"White Boy Brown" is poignant and moving film about a black family that adopts a white child. It deals with the subjects of racism, discrimination and redemption.

2010 has been a great year for Friggin Fabulous Radio, and Nick is very thankful for all the amazingly talented artists who did interviews for the podcast. Artists like Niall Connolly, Shayna Zaid and the Catch, Craig Greenberg, Jennings, and the list goes on. Here's to a Friggin Fabulous 2011!

I sat down with Brooklyn Based Singer/Songwriter, Niall Connolly at Red Lion on Bleecker Street recently where he talked about his Irish roots, the American Media and 99 Cent Stores in Jersey City. According to his Bio, he recorded his first album in 2001 using money raised by selling his body for medical research, and in 2010 he funded his fourth album, "Brother The Fight Is Fixed" from pre-sales from fans across the globe. It's an honor to have Niall on Friggin Fabulous Radio!

Craig Greenberg is one of my favorite NYC performers and song writers, and I finally got the chance to interview him in front of Cafe Vivaldi in the West Village. His new EP, "Spinning in Time" features his guitar, piano and vocal work and is stuck on reapeat on my iPod. If you like Ben Folds Five, Jackson Browne and Ben Harper, you're going to love this!

This time I interviewed the super talented singer/songwriter Peter Doran, from the fair city of Dublin, Ireland. Peter plays "soulful and seductive folk-pop" according to Cyber PR, and I have to agree. If you like Jeff Buckley, Fionn Regan and David Gray, you're sure to love the music of Peter Doran!

"Blast us with wind, melt us with acid and set us ablaze. What are we left with? Sitck Figure Guy." That's the quote on J-Punch and Dave Moonshine's new album, "Stick Figure Guy." I f you like Depeche Mode, Moby, Everything But The Girl, you will love these guys. Their amazing lyrics and downtempo beats will blow you away!
