The Women's Resource Center will highlight the international struggle of women against opression during its Women's Film Festival today.
In the war between analog and digital, few bands occupy a space at the frontline and remain as unknown and recondite as the boys in Hefner.
Look into yourself for a moment, and think of what comes to mind at the mention of these names:
Platonica, the 2001 full-length debut album from the New York band The Pasties, is like Weezer's blue album without the crunch. Platonica begins with an assault of Ooh La La's at the beginning of "Shameless," the first song on the album. The rest of the album follows in this vein, lyrics never really living up to their prescribed hype and song progressions never reaching the dynamic possible for the seasoned musicians in the band.
"Making Scenes," the debut novel by hypertext writer Adrienne Eisen, starts out innocently. A quirky but likable heroine is introduced, a seemingly engaging story begins to unfold and a typical feminist coming of age/finding oneself novel is brought into the world.
Just prior to Stoic Frame's recent move from Albuquerque to the West Coast, the band was near the top of its form.
With the nearest major amusement parks at more than six hours' drive away, the teeth-grinding terror, clavicle-crushing foam bars and 48-inch height requirements of roller coasters have been merely daydreams for most New Mexicans.
The supposedly sane are actually crazy, absurdity is reality and everything has this pesky little catch attached to it. No, this is not our government's proposed energy policy or the Enron scandal, its Joseph Heller's classic novel, "Catch-22," adapted to the stage by the author himself, performed this month at the Vortex Theatre.
Remember "Torn," the Natalie Imbruglia song that was played every three minutes on one radio station or another a few years ago? Of course you do. Well, the former Australian soap star has a new album out, White Lilies Island, but don't expect to find any more eternal pop melodies on it.
Nikka Costa doesn't consider herself a sex symbol. If you've seen any of Costa's videos, such as the sassy one for her tasty breakthrough single "Like a Feather" or her publicity photos - the one featuring the top of her derriere peaking above her low-rise jeans is an Internet favorite - you're probably thinking to yourself, "Yeah, right."
UNM is going to get slammed with poetry tonight. Performance poetry is set to make a riotous stop in Albuquerque when WordCore, a band of national slam poets, kicks off its spring college tour at UNM.
Art often serves as the preferred vehicle for self-expression. Some want the flashy sports car type while others desire the sensible and long lasting Goodyear Blimp.
Ahh, spring. The Outpost Performance Space rings in this time of rebirth with a hot March calendar of Jazz, folk, chorale and world beat music - just the thing for a warm weekend evening.
Kevin Costner has done it again. With the release of "Dragonfly," he has officially agreed to reprise his role from "Message in the Bottle" - the grieving husband who can never get over the loss of his wife and is always thinking that she is trying to reach him from beyond the grave.
As a woman, there are many challenges I face daily: proving myself to a patriarchal world, living freely yet still remaining to some extent, "lady-like" and - this one's for the boys, too - making my parents proud. Yet, after attending a matchless art show on Sunday, I realized there is something I don't worry about too often - my health.
There is nothing like the issue of abortion to get people all riled up, including myself. Before I begin I would like to praise everyone, pro-life and pro-choice, for writing in and getting his or her opinions heard on this very touchy subject. Now, on with the debate.
Through the power of their music, folk artists Charlie King and Karen Brandow will commemorate the anniversary of two Italian immigrants' 1927 execution while attempting to educate people about the potentially dangerous consequences of the death penalty.
In his poem, "A Raisin in the Sun," Langston Hughes poses the question: "What ever happens to a dream deferred?" The answer to this lies within personal speculation - in a realm far beyond what most of us conceive to be real.
Australian country singer Kasey Chambers made a name for herself with her debut album The Captain and the hit single of the same name.
My first introduction to the Pat Metheny Group came at age 9, on one of many mind-numbing car trips my family took to California.
