MUSIC — INTERVIEW
Our Story Is a Perennial One: An Interview With Pete Townshend
By Justin Cober-Lake
[10.Nov.06] :. With a new Who album out, Pete Townshend talks about connectedness, the joys and perils of technology, and his thoughts on songwriting.
FILM — INTERVIEW
An Imperfect World: An Interview with the Directors of Flushed Away
By Scott Thill
[10.Nov.06] :. Would CGI's sparkle brighten Aardman's earthy touch? Would stop-motion puppetry's three-dimensional depth be flattened into two-dimensional popcorn?
MUSIC — FEATURE
A Sleek, Sporty European Roadster: Reconsidering Depeche Mode
By John Bergstrom
[9.Nov.06] :. Throughout the 1980s, Depeche Mode built a consistent, hugely-influential body of work. And then they very nearly parodied it. These three luxury reissues tell that story in thrilling fashion.
MUSIC — FEATURE
PopMatters @ CMJ 2006
By Jennifer Kelly, Megan Milks, Dan Nishimoto, Andrew Phillips, and Steve Stirling
[8.Nov.06] :. The final day of CMJ is rat race for the finish, and it's not like An American Tail -- modest mice only get so far, Fievel. As the last lap approaches, the only way to win is to back down the competition with a little tail weaving and an unbelievably nasty bite. PopMatters gives you all the hits and misses of CMJ, concluding today.
MUSIC — INTERVIEW
Pop Music Happens: An Interview with Graham Coxon
By Evan Sawdey
[8.Nov.06] :. Coxon has a new solo album out, but he seems as concerned with cheese as with anything, except his discovery of writing pop songs.
SPORTS — FEATURE
College Football: The Most Important Sport in America. Period.
By Greg M. Schwartz
[7.Nov.06] :. Bigger than the NFL, more intense than the NBA, more meaningful than pro baseball, NCAA football is the best game in the country.
MUSIC — INTERVIEW
Delayed Attraction: An Interview with French Kicks
By Andre Perry
[6.Nov.06] :. With an increasingly layered and intricate sound, New York's French Kicks take some time to get used to.
MUSIC — FEATURE
New Adventures in Antiquity
By Zeth Lundy
[3.Nov.06] :. A new box set commemorating a series of tribute concerts for Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music puts inherited eccentricities center-stage that probe the rift between artifice and authenticity.
CULTURE — FEATURE
Kings Dominion
By Paul Caine
[2.Nov.06] :. Though they aspire to be as safe as suburbia, amusement parks provide pleasure beyond class consciousness.
FILM — FEATURE
Jessica Lange: The Anti-Streep
By Matt Mazur
[1.Nov.06] :. Can childhood epiphanies really translate into critical pursuits of acting nuance? For Matt Mazur they most certainly can, as attested by his lifelong devotion to the immersive acting of cinematic chimera Jessica Lange.
