Against the Grain, Outside the Box, and Up in Heaven
Currently 5/5
By Colette Gaiter Photos: Trish D. Motolinia Consider the term “black rocker” in reference to a musician. It seems like an oxymoron. Black musicians do not play rock and roll, or so the cultural myth goes. Raymond Gayle’s film Electric Purgatory--the Fate of the Black Rocker breaks through those myths with the same intensity as the music itself--driving, relentless, and full of passion. Combining interviews and sequences from live performances, the film tells a visual...

Festival takes its films seriously
Currently 0/5
Fourteen-year-old Jared Eveillard is an articulate kid with mouth full of braces, a cellphone, and a part-time job. The aspiring actor -- who paid his way into an actor's workshop taught by film and TV star Michael Beach -- woke up at 7 a.m. on this summer day, took in a McDonald's breakfast, and went through his monologue, over and over. Beach, the former ``ER" and ``Third Watch" star and Roxbury native, was impressed with Eveillard's short performance as Cory in August Wilson's play...

Scene and Heard: Laura, Nef and Ana Play Out
Currently 0/5
It's fitting that in her review this month of Laura Thomas's new CD Slow, Carrie Crespo draws a comparison to Nancy Sinatra. It was the latter's 1966 hit These Boots Are Made For Walking that sticks in my memory, and it was the boots that Laura was wearing at her recent Knitting Factory gig that were similarly memorable. Laura herself made reference to them and was clearly pleased with the new knee high, titanium-healed purchase, for which she had shelled out nearly a month's salary. The...

Crossover
Currently 0/5
By Charlie Braxton A few days ago several friends including Cheo sent me a series of posts concerning the controversy over a conference on Asians’ roll in hip hop. The conference was called "Changing the Face of the Game: Asian Americans in Hip-Hop." It seems that the controversy centered on questions raised by Kenyon Farrow concerning Asian American hip hop journalist Oliver Wang’s comment which he felt de-emphasized the central role that Black people play in hip hop...
