OLD MAN MIKULA’S CONTROVERSIAL OPINIONS: Guide to E-Scooters in E-Town

OLD MAN MIKULA’S CONTROVERSIAL OPINIONS: Guide to E-Scooters in E-Town

In mid-August, publicly available E-Scooters were dropped off by rival companies Bird and Lime in the dead of night. Scooters have finally been wrenched from the hands of feckless early 2000s pop punks, automated, monetized, and thrust into the clammy grip of the average consumer. They came with no instruction, save a lengthy user agreement […]

REVIEW: Million Dollar Quartet a superb show from the supergroup that never was

REVIEW: Million Dollar Quartet a superb show from the supergroup that never was

On December 4, 1956, four great rockabilly artists met in Sam Phillips’ primitive Sun Recording Studios in Memphis. Two of the four, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, were there laying down a recording under Phillips’ direction.

LISTEN HERE: Juliet Ruin serves up a fresh bitter cup of Spite

Rock singer Jess Fleming would rather not hang out with narcissists. “They’re kind of like energy vampires,” she says. “They suck all the life out of the room. They make everything about themselves, they’re faultless, they don’t take ownership about anything, and when there’s a problem, it’s you, not them.” Jess is not alone in […]

MUSIC PREVIEW: Sonic all over the sonic map at Field Day

It’s just a little wish: Sonic 102.9 FM could be, you know, a little “heavier” – ‘cuz we’re a HEAVY town, man – but you have to admit they consistently play the widest variety of the new music, the alternative, the so-called “modern rock,” which is all over the map, sonically. Hence the name. Some […]

REVIEW: AIDS-era musical RENT holds up because it’s about the people

It was 20 years ago that RENT premiered on Broadway. Perhaps a couple of decades have blunted the musical’s ability to shock us – but it still is able to pack a considerable musical and emotional wallop. For a while, the musical was the longest running in Broadway history – 12 years. It won a […]

CONCERT REVIEW: Iron Maiden Keeps Beast Alive in Edmonton

CONCERT REVIEW: Iron Maiden Keeps Beast Alive in Edmonton

Iron Maiden proves that even if one doesn’t have a new album, a band can still go out on tour and everything will be just fine – as long as they have a solid collection of greatest hits, flashy stage effects, charisma, and an energetic performance. Bonus if they’re all over 60 years old. The […]
