Wanna Take You to a Free Show: Electric Six play Paper Tiger
It has been nearly a decade since I first heard the song "Gay Bar" by Electric Six. Since then it is near impossible for me to say the words "gay bar" without enunciating it the way lead singer Dick Valentine does so in the song. I know I'm not alone. Electric Six...

SXSW 2019 – Illuminati Hotties and Potty Mouth
The corporate sponsorship invasion of SXSW has long been a catalyst in the rise of the festival’s popularity while also being a catalyst for being a pain in the ass of many SXSW goers. There is an overwhelming sense of exclusivity in a lot of the official showcases...

SXSW 2019 – Broken Social Scene, The Joy Formidable, and The Beths
There is an overwhelming sense of exhaustion preparing for SXSW. Anticipating where to park, how far you’re going to need to walk, how long you’re going to have to wait in line and how much money you’re going to need to spend can make anybody question why they even...

Choosing the first local band you fall for is a lot like choosing a starter Pokemon. In some cases, they ultimately choose you. The first time I realized I was a Westbound Departure fan was watching two of their original members’ perform for their Independent Study...

If you’ve been following me on social media for a while, then you know that every year I rank my favorite movies. This is actually the 10TH YEAR I'm doing so (man, we're all getting old). I started by making tacky photo-shopped images with my favorites back in 2009,...

As I try to remind myself every year, the best movies I'm likely to see are ones I hadn't even heard of beforehand. The movies that sneak up on you and smack you upside the head with surprise and startling originality. Upgrade is one of the first movies to do that for...

Fall 2017 Update!
Hey, this blog still exists! It’s been about half a year since I’ve written anything up, and it’s been a bussyyyyy time in my life. Got married, started a new position and found out I’m going to be a father next spring! Amidst all of those changes, I’ve still somehow...
Get Out
It seems like every year in recent memory, there’s been another great new horror release from a first time director, and 2017 is no different. Last year I wrote about ‘The Witch’ from Robert Eggers and previously there was 'The Babadook’ and 'It Follows’. We’re...
Logan
I’ve never been the biggest fan of the X-men movies. I look at them like I did the Harry Potter series: I’d go see the newest entry, have a fun time, and almost immediately forget about it when I leave the theater (the one exception being Matthew Vaughn’s far...
