British Folk for the faint of heart

By Seth Forster · Thursday, May 22,2003 12 a.m.

Over the years, Richard Thompson would have managed to stand out as one of the greatest folk rockers in history... if only it were possible for non-American folk-rockers to really stand out. As usual, Thompson's three-pronged attack of equally raw and brilliant guitar playing, song-writing and vocals can be counted on.

Debut record to topple the critics

By Jessica Halverson and Jesscia Halverson · Thursday, May 22,2003 12 a.m.

Dan, Karen O, Brian Chase and Nick Zinner are so spunky. They're good enough to become the new rumored darlings on the critics list, chasing the strings and stocks of the White Stripes and such, while bad enough to earn the glamour of Tipper's Parental Advisory. This is the band you've been hearing about. And as one famed local record store owner says, "the album's almost good enough to live up to all the hype."

Turning 'trix: Moviegoers don costumes for 'Matrix' opening

By Robert Mixner · Thursday, May 22,2003 12 a.m.

When "The Matrix" opened in 1999, the question was, "What is the Matrix?" When the sequel, "The Matrix Reloaded," opened last week, the question was, "Would anyone dress in costume for opening night?" "Star Trek" fans have been going various places (movies, conventions, the grocery store) in costume for decades now, and recently fans of the "Star Wars" movies attracted attention by dressing as Jedi, Wookies and, of course, Darth Vader, for the openings of "The Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones."

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, May 22,2003 12 a.m.

The Wachowski Brothers have returned four years after the immeasurable success amassed by "The Matrix," with a sequel, "The Matrix Reloaded." While the results are astounding, they pale in comparison to the earth-shattering cool exuded by the original.

By Jessica Halverson and Jesscia Halverson · Thursday, May 22,2003 12 a.m.

Vocalist and guitarist VV can spin you from raspy Chrissie Hynde-sexy to the sweetness of self-endearment in six steps. Alison Mosshart (VV's real name) knows how to spill over with just a bit of self-destruction to make punk rock interesting, while avoiding the chick-rock stereotypes and your dreams of black leather and silk stockings.

My country tears of thee

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, May 22,2003 12 a.m.

Ferlinghetti sung his ode to the burned-out businessmen, those who left their neckties on the lampposts and became Troggs of the night. And so goes the worries of the world, buildings blown up by Arabs in Arab land, it sounds like Los Angeles to me. Why should anyone care when it's not happening to them? Oh yeah, didn't it?
