Chook Race
While trying to decide where or not I actually like the new tunes from Angel Olsen (it’s very Lana Del Rey, which is weird), Sleigh Bells (lackluster opening, kill outro) and Deap Valley (not sure...

Show Of The Week
Speedy Ortiz, The Good Life, Tancred. I love all three of those bands, so I’m pretty jazzed that they’re together on one bill this Friday at Barracuda. You’d be wise to not miss such a...
Movie Breakdown: Maggie’s Plan
Pre-Screening Stance: I haven’t seen any of writer/director Rebecca Miller’s other films, and Greta Gerwig has always been very hit or miss for me. With that being said, Maggie’s Plan looks like the sort of...

Movie Breakdown: Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

Russian Circles
While browsing around this morning I came across a new track from Russian Circles. Apparently, they announced an album last week, and the news alluded me. How dare it! Anyhow, I’m really digging the first...
Show Of The Week
The nice thing about this week’s main selection is that if you miss it, you’ll have another chance to catch it. On Friday the great Robert Ellis will be at 3TEN at ACL Live with...
