Ticketmaster and Live Nation Merge!
January 26 2010
This is kind of a REALLY big deal if you dig live music.
January 23 2010
There were a lot of students at the Zilka opening last night, so much so that Zilka curator Nina Felshin asked if some classes had been assigned to attend, but that wasn’t the case. Everyone was genuinely enticed by the video art of Julika Rudelius, who couldn’t make it to the reception, but was still [...]

It’s been about a year since swedesh-born Karin Andersson aka Fever Ray, also known as half of the duo The Knife, released her self-titled debut album, and I have to say I have fallen madly in love with her music recently.

3rd Dimensional Transition: The 3D Revolution
January 14 2010
As ‘Avatar’ continues to climb the ranks towards becoming the highest grossing film of all time, it has become the catalyst 3D technology needed to become a mainstay in the entertainment industry. More than fifty years after its invention, 3D is set to pervade not only our movie theaters, but also our television sets and [...]
Oh My God, Could You Be a Hipster?
January 13 2010
No you're not. Of course you're not. Hipsters are the scum of the earth, the end of modern culture, the bane of your existence. No one claims to be a hipster, and most despair of them, without quite knowing how to define one. What exactly is a hipster?
