The Useless Critic 2.0

Golden Suits is the solo project of one Fred Nicolaus, who is best known for his work in the band Department of Eagles. His debut album as Golden Suits (name lifted from a John Cheever story) was released last month.  His debut album is getting pretty good reviews so far. And in order to make it, he went through a lot. And, of course, read a lot of Cheever. The album itself has a poppy, melodic 1970s folk vibe to it. It's pleasant to listen to. Golden Suits will be playing a free show at the Sail Inn tonight @ 9 p.m. I strongly recommend going. I asked him a few questions via email recently. Here are his responses (some of which are fairly ... interesting; you will see what I mean). Thanks Fred! UC: What's the reception been like for your debut album? GS: It's been good so far - it's kind of hard to say what it's been because it's only been out a month or so.  I feel like I'll have a better answer in a year or so when I can look back fondly/res...

are we having fun yet? ... I missed out on the loop a lot in Edinboro. Do I regret this? Hell no. I wish I could have missed out on more to be perfectly honest with you! But Brook White deserves to be recognized for his effortless attempts to make the universe (not just Edinboro University!) laugh. And although I never got the chance to meet Brook and have only witnessed various going-ons via the magic of my safe place in cyberspace.  Brook's first venture into the world of youtubable (is that a word? whatever it just happened) was College Life With Brook White.  SEE IT FOR YOURSELF. But now he's taken it upon himself to start his own variety show a la the Late Show  or something of that nature. Oh?!?! Enter BROOK WHITE TONITE, which has a reach farther than a little area in Pennsylvania. Well it's the era of the internet....whatever I don't know.  ENTER OUR AWKWARD FACEBOOK INTERVIEW Brook:   We still doing this thing little Kemp? Britt: ...
