfall of human civilization
Let me just grab my pearls so I can clutch them properly while we mourn the tragic downfall of human civilization—courtesy of a slightly off-kilter hi-hat loop and a vocal snippet some producer found on a dusty hard drive. You’re telling me that some of these original songs weren’t exactly Thriller to begin with? Shocking. Truly. But you’re right—taking a so-so track from 1982 and draining every…
Truth!
Oh, please, everyone stop the presses. Here we have a Dutch television interview with my mom—clearly the ultimate, unbiased authority on my artistic genius—that apparently single-handedly dismantles all those nasty German commentaries and stories. Because nothing says “hard-hitting rebuttal” like a mother’s opinion on camera. At the time of this momentous interview, just to set the record…
AI MAKES THE PICTURES, REAL HUMANS MAKE THE SOUNDS!!! by Eric van Aro
So apparently, I’m from that old generation — you know, the one that actually had the balls to walk onto a stage, sweat a little, and present live material to an audience that came to listen and watch what a performer of pop or jazz had to give. Wild concept, I know. Unfortunately, if I were to go back on stage today, I’d basically be working for cellphones. And I have absolutely nothing in…
In Defense of Restraint: When Did "Over the Top" Become the Only Option? by Eric van Aro
Look around. Go ahead. Scroll, drive, walk through a store, or even—as I recently did—wade into the ocean to swim with stingrays. Wherever we look, things feel… amplified. Amplified to the point of distortion. Genders, politicians, singers, non-talented celebrities, wildly talented artists, business gurus, advertisements, comment sections, fashion, fingernails, eyelashes, makeup, hairdos,…

Oh, the Caribbean sea
Ah, the old “no news is good news” gambit. We’re leaning on it heavily lately, because things have been quieter than a librarian at a silent retreat. The Eric van Aro Quartet record dropped, and since then… crickets doing yoga. That said, if you fancy a little limited-edition vinyl magic, a few stray copies are still lurking at tondomusic.com. Click “search.” You know the drill. We believe in…

Why do I take Trump’s government taking over the USA personally? by Eric van Aro
Because the United States wasn’t just a country to my family. It was a promise. My father deserted the Nazis and became a prisoner of war. After escaping that nightmare, he picked up drumsticks and juggling pins and went to work for American clubs across Europe—not out of convenience, but out of belief. Belief in a country that stood for something better. My mother and her family became the most…

The GREATEST?
OH, FOR FUCK’S SAKE. ANOTHER BEST-OF LIST? ANOTHER “GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME” POLL? ANOTHER ROCK HALL INDUCTEE THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN IN TWENTY YEARS AGO WHILE SOME GENIUS ROTS IN THE “SNUBBED” SECTION? Let us—the fans of Streisand, Minnelli, Gino Vanelli, Mina, Mel Tormé, Ella, Kurt Elling, Led Zeppelin, Chaka Khan, Claus Ogerman, Quincy Jones, Vince Mendoza, Pat Metheny, and our literal mother…
Playful, Gritty, and Unpolished:
Eric Van Aro Lets the Music Breathe on a Fearless New Release by Adam Bailey • Reviews • 05 April 2026 There is something undeniably gutsy about a jazz singer taking on Alice Cooper, but Eric Van Aro has never been one to play it safe. On his latest quartet release, a strictly limited, vinyl only affair recorded live to tape, Van Aro strips away the digital polish of the 21st century to…

The Lost Art of Musical Restraint: A Critical Opinion on Contemporary Vocal Technique by Eric van Aro
Like many viewers, I occasionally find myself on YouTube. To be candid, approximately ninety percent of the content I encounter lacks artistic merit. Yet every so often, one discovers a genuine surprise. Recently, I came across a video of Patti Austin performing a Bob Dylan song with a live band in front of an audience. The performance runs roughly eight minutes—far longer than what the current…
It’s Never Too Late for a Comeback: The Disappointments Returns for Season Two
It’s Never Too Late for a Comeback: The Disappointments Returns for Season Two There’s a new show that understands life doesn’t always go according to plan—and that sometimes, the best stories begin after sixty. The Disappointments is a comedic TV series with a simple but irresistible premise: three gay friends in their sixties who are single, broke, and desperately trying to turn their…

“Was sind das für Menschen , die solche Berufe ausüben? Die Sorte(sogenannte Journalisten) , die ihre eigene Großmutter auf dem Altar der eigenen Gier opfern würde. Menschen, deren einzige Erfüllung es ist, anderen ins Unglück zu wünschen. Kurz: die ekelhafteste Ausgabe des Homo sapiens.” Hier das Video hierzu: (c)2026 Topfvollgold
Oscar and his friends
It’s all just a line item now. A cost of doing business. You hear these numbers—$15 million allegedly spent to push a single film during “For Your Consideration” season—and you have to marvel at the grift. It’s not for you, the poor soul who actually buys a ticket. It’s an inside-baseball shibboleth. Full-page ads in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter aren’t read by the public; they’re read by…
Liza Minnelli: "Kids, wait till you hear this!"
I just finished listening “kids, wait till you hear this!” by my oh so beloved Liza. I’m not going to talk about whether the reading voice was enhanced by AI or not. I heard Liza, and I love it. I won’t go into scandals, and I won’t go into Substance Use Disorder—I had my share of that with my Dad. But I will go into the showbiz stuff… and it breaks my heart to learn how Liza has been stolen…

Dalla musica all'elettrodomestico: il mio personale viaggio a Sanremo via WhatsApp! di Eric van Aro
E così… eccomi qui a Londra, che mi godo una serata tranquilla, quando un amico mi manda un video del Festival di Sanremo. Una girl band con una cantante di belle speranze, ospite una signora che cantava anni fa, insieme massacrano una canzone rock già di per sé mediocre, per poi passare a “Whole Lotta Love” dei Led Zeppelin, nella solita, agghiacciante pronuncia inglese all’italiana, con la…
Billy and Bambi
Ah, yes. The artistic milieu—that gilded playground where one is granted the profound privilege of mingling with the “extraordinary.” How fortunate we are to have our minds forcibly pried open by such a dazzling array of bohemian spirits, each more fascinating than the last. It is, as they say, a wonderful world to be part of, a veritable feast of inspiration and belief. And then, one day, you…
