The Funky Side of "Kane"- The Steve Carlson Band in Concert

Posted by | Apr 3, 2007 | , |

There’s nothing quite as exciting as seeing a new band you’ve never seen before, but whose CD has been on heavy rotation on your player or your iTunes or your iPod do their thing live. You have no expectations beyond what you’ve heard on the CD, and it can go either way. It could be the coldest expression of artistry you’ve ever seen, akin to playing the CD in the comfort of your home, minus the makeup and the heels and the traveling (like it happened to this writer with UB40 several years ago)… or everything is worth it because you just want to rock out and have fun and let them fill your heart with joy and music.

"Angel & Faith" #2 Review: Christos Gage Officially Rules!

Posted by | Nov 30, 1999 | |

The redemptive vampire and formerly dark slayer are back with the release this week of Angel & Faith #2 written by Christos Gage and with art by Rebekah Issacs. If readers enjoyed anything about the premiere issue of Angel & Faith, then they’ll love this one! Issacs’ artwork is just as strong and immersive as the last issue, and Gage delivers a script that will leave Whedon fans begging for Dark Horse and Joss Whedon to chain the scribe to his work desk and throw away the key!

Illyria: Haunted Review – Big Blue Finds Some Friends, A Purpose, And, Maybe, Some Peace

Posted by | Nov 30, 1999 | |

 
IDW’s Angel books have been giving me a buzz lately. That kind of shimmering excitement you’d feel as a kid when there were only two weeks left in school. The anticipation of IDW’s wrap-up is enormous and rides on three story lines (the flagship Angel series, Brian Lynch’s brilliant Spike mini-series, and the Illyria: Haunted mini-series) that will bridge the gap between IDW’s Angel timeline and Dark Horse Comics’ Buffy Season Eight. The final issue of Illyria: Haunted has arrived, and, while the mini-series itself has both moments of greatness and weakness, IDW has done a solid job of advancing the story of an interesting and difficult character.

During Wondercon in Anaheim I was lucky enough to my grubby paws on tickets to an advanced screening of "The Cabin in the Woods" starring Richard Jenkins(The Rum Diary), Bradly Whitford(The West Wing), Jesse Williams(Grey’s Anatomy), Chris Hemsworth(Thor, Star Trek (2009)), Fran Kranz(Dollhouse), Kristen Connolly(The Happening), Anna Hutchison(Legend of the Seeker, Underbelly), Brian White(The Shield, Moonlight), Amy Acker(Angel, Dollhouse, No Ordinary Family) is directed by Drew Goddard (Buffy, Angel, Cloverfield) and written by him and Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly/Serenity, Avengers).

Here’s my quick attempt at a spoiler free review.
