Shepherd Express's Brian Barney explains The Buskers as... "Milwaukee´s The Buskers are a power pop trio with members from Fat Sandwich, eVibe and the Orin Project. They are arguably one of the best new bands in the area. Their songs establish a stranglehold on the ears, keying in on hooks and melody lines that stick in the head. Although the blues influence is evident, they can also segue into a power-pop mode and produce catchy, radio-friendly tunes. One of their strongest cuts is "Honey Bee Rose," which features an ear-pleasing yet gritty performance from lead vocalist Ricky Ganiere, who croons around a gorgeous chord progression that circles an infectious riff."

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
