Sunday Evening Video: Moonage Daydream: The Bowie Songbook
December 30, 2012 by Rudy PanucciRemember fifty-two weeks ago? I’m talking about the first Sunday Evening Video of 2012 here in PopCult,, It was a rough video clip of one song from Ryan hardiman’s Good Night performance the evening before that only presented one camera angle. Ryan had performed “Moonage Daydream: The Bowie Songbook” at Trinity Lutheran Church, joined by Mark Scarpelli, Maddy Gourevich, Molly Lynn page, Kristi Holstein, Alasha Al Qudwah and Shawn Simms.
We brought you “Absolute Beginners” from that night, and promised that we would present a full, three camera version of the show in a few weeks. Unfortunately, we encountered one of our periodic Radio Free Charleston computer meltdowns shotly after that, and Ryan’s night of Bowie kept getting shuffled further back on the burners.
Well, since Ryan will be reprising his take on the Bowie songbook again Monday night at Trinity Lutheran Church at 7 and 9 PM, with the same group of talented musicans joining him, we decided to sacrifice a rare Saturday off from video editing and stitch together this year-old night of magic. It holds up very well and I hope it persuades some of you to go hear Ryan and crew live. As a bonus, at 6 and 8 PM at Trinity, you can hear Mark Scarpelli backing up RFC guest Jonathan Tucker for a set of Josh Groban tunes.
Well, That Didn’t Seem To Take Long

2012: The Blur In Review
Maybe it’s my ever-advancing age, but time seems to be moving faster these days. We are at the end of another year, yet it seems like 2012 only lasted a month.
Since we do our official PopCult year-in-review column at the beginning of the year (come back next week for our look back at 2013) this week we are going to take an unofficial, hap-hazard, leisurely, stream-of-concsiousness look back at a pretty good year that flew by way too fast, with a nod or two to how that might affect the new year that’s coming at us like a speeding train.

The Final ArtWalk Photo Essay Of 2012
December 21, 2012 by Rudy PanucciThe PopCulteer
December 21, 2012
Last night saw the final ArtWalk of 2012. Not only was it a fun ArtWalk, but it was also a great opportunity for last minute Christmas shopping. In fact, most of the shops and galleries that we’ll show you today will be open Friday and Saturday and possibly even on Monday for last minute gift ideas.
And remember if you shop local, you don’t have to pay shipping charges and if you get somebody a brass monkey holding a plunger, it’s much easier for them to return it.
We made it to many of the galleries and shops that were open last night, but not all of them, so why don’t you get yourselves to Downtown Charleston and explore it on your own?
This is just a rough guide. Having said that, let’s start with the ArtWalk photo essay…
