Melodic jazz musician follows his own tune

Titles like "musician," "actor" and "broadcast journalist" could fill just about any résumé, but they're not enough for Ryan Christopher Montaño. "I never know what's going to happen next, and I want that every single day for the rest for my life," said Montaño, a Berkeley-trained jazz trumpeter.

Fashion Q&A

Fashion Q&A Manuel Perez, Server at Chili's Gauges: Sach's Shirt: Old Town, $10 Shorts: Borrowed Shoes: Ross, $30 "I just wear tight pants. Everything else I just throw on. Shoes kind of matter depending on the shirt, though." With a rosary bracelet on his left hand met by a smiling skull, Manuel's style is one of carefully crafted dissonance, melding the rough edges of punk style with Catholic undertones.

Film-fest entrants' fate in the hands of Wild Bill

Wild Bill is calling for short films to headline his first-ever film fest at The Box Performance Space this Saturday. The festival is the brainchild of Chris Walsh and Matt Garcia of Amigo Productions, a local film company. Central to the event is audience participation, in that the attendees decide which films to watch and which to skip.

The "Doggfather" of hip-hop came to Albuquerque's Journal Pavilion last Tuesday with a sermon that fell on more than 1,000 hungry ears.

'Brüno' delivers shocks, laughs

"Brüno" may be the first movie in history to feature a talking penis and open at the top of the box office. But that isn't to credit genitalia for the film's success, Writer and lead actor Sacha Baron Cohen's follow-up to the left-field smash "Borat" is a full frontal assault on cultural homophobia and America's surprisingly tortured relationship with male sexuality.

Former Lobo steps into radio booth

Just because football came to him naturally doesn't mean he'll be a natural at calling it. Kole McKamey, UNM's new radio football analyst, understands that he won't be a golden throat when he steps in the booth for the first time, that it'll take fine-tuning and learn-on-the-fly improvisation to perfect the craft, especially since he's never done it before.

2000 Vietnam a culinary adventure

The 2000 Vietnam restaurant, located on the corner of San Mateo and Zuni, pushed me to exercise the aphorism, "Don't judge a book by its cover." Why? It shares a building with Saigon Emissions Testing. Putting aside fears of emission-tainted food, I entered the restaurant only to be greeted by overdone decorations, but that's not so unusual among Oriental restaurants.
