I can only imagine that the producers of The Dilemma had one or two of their own prior the film’s release. “Do we simply light our millions of dollars on fire rather than sign our names to this clusterf_ck?” may have been one. Continue reading

LE BUTCHERETTES
This album will blow your pants off. It seeps up your ankles and clenches you entirely. It’s laden with noisy, abrasive beats and seductive, simple hooks. The band has the potency of 20 runaways gripping switchblades. Continue reading

DIG THIS: CASS MCCOMBS
McCombs has been hailed as one of the most singularly brilliant lyrical talents to shuffle up to a microphone in the last ten years, which is made all the more astounding by the fact that by all accounts, he’s a pretty swell dude. Continue reading

DIG THIS: BOMBA ESTERO
Electronic music is a bit like … chocolate chips. Sure, you could sit there and just polish off the whole bag by itself, and that perfectly acceptable use for them, but—there is definitely something to be gained from holding off long enough to put them in cookies. Continue reading

HONEST PINT: FINE BOOZIN’
For most of us, when we think about Mother’s Day we don’t automatically think about beer. That’s territory reserved for that other parentally themed holiday, right? Sure, on Father’s Day you and the pops might go out for a brew to celebrate his awesomeness, but on Mother’s Day, its Sunday brunch, white tablecloths and your only pair of jeans without holes.

THE BEAVER
Maniacal, homophobic, racist and anti-Semitic rantings caught on tape; crippling substance abuse; a family in shambles and a scandalized divorce on the forefront of the paparazzi agenda: these, unfortunately, have been the dominating factors in Mel Gibson’s life for the better half of a decade, and to say that one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood has hit bottom with a resounding thud would be a benevolent understatement.

A MOMENT IN THE SUN
“’That’s what beautiful about the game. Whatever a man do, it open him up to something comin’ back.’” This is the thesis of the first act of Sayles’ fleshy narrative, which follows failed-goldminer-turned-failed-boxer Hosea “Hod” Brackenridge through the latter years of the 1890s—that great period of American decadence, corruption and growth—a period woefully under-treated by literature.

CONCEALED IDENTITIES
Two years ago, Shepard Fairey exhibited at Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art—and was arrested en route to the opening. This year, Bansky was nominated for an Oscar but had his Cambridge work painted over by the city and remains one of the world’s most wanted vandals. Neither the artists nor the art world seem to be able to make up their mind about where street and graffiti artists and their work belong. Continue reading

BLUE VALENTINE
The Notebook this is not. This is the story of what happens to real people in real relationships everyday. At times it is lovely and heart warming, while other times, the movie becomes depressing and frustrating. Continue reading
