Terry SawyerFeatures MusicDead Grammy Walking[12.Feb.08] :. The Grammys are a tradition whose bottom has fallen out, a relic still standing only because people are too bored to say otherwise.  TVMTV Killed the Video Star: The MTV Video Music Awards[12.Sep.07] :. The overall effect from watching this year's MTV VMAs was club drug vertigo -- but with none of the fun of the club or the drugs.  MusicKaren Dalton: In My Own Time[25.Jul.07] :. Just as the ambiguous details surrounding Nick Drake's death led people to exhaustively make his sorrow sacred, Karen Dalton was soul country's undiscovered Ophelia.  CultureDon't Mess With Texas: The Lone Star State Loses Its Greatest Spitfire[4.Feb.07] :. Molly Ivins was one of the world's most gifted bar stool philosophers, someone who effortlessly segued into the world of ideas from the sure-footed ground of details. Columns Mind Over MattersMeta-Bullshit: The Trouble with Sarah Silverman and the Fawning Cult of Meta-Bigotry[20.Jan.06] :. In the guise of smarts, there's woeful lack of intellect. Silverman tears-up the historical significance of the words she uses only to quilt them back together in meticulously parsed clashes of shock. Mind Over MattersFighting Chance[12.Jan.05] :. After the 2004 US Presidential election, part of me still waited for the Diebold voting scandals to unfold, irrationally hoping that Bush's victory was simply a dirty backroom handshake hammered out during an Illuminati luncheon at Cracker Barrel. Mind Over MattersSmear the Queer[10.Nov.04] :. We were too frightened by the possibility of Bush's reelection to recognize that Kerry frets his way around the language of values, handling it in his speeches the way macho men hold their wives' purses for them. Mind Over MattersDerailing the Peace Train[6.Oct.04] :. If the former Cat Stevens were barred entry to the US due to his bad music, one might not feel compelled to defend him. As it is, we've got a problem, here. Mind Over MattersThe Rape of Logic: Conservatives and Abu Ghraib[9.Jun.04] :. Conservatives have tried at every turn to whore out the country's existential fears since 9-11. Abu Ghraib is no exception. Maybe I should be more understanding of the environmental factors that have caused the Right to abandon their rhetoric of individual responsibility. Mind Over Matters Kill Your Television Before It Kills YouMind Over Matters We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes OffMind Over Matters Queering the MicReviews MusicHanne Hukkelberg: Rykestrasse 68[7.Mar.08] :. Rykestrasse 68 is not the record you put on when you're trying to multi-task your way onto the next thing on your list. It rewards stillness, listening, and deciphering.  DVDsPlasmatics: Wendy O. Williams and The Plasmatics: The DVD - Ten Years of Revolutionary Rock and Roll[30.May.07] :. A band so bold and extraordinary in its thinking and live intensity deserves a more driven and inquisitive introduction.  TVThe 2007 Grammy Awards[13.Feb.07] :. Awards shows like The Grammys are built around a torturous rhythm much like a faucet dripping in the middle of the night.  DVDsWanda Sykes - Sick and Tired (2006)[30.Jan.07] :. Sick & Tired serves laughter like Sykes prefers her drinking: straight no chaser kissing the rim of a bottomless glass.
