SYNTHETIC PLEASURES
Inside an unassuming building in west Winter Park, Joseph Rivers prepares to demonstrate the frequency response characteristics of his main mixing room. In this specially configured chamber there are bass “cannons” built into the walls, and finely attenuated monitors power up silently, waiting patiently for the signal which they must faithfully reproduce. Rivers looks over…
“Inside the agitator’s studio”
Terrorism experts have predicted that the Jan. 30 Iraqi elections would engender further comment from Osama bin Laden, who had called for a boycott of the event in a taped statement that was broadcast Dec. 27 on Al-Jazeera. Right on schedule, a freshly filmed bin Laden screed was delivered to the network last week –…
TEABAG FOR TWO
Sometimes this gig involves a little bit more than journalism – although most of the time it involves significantly less – and this little piggy has to do more than go to market … he has to go all the way to ho. The inaugural edition of Knock Knock’s cosmo cock-fest, Girls Night Out, is…
Pedro the Lion, Belly Dance Gala Shows, Pop Art Explosion and more
Thursday • 27 PEDRO THE LION We’ve been fans of David Bazan (aka Pedro the Lion) for some time, having seen nearly all his performances here (except the creepy Cornerstone ones). And we’ve gone to every show hoping to hear a favorite from early recordings like It’s Hard To Find a Friend or Whole, only…
BAR STAR
Editor Frank Kelly Rich’s bimonthly tribute to overdrinking – the magazine Modern Drunkard – is a 50,000-circulation glossy “about drinking and only about drinking, and not just drinking, but heavy drinking,” he told the Los Angeles Times in January. Recent features included biographies of great drunks, a dictionary of bar slang, and a testimonial on…
EVERYBODY CUT
By now, you’ve undoubtedly heard about Randy Moss and his pantomimed moon. With the NFL playoffs in full swing, the outspoken Minnesota Vikings wide receiver scored a touchdown late in the game, sealing the victory against the Green Bay Packers. Instead of spiking the ball, getting jiggy with it or pulling a Sharpie from his…

We get a grassy ass in Heritage Square and sympathy pains for Dave Plotkin
There’s been a shocking – shocking! – development in downtown Orlando: The benches have been removed from Heritage Square. That’s right, all the benches are gone. You want to sit and sip a smoothie while soaking up the sunshine in downtown’s only park space? Pull up a chunk of concrete, bub. You want to lollygag…

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Erlend Øye and Erik Bøe are the yin and yang of Kings of Convenience. One, with his introspective look, red hair and glasses, looks like a refugee from the high school chess club, while the other’s rakish good looks contribute to his air of rock & roll insouciance. Their 2001 Astralwerks album, Quiet Is the…
DISHING THE DIRT
Little by little, Mad Cow Theatre’s Stage Right is becoming a haven for post-apocalyptic minimalism. Christened in February 2004 with a memorably eerie production of Caryl Churchill’s Far Away, the space now hosts Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days, a willfully discomfiting two-act character study that alternately rewards and tests one’s patience for sparse disaster narrative. Perhaps…
HOME BITTERSWEET HOME
There’s a prologue titled “Magic” in Fierce by Barbara Robinette Moss, the follow-up to her 2000 memoir, Change Me Into Zeus’s Daughter. The text recaps a summer afternoon in rural Alabama, when the author and a handful of her seven siblings bought Mexican jumping beans with the nickel apiece they’d earned pulling weeds. After she…
FEEDING FRENZY
You already know the story. Two weeks ago, a small plane crashed into power lines at Orlando’s Dubsdread Golf Course, and a heroic passerby rushed to pull its two passengers from the wreckage. One of the men in the plane died, the other survived. What you probably don’t know is that the heroic passerby, Brandon…
