Pinback @ The Hub
Rather than dwell on what went wrong with Pinback’s Thursday night show in the Hub, I choose to chalk it up to an unappreciative audience and call it a night.
Geology Class To Research Faults, Volcanoes on Trip
This fall, the UCSB Earth Science Dept. plans to send several students on an academic excursion to several areas, including the Mammoth Mountain volcanic sites where UCSB researcher Charles Walter Rosenthal died just three weeks ago. The 12-day class will take 20 non-freshmen students to the earthquake faults in the Eastern Sierras and the active volcanoes in Mammoth Mountain.
Silent Hill | Night of the Living Video Game
The recently released horror movie “Silent Hill” came at the crest of a small media furor. Ever since the film’s announcement, the fans of the video game it was adapted from have created an avalanche of anticipation, surmounted by an advertising blitzkrieg launched by distributor Sony Pictures.
Immigration Protests Gain A.S. Support
After roughly 40 student protesters marched earlier in the day to support immigration rights, the Associated Students Legislative Council passed a resolution last night allowing A.S. staff to miss work on Monday, May 1, in support of the “Great American Boycott.”
The Sentinel | Hail to the Chief
Suspension of disbelief is often a necessity in appreciating the events of a given film. However, there is only so much disbelief a film can expect its audience to suspend nowadays. Unfortunately, this is the case with “The Sentinel.”
Islands | Return to the Sea | Equator Records
It is not everyday that the dead return to life. Yet despite the “surprise” demise of obscure indie rockers the Unicorns in early 2005, band members Nick Diamonds and J’aime Tambour are once again revitalizing the experimental music scene in their new band, Islands.
NOFX | Wolves in Wolves Clothing | Fat Wreck Chord
Some kids never grow up. Or, perhaps more accurately, some kids grow up in their politics, but perhaps not so much in their lyrical styling. Such is the case with proverbial punk rockers NOFX on its latest release, Wolves in Wolves Clothing.
Daniel Powter | Daniel Powter | Warner Bros.
Major music television networks seemed to have taken it upon themselves to give up-and-coming artists a break in the entertainment industry. VH1 junkies know what I’m talking about – the “You Oughta Know” segment that tries to thrust artists down our throats and into the limelight comes to mind.
April 27, 2006 – May 4, 2006
Saturday, April 29: If the promise of a sweat-soaked Madonna gyrating in a makeshift tent hasn’t already sent you running to your nearest Ticketmaster outlet, we just don’t know what will. That said, there are still tickets available for the most highly anticipated desert dance party of the year. Boasting heavyweights like Massive Attack, Daft Punk and Tool, this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival kicks off today at 11 a.m.
None today.
