Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...2/20/25

by Danny Coleman

"We're really excited," began Allie Colleen, "We spoke to some people last week who have seen a couple of shows at the winery who said they were really good shows and they were acoustic shows. So, I'm really interested to soundcheck the band because soundcheck is my favorite thing; it sounds so whimsical and maybe a little silly but it's like the first time you get to meet somebody. It's the first time you get to sing in a room and nobody is in there and your show is gonna be so different later hopefully; hopefully people show up and there are a lot of people in the room and it's gonna be a little different. There is something really cool about that for me. I had a little tiny stage in this sports barn that we had on my family's property and that's where I spent all of my time, alone on this little stage that was about an inch off of the ground but it was a stage, it wasn't floor level and I thought that was the coolest thing and I think something like that has made me fall in love with big empty rooms to sing in."

The Songs That Made Me: My Personal Hall of Fame

by Gary Wien
published 2025-02-20

The cliché is that people often think the best music of their life came out when they were a teenager and they sort of tune out new songs as they get older. I never really agreed with that idea and wanted to put it to the test. What are the songs that mean the most to me throughout my life? The ones you hear the chorus as soon as you see the title? When did they come out? And did I ever stop listening to new music?



New Release Review - "To A Land Unknown"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-02-19

Films tackling the experience of refugees in Europe have mostly been authored by filmmakers from the sort of European countries that attract refugees. In attempting to empathise with people whose experiences they could never really comprehend, such filmmakers tend to deliver well intentioned yet patronising portrayals of refugees as angelic figures victimised by various cruel and exploitative systems.
