Quick preview: 'Inside Men"

BCC America has done it again. First "The Hour," now "Inside Men," a fast-paced thriller in which the series starts at both the beginning and end. 

We're promised six episodes, and I'm on the edge of my chair through Episode 2. What's fun is you see the characters bouncing between March and September as they move forward -- and backward -- in a sequence of events tied to a ginormous robbery of a money-counting business. The assumption is you'll end up at the same place at Episode 6. We'll see. 

"Inside Men" is great fun, clever, and well worth finding on cable or online. 

Think Quarterly: The Creativity issue

It's always time to get creative. Here's some inspiration. 

Gaslight Anthem live

The more I listen to The Gaslight Anthem the more I'm kinda bothered by the strong Springsteeny vocals. They're from Jersey so you wonder whether it's forced ... but the band delivers a consistently humable form of light punk. 

When I want to listen to punk I dive in fully focused, but there are occasions (like at the gym) where I just need a half-step toward something that's a bit polished, not too deep, half out of sight, half out of mind.

Enter Gaslight Anthem. Kinda there, kinda not. Just when you think a hook is going to stick, whoosh, there it goes.

With that in mind, here's an hourlong show from "The Late Show With David Letterman" that's perfect for multitasking.
