Trapper Schoepp Band
A Change in the Weather
Trapper Schoepp and his band mates look too young to have mid-’90s nostalgia, but the Milwaukee quintet’s A Change in the Weather makes
it sound that way. Schoepp and his fellow musicians would have sounded
right at home back when the earnest aesthetics of Hootie and the
Blowfish, Sister Hazel and Blues Traveler wended their way into the Top
40. But these guys also bring a jamband-in-check feel to the earnest
thoughtfulness, a feel that comes from being in one’s late-teens and
the ensuing early jabs at figuring out the world. So if Schoepp’s
overseriousness occasionally drags down his cohorts’ rootsy ramblings,
that’s not to say that they’re incapable of compelling, less downer
music once they can crack a smile—and have the world figured out a
little more.

Besotted by the cinema of silence and early talking pictures, Guy Maddin also finds humor in old movies-or perhaps the humor lies more in the distance between our experience of the world and the gestures of an antique art form. In My Winnipeg, the Canadia
For most of us, bossa nova is the distinctive sound of Brazil. The music was born in the late 1950s, conceived in large part by Antonio Carlos Jobim. From early on, American jazz musicians parked themselves within the idiom, sensing an affinity between th
California's Sound Tribe Sector 9 claims that instrumental music can reflect the tension of the times. In fact, the five-man collective considers its dense Eno-esque swirl of pulsing live and electronic sounds a means of "conversation" between band and li
The local restaurant Barossa, named after the Australian wine region of the same name, quietly closed its doors several months ago. With that closure came the loss of a very distinguished wine list and a menu that borrowed ingredients from all over the wo
