Sundance Film Festival
Park City, Utah - Day 5
Anvil Rocks Sundance!
The most moving experience I have had at Sundance so far was from a completely unexpected film. Some readers might know of Anvil, a heavy metal band that has been rocking out since the early 80's. The film follows the lead singer and drummer, both original members, as they embark on a fledging tour and struggle to record their latest albulm, their 13th! Lips, the lead singer, is a testament to artistic persistence, despite mounting odds, age and family concerns.
Another movie is about to start, so I have to cut this short, but hopefully this September we will be able to watch Anvil together at the 6th Milwaukee International Film Festival and maybe see them perform live!

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
