Today's Menu (7/6/2008)

06:00AM, 07.06.08

Black Congo NC The locals have been steadily upping their benga-flavored game, recently welcoming reeds-man Brent Bagwell (Tenspeed, Project Bluebird) into the fold and adding a touch of Ethiopiques' soul to a sound that already included two guitars, synth bleats and blurps, looped vocal hollers and animal noises, and in their cut "So Long Seagull," [...]

Today's Menu (7/5/2008)

06:00AM, 07.05.08

Lou Ford/Buschovski The Ford boys' music evidences a finely wrought, pared-down style of songwriting that's almost Carveresque (or at least Lish-like) in its spareness. Busch's swirling lyrical worlds are positively Pynchonian, vaguely conspiratorial and often overwhelming in their shit-stirrin' scope. Lou Ford's put out three records and an E.P. in the past dozen years. Busch [...]

Slick Rick London-born Rick The Ruler, recently pardoned by New York governor David Paterson for the attempted murder of his cousin way back in 1990 (he served five years total) and hassled by Homeland Security goons ever since (just because a guy says he's "the bomb" doesn't mean he's carrying one, fellers), is finally back [...]

Friday, July 4 Film Hancock: Fourth of July = Will Smith movie. It's a tried and true formula and with the exception of Wild, Wild West, Will Smith owns the Fourth, in all his Scientology glory. Now we can add Hancock to the list. Big Willy plays a superhero with no past and no future, dealing [...]

This way to better media

11:44AM, 06.18.08

"This way to better media," read the floor sign directing people through a skyway to the Minneapolis Convention Center. Thousands of people gathered there for the fourth National Conference for Media Reform, hosted by freepress.net. They came from all walks of life and all ages to address a central crisis in our society: our broken [...]

Utah Phillips has left the stage

11:22AM, 06.04.08

"Utah" Phillips died this week at the age of 73. He was a musician, labor organizer, peace activist and co-founder of his local homeless shelter. He also was an archivist, a historian and a traveler; playing guitar and singing almost forgotten songs of the dispossessed and the downtrodden, and keeping alive the memory of labor [...]

Ticker tape ain't spaghetti

Food riots are erupting around the world. Protests have occurred in Egypt, Cameroon, the Philippines, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mauritania and Senegal. Sarata Guisse, a Senegalese demonstrator, told Reuters: "We are holding this demonstration because we are hungry. We need to eat, we need to work, we are hungry. That's all. We are hungry." United [...]

The real anti-torture president

05:01PM, 04.16.08

Imagine, a candidate for president who, a year or so ago, no one would have considered electable. Now the person is the front-runner, with a groundswell of grass-roots support, threatening the sense of inevitability of the establishment candidates. No, I'm not talking about the American presidential race, but the race for president of the largest [...]
