Martha Graham Dance Company performs at UNCG
The ghosts of a dead generation danced for the hundreds of people attending last Saturday's performance by the Martha Graham Dance Company in Aycock Auditorium. Unlike writing, painting or sculpture, dance is a very ephemeral art form - nothing is left of each dance except an empty stage when it is over.

Joe Scott: The Man behind the Mixed Tape Film Series
With one-dollar movie rentals at the Red Box, it's getting harder and harder to convince people to fork over ten times as much for the "theater" experience.
Outrageous concession prices in general and the recent removal of student pricing on the weekends by the Regal Cinema at Friendly Center certainly aren't doing anything to help motivate the masses to line up at the box offices of Greensboro.

Evil Dead Kills
Projectile streams of blood, flying babies, a talking moose, a hand that doubles as a chainsaw, and a severed hand that doubles as a character...only a few of the attractions associated with the theatre ride that is UNCG's recent production, Evil Dead: The Musical.

"Wild Things" proves to be both thoughtful and challenging
Spike Jonze wastes no time revealing the subversive intentions in his film adaptation of Maurice Sendak's 1963 children's book "Where the Wild Things Are"; the hand drawn Warner Brothers logo is quickly interrupted by a running, screaming child. He chases a cat, but there's no playful innocence to his pursuit, only aggressive malice.

Pinche Gringo and more rock out at 340 Tate Street
In the late 90s the address 340 Tate Street was called "Second Time Around Clothesline Express" until the owner died of lung cancer. Later the property was rented out as an Art Gallery called "The Space" that occasionally had performances. Presently it goes under the name Maya Art Gallery, the figure which stands like an enigma between the coffee house and the t-shirt company.

Karl Blau is one of the most prolific artists of the Pacific Northwest music scene. When he is not running his own record label, guest-starring on other band's records, being a part of other bands like D+, or producing albums for Dub Narcotic Studios, he finds time to make his own albums.

Reviews
Danny Ross - One Way
Danny Ross' debut LP One Way is a promising, if underwhelming, bit of piano pop. The utilization of up to a 15-piece band on any given track provides deft changes of pace; contrast the sentimental lament of "Forgive Me Love" with the peppy Jazz tones of "This is Just a Test.

Avett brothers "I and love and you"
For a hometown band such as The Avett Brothers, (hailing from Concord, North Carolina) their devoted fan base worldwide falls nothing short of impressive. Comprised primarily of the two brothers, Seth and Scott Avett alongside the assistance of Bob Crawford and Joe Kwon, this quartet has discovered the formulation for success: a bona fide record.

Going to Pieces with Friday Night Frights
The "Friday Night Frights" series at The Carousel Cinemas is garnering a cult following worthy of the films it showcases. This is especially true of the past week's film Pieces (1982), a Spanish-produced (but dubbed into English) masterpiece of visceral disorientation.
