Alcuni stupidi, naturalmente. Si parte con la consegna del titolo più ambito del mondo (o quasi), il Cannibale d’Oro 2011 di miglior film dell’anno, che va a… Il cigno nero, come già noto. Qui di seguito trovate il riassunto della Top 40 (in realtà allargata a 43 titoli) dei film preferiti dell’anno ...

January is traditionally the time when music journos, industry types and opinionated pop fans with an inflated sense of self-worth gather to celebrate what they imagine will tickle everyone’s fancy over the next twelve months. Or at least what they’ll be calling ...

Dave Hause & Cory Brannan Had the chance to see Dave Hause on Thursday night in a basement at The Gurley House in Akron. I’ve always been a huge fan of The Loved Ones and Paint It Black so it was awesome to meet him and see him playing some of my favorite songs acoustic in a basement. His solo record may have made it somewhere in my top 10-20 favorite records for the year. Definitely a pleasure to be able to take pictures. I hadn’t heard Cory Brannan until I saw him at the show and I was ...
