During the 1995 presidential campaign, the main issues were unemployment and social divisions. In 2002, the priority was security. But the three main...

'Tsukue no Nakami'

Dinosaur Jr "Beyond"

With a band as consistent as Dinosaur Jr, you would hope that their first release in 10 years, "Beyond," would sound pretty much like the band always has. And it does, with the same grinding, whiny guitars, the insistent wall of sound and the same obscure lyrics.

Don Caballero

If a singer can completely reform a band, yet keep the same name (see: Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses), then a drummer can, too. Considered among the best drummers of the 1990s American indie rock scene, Damon Che's frenetic, innovative style played a large role in the underground success of Don Caballero,...

'2:37'

A moment of stillness -- that's what "2:37" chooses for its opening shot, the camera pointed skyward, a canopy of green leaves framed against the gray sky beyond. It doesn't last long. Soon the camera moves earthward, and we enter an Australian high school where the calm is soon shattered when a student...

From near-death to a dream

It's enough of an achievement for a director to win an award at Cannes for his debut film, but to do so at age 19, that is truly remarkable. Yet that is exactly what Australian director Murali K. Thalluri did with "2:37," which picked up the Un Certain Regard award at last year's Cannes.

Earl Greyhound "Soft Targets"

A New York-based power trio, Earl Greyhound tends to get favorably compared to Led Zeppelin, so it would follow that the group's singer-songwriter-guitarist Matt Whyte should be a miracle hybrid of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Even a cursory listen to their long-awaited debut album lays waste to that...
