Who else but hosts Wendy Stuart and Tym Moss could “spill the tea” on their weekly show “If These Walls Could Talk” live from Pangea Restaurant on the Lower Eastside of NYC, with their unique style of honest, and emotional interviews, sharing the fascinating backstory of celebrities, entertainers, recording artists, writers and artists and bringing their audience along for a fantastic ride.

William Keck will be a featured guest on “If These Walls Could Talk” with hosts Wendy Stuart and Tym Moss on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at 2 PM ET live from the infamous Pangea Restaurant.

Wendy Stuart is an author, celebrity interviewer, model, filmmaker and along with If These Walls Could Talk she hosts TriVersity Talk, a weekly web series with featured guests discussing their lives, activism and pressing issues in the LGBTQ Community.

Tym Moss is a popular NYC singer, actor, and radio/tv host who recently starred in the hit indie film “JUNK” to critical acclaim.

With the recent release of William Keck’s best-selling “When You Step Upon A Star: Cringeworthy Confessions of a Tabloid Bad Boy” (https://whenyoustepuponastar.com/), William Keck writes about the hundreds of public personalities he reported and spied on. Keck openly discusses both the famous and infamous who feared or hated him, and those who transitioned to admiration or friendship.

Drawing from his three decades working as an entertainment reporter for such publications as the National Enquirer, People, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today and the Los Angeles Times, and as an Emmy-nominated producer for Hallmark Channel, Discovery Channel and NBC, Keck confesses ALL about his most memorable celebrity encounters that (for one reason or another) went horribly wrong. Far more than a shocking admission of past sins, When You Step Upon A Star chronicles the repentant author’s own evolution from a lonely only child obsessed with Hollywood stars, to an eager tabloid snoop keeping personal secrets of his own, to a well-respected journalist who ultimately learns from his mistakes, changes his wicked ways and befriends the celebrities he’d once wronged.

‘‘Jerk’ by Laughing Cats: A Journey Through Rock’s Golden Eras and Beyond

Laughing Cats’ latest single, “Jerk,” is more than just a song; it’s a time capsule and a fresh take all at once. Lauren Schiff and Tony Fredianelli craft a sound that’s rooted in their love for rock’s golden eras, especially the 60s and 80s, yet their music is unmistakably modern. Together, they create a synergy that appeals to nostalgia without compromising contemporary relevance.

The single opens with a catchy, guitar-driven intro that is undeniably reminiscent of classic rock, instantly evoking images of crowded music venues and vibrant summer nights. Tony’s guitar work shines, intertwining influences from The Troggs and New Order with a crisp, modern twist. It’s clear that Laughing Cats draws deeply from their influences but injects enough originality to make it their own.

Lauren’s lyrics on “Jerk” delve into themes of growth, with her storytelling prowess giving the song a sense of emotional depth. Her vocal delivery balances introspection with a playful edge, letting listeners feel the raw honesty of the song. It’s not every day that a modern rock band can convey both vulnerability and strength in a single track, but Laughing Cats achieves just that.

Initially envisioned as a track sung by a male voice, “Jerk” nevertheless translates seamlessly to Lauren’s perspective, carrying a universal resonance that makes it accessible to all. The song’s story stems from real-life reflections on relationships and personal change. This approach gives the track a relatable narrative that many listeners will recognize from their own experiences.

Musically, “Jerk” holds a subtle complexity. While the song is catchy and upbeat, careful listeners will notice how it layers instruments and vocals to build momentum, giving it a sense of urgency. Tony’s skillful arrangement brings out the best in Lauren’s voice, emphasizing key moments and pulling back when needed, creating a dynamic listening experience.

With, Funny Money, on the horizon, Laughing Cats is setting a strong foundation for what promises to be a remarkable debut album. As “Jerk” showcases, this duo is unafraid to experiment while respecting the genres they cherish. It’s rare to find a band that celebrates rock’s past with such finesse and paves the way forward with such originality.
