Pantera seemed to come out of nowhere in the late 80’s with Cowboys From Hell, a rather apt title summing up these Texas-bred good ole’ boys with a penchant for blistering metal and plenty of booze. Though to be fair, they’d been at it playing and recording since the early 80’s – taking the punk rock DIY path of self-releasing – it just took the music world and the larger…
Though there are certainly many devastatingly sad aspects in the starkly beautiful How to Survive a Plague – the documentary about the early stages of the AIDs epidemic in the U.S. and the origins of ACT Up and TAG – it is also refreshing to see just how more compassionate we have become in this country in comparison. The Oscar-nominated film follows a group of gay men and lesbians…

“Take it slow,” Graham MacRae advises midway through his new album, Dundrearies. It’s a good piece of advice, and one that he follows. Taking a hand-made approach to everything from his songwriting to the album’s artwork (which he drew himself), MacRae has crafted a record of folky, thoughtful, singer-songwriter fare in the vein of Bill Callahan. Building on his 2008 self-titled debut’s introspective musings and acoustic finger-picking, Dundrearies treads similar…
Anders & Kendall may be a new band, but it’s comprised of a duo of music vets: Anders Parker, a solo artist and also former member of the Indie experimental band Varnaline, and Kendall Meade from Sparklehorse, Mascot and a handful of other groups. Wild Chorus, their debut, is a beautiful, bordering on precious (but not quite there thankfully) collection of nearly a dozen mellow, brushed drum, melody-drenched folk rock…

I came into The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey expecting a fairly solid fantasy film but something that would only be a pale shade of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Director Peter Jackson is able to imbue this introductory Hobbit flick with the same gravitas while establish a considerably different feel to An Unexpected Journey. Lord of the Rings had a number of single-film releases before getting a definitive Blu-Ray…
The GlassBox engine provides a considerably different feel to SimCity than previous games in the franchise; while this does not change the cartoony flair that is a hallmark of Sims effort, it makes it more immersive and grandiose. Simcity has streamlined transportation and utilities into the road tool to ensure a quick move from low to medium population cities, while establishing greater functionality at the end-game. This is experienced…
The journey from adolescence to adulthood can be a harrowing one. For composer and saxophonist Joshua Kwassman, that was true in a very literal sense, as a three-day bike trip, in August 2010, with an idolized childhood friend collapsed into chaos and shattered his youthful illusions. While that trek itself found Kwassman growing up in a hurry, his musical recounting of the experience marks the debut of a remarkably…

It is remarkable that after only seven years of exhibiting his work to the public, Baker has achieved worldwide recognition. In 2010 with the backing of Magnarella he had a sell-out show in New York and received a similarly avid reception in London the following year. In 2012 he was chosen to participate in the V&A exhibition Britain Creates 2012: Fashion + Art Collusion in collaboration with acclaimed British designer Sir Paul…
