  • T Miss Shows of November
    Mike D’s Top 5 — Can’t Miss Shows of November Top November Alt Shows in the greater RI area 1. Friday, November 8: Tim Kasher (of Cursive/The Good Life), Laura Stevenson, Littlefoot. $12 advance / $14 day of. 8 pm doors / 9 pm show. All ages. The Met, 1005 Main St., Pawtucket, RI. Tim Kasher is one of my favorite songwriters. His songwriting themes of love, loss, substance abuse and the pursuit of whatever happiness is while having an amazing amount of self awareness makes him a modern day Bukowski. After splitting his time over the last decade-plus as lead man of Cursive and Good Life, in 2010 he released his first solo record, The Game Of Monogamy, focusing on the nuances of relationships. His new album, Adult Film, is out now. Laura Stevenson and one of my favorite new local bands, Littlefoot, round out the bill. 2. Sunday, November 17: Johnny Gates & The Invite. $10 advance / $12 day of. 6 pm doors / 7 pm show. All ages. The Met, 1005 Main St., Pawtucket, RI. What a journey for Johnny Gates & The Invite. Having formed in Rhode Island in 2005 right out of being high school classmates, the band was one of the hardest working bands in the Providence indie / emo music scene, constantly playing The Living Room and Lupo’s. After flirting with major labels and grinding to get on national tours, the band moved to Nashville in 2008 and retooled. The game changing moment for them was meeting with producer Nathan Chapman (who is known for his production work with Taylor Swift) who took the band under his wing and found them a major label and major booking agency.

  • Hazel E Gus Sono Due Ragazzi Straordinari, Uniti Da Un Umorismo Pungente, Dallo Sdegno Per Le Convenzioni, Da Un Amore Travolgente E Da Un Viaggio Incredibile
    Hazel e Gus sono due ragazzi straordinari, uniti da un umorismo pungente, dallo sdegno per le convenzioni, da un amore travolgente e da un viaggio incredibile. Il loro rapporto è quasi un miracolo, visto che si sono incontrati all’interno di un gruppo di supporto per malati di cancro. COLPA DELLE STELLE è tratto dal best seller di John Green, ed esplora il lato bello, eccitante e tragico della vita e dell’amore. Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) ha sedici anni. Alterna momenti di grande affetto e di scarsa tolleranza nei confronti dei suoi genitori un po’ asfissianti. Si invaghisce, ricambiata, di un giovane di nome Gus Waters (Ansel Elgort). I due ragazzi iniziano una storia in cui condividono anche i timori e le preoccupazioni per il loro stato di salute, oltre alla passione per i libri, fra cui primeggia il preferito di Hazel, An Imperial Affliction. La ragazza ha provato più volte a contattare il misantropo autore del libro, Peter Van Houten (Willem Dafoe), ma senza alcun risultato. Quando Gus riesce a raggiungere Van Houten tramite l’assistente dello scrittore, viene inaspettatamente invitato ad incontrarlo ad Amsterdam. Gus intende portare Hazel con sé in un viaggio che potrà finalmente chiarirle il motivo per cui questo libro è sempre stato tanto importante per lei. Tuttavia le risposte che sta cercando non arriveranno da Peter Van Houten, ma dalla straordinaria avventura che Hazel vivrà al fianco di una persona che non ha paura di amare, un ragazzo che le regalerà “un pizzico di eternità, un ‘per sempre’ in una manciata di giorni”.

  • Omaha's Culture Club
    March 25, 2007 THE TALK Omaha’s Culture Club By KURT ANDERSEN When I tell people I’m originally from Omaha, they often confuse it with Oklahoma or Iowa. “Omaha,” a Manhattan photographer I met the other day said. “That’s near Nebraska, isn’t it?” Omaha is one of those ultimate flyover places, an urban Podunk so vaguely situated in coastal Americans’ mental maps that the mere mention of it can actually halt conversation. Sometimes I rattle off the names of movie stars from Omaha: Fred Astaire, Henry Fonda, Marlon Brando, Nick Nolte. Of course, this pantheon also implies that it is a place that requires its most exciting citizens to move on. Since Warren Buffett has become a household name, though, the city acquired a somewhat perverse new brand identity as an extraordinarily ordinary city where the most brilliant American investor and second-richest man in the country chooses to live, of all places! For the past three decades, I’d returned to Omaha once every year or two strictly to visit my parents, so my experience of the city had been pretty much limited to drives to and from the airport. But around 2003, I started hearing from New Yorkers that a kind of cultural awakening was afoot in my hometown. Omaha? It isn’t yet Seattle or Austin, but it’s no longer some kind of Great Plains version of Hartford or Fresno, either. “Alternative” and “independent” aren’t just marketing catchwords in Omaha. The blossoming is real and multifarious. It didn’t happen overnight. And it certainly didn’t happen as a result of any grand master plan by the city establishment.
