Here’s a quick quiz for readers: Do you think Lynyrd Skynyrd is a person? Do you consider croutons vegetables? Do you wear your hair in a mullet, short on the top and sides — possibly spiked — and long in back? Do you still wear acid-washed jeans and sport Def Leppard concert T-shirts?
Presented through UNM’s Media Arts Department at the Guild Cinema Monday night was the Academy Award-nominated documentary by Josh Aronson, “Sound and Fury.”

Brian Graham seems like he stepped out of a time machine that came directly from the golden age of American folk music.
If funk grooves are mixed with the intellect of high jazz and a heavy dose of psychedelic color and the whole thing is brought to a boil, the product might be something like OM Trio’s music when it performs original compositions.

I am tired of poor atmospheres and bad service at restaurants, whether it’s at a classy place such as Seagull Street Restaurant or a fast-food place such as Wendy’s Old-Fashioned Hamburgers.
The artistic styles of Erika M. Burrows and Marco A. "Tony" Oviedo II could not be much more different, yet the engaged couple make a harmoniously supportive team.

Martin Janowski wants to get young people involved and interested in government with the help of his new book of essays, "New Wine, Fresh Skins!" Janowski, who served as New Mexico Republican Sen. Pete Domenici's press secretary, certainly gears his book toward younger people - perhaps too well.

And they had a front-row seat to it becuase they grew up in the slums of Belo Horizonte, where poverty and crime was an everyday occurrence.
It’s such a relief to hear Todd Lewis’s voice again and know that the Toadies didn’t forget to record a new album. It took Lewis, bassist Lisa Umbarger, drummer Mark Reznicek and guitarist Clark Vogeler, who replaced original guitarist Darrel Herbert, seven years to make a comeback from the exceptional 1994 album Rubberneck, which for hardcore fans is just too long to wait. Luckily for us, the delay was almost worth it, and the new album Hell Below/Stars Above picks up where the previous left off.
"Tomcats" samples the humor of "American Pie" but is nothing to meow about.
