Langhorne Slim, Ha Ha Tonka and Kingsley Flo ..Music Event of the Week TONIGHT AT THE MIDDLE EAST Langhorne Slim & The Law Ha Ha Tonka Kingsley Flood 18+ $15 We were raining accolades down on Langhorne Slim long before it was a popular thing to do so or prior to him becoming the star on the national indie landscape that he has become. Three years ago, prior to this incarnation of the band and before the songs off the new journeyman effort, " The Way We Move " (June 5 release) were even a thought in Langhorne's head - we had already seen his ferocious roar and the swinging of ...Ryan's Smashing Life25 May 2012

Book Review: The Mirage by Matt RuffBook Review The Mirage by Matt Ruff Billed as a psychological thriller, The Mirage is begins by skewing the world we know into a parallel universe where on 11/9, American terrorists hijacked planes and attacked the United Arab States, a federation encompassing most of the Middle East and North Africa.

And an engaging one, as Ruff manages to develop complex characters even as he presents mind-curdling twists of our reality: North America is fractured into several religious nation-states (though there's little word on what's happening in the Pacific Northwest), Timothy McVeigh is ...SoundRoots Global Culture23 May 2012

The The - Mind Bomb (1989)Matt Johnson, the main The of The The , once again returns his familiar themes of religion, politics, death and love. Undoubtedly the band's best efforts, this album sees Johnny Marr of the Smiths take hold of the guitars and lend to them his own distinctive style. In addition, the female vocal part on "Kingdom of the Rain" is sung by Sinead O'Connor . What makes this album stand out above other releases by the band is the quality of the lyrics. Johnson was never one to shirk the overtly political in his music, and this more than anything else ...Music Emissions13 May 2012
