Susan Seidelman: The Most Overlooked Director of the Twentieth Century

There is something about Susan Seidelman that people in the “film community” fail to notice–not just that she’s fucking brilliant, but that she has a rare quality few of her contemporaries possess: The ability to create films that are pointed and eloquent without use of a monumental budget. Then there’s the need people have to [...]

Maniac’s debut EP is a much-needed breath of fresh air and…wait for it…creativity!

Posted on 02 September 2010

When great bands break up, the results usually aren’t this much fun. From the ashes of The Matches came Maniac, igniting like a wildfire of creativity. (Yay, wordplay!) When I drove from LA to San Francisco for The Matches’ final concert at the Fillmore in August 2009, it was not without a heavy heart. I [...] Continue Reading

Birds of Tokyo…don’t know them? Well then read this and learn.

Posted on 01 September 2010

Birds of Tokyo just released their third full-length album, the self-titled Birds of Tokyo. Hailing from Perth, Australia, this is a band that I’m sure you have never heard of (if you’re from the USA, at least). I wouldn’t have ever have heard about them either had I not gone to see Hot Leg perform [...] Continue Reading

Ray LaMontagne Cuts Loose. Kind Of.

Posted on 01 September 2010

When you think of Ray LaMontagne, you tend to hear only his voice. It’s easy to understand why. Deep, raspy, strong, delicate, wavering. All at once. Through much of his musical career, there’s hardly been reason to pair it with a full band rocking or rolling behind it. It’s an instrument in and of itself. [...] Continue Reading

Having a Gay Old Time With The Scissor Sisters on Night Work

Posted on 01 September 2010

The Scissor Sisters have no problem finding their audience, regardless of how utterly campy they are. Even the album cover of Night Work sets a new precedent for just how much the members of Scissor Sisters don’t give a fuck about decorum or “taste.” Exhibiting a clenched ass with pants tighter than anything Jim Morrison [...] Continue Reading

So if blaring loud and aggressive music or even avant-garde gibberish to annoy those around you is your thing, by all means read on. As [...] Continue Reading

Pokemon: A Metaphor for Social Networking

Posted on 30 August 2010

If you aren’t aware of Pokemon, then you’re further out of the loop than I am, and I’m talking about something that seems as if it hasn’t been relevant in years. But as social networking has become the most important thing ever, the metaphor that Pokemon has so profoundly explored becomes more and more impressive. [...] Continue Reading
