Marginal Minds: Danava
http://marginalminds.blogspot.com/2007/10/danava.html
From the first notes of “By the Mark”, you immediately are warped back to the days of LSD, free love and paranoia that were standard in the early 1970’s. With more of a British flair for the flamboyant and the epic, “By the Mark” plows through a close to eight-minute length with ferocity, fuzz and trippyness. Music, Film, Theatre,. Comedy, Beer, Philly. Cheap shots from the tribe. Mark Z. Danielewski. Micah P. Hinson. Intelligence is not a discipline, it is an experience."- Tim Levitch. NOTE: I don't pos...

Marginal Minds: Joel Plaskett
http://marginalminds.blogspot.com/2007/10/joel-plaskett.html
Maple Music's Joel Plaskett Emergency Lights Up Philadelphia's Fillmore at the TLA. Plaskett's new disc,. Musically, it's just interesting enough. Occasionally glammy- and once or twice, funky- Plaskett is less concerned with breaking new ground than he is in setting the mood and framework for his pass-the-bottle-around story-time. I hesitate to call. A pop-rocky take on acid-folk, but let's say that the album is just enough of a genre bender that it. Oughtn't bore those who - when they here the phrase '...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. 8220;You ever count the stars? 8221; Jesse James, played here by Brad Pitt, poses this question to a slow-witted member of his outlaw gang before admitting that he has tried but never comes up with the same number twice. The stars are always changing. Such an introspective exchange would have no place in a typical Hollywood Western, but in. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. If this movie passed you by in the theaters, b...

Marginal Minds: Band Of Horses
http://marginalminds.blogspot.com/2007/12/band-of-horses_17.html
There is some music in this life that is so comforting, so relatable, that you just want to crawl inside it to be reassured all is right with the world. The music on Band of Horses' Cease to Begin. Has quickly fallen into this category. While the band has maintained some of the forlorn sound from their debut album Everything All The Time. There are a few less songs on Cease to Begin. Contains far more stand out tracks than its predecessor, with particular regard to Is There A Ghost. And The First Song.

Marginal Minds: Devastations
http://marginalminds.blogspot.com/2008/01/devastations.html
Is just about what you've come to expect given their previous endeavors, their attention to production and self-awareness on vocals seems to have improved enough to make this a standout noir-rock achievement. Devastations' variety of dark, atmospheric, mid-tempo mood-rock could very well have been all over the soundtrack of the televised series La Femme Nikita. And the most discordant piano flourishes this side of Cold War Kids. Devastations live on YouTube:. Music, Film, Theatre,. Comedy, Beer, Philly.

Marginal Minds: Guy Garvey
http://marginalminds.blogspot.com/2008/09/guy-garvey.html
The music of Elbow, certainly massive in the UK, is still managing to fly somewhat below the radar here in the states, despite endorsements from Radiohead and their latest disc, The Seldom Seen Kid. Winning the 2008 Nationwide Mercury Award- an honor akin to to the U.S.'s Shortlist Music Prize. To compare Elbow's music to that of Radiohead's would be a cheap, lazy, over-simplified under-classification. So. that's what we'll go with. In all seriousness, one needn't wrack brains hard to hear some Bends.

Marginal Minds: Action Set
http://marginalminds.blogspot.com/2007/11/action-set.html
I see no difference in traffic lights and wedding nights that turn into knife-fights! Unimportant. Their more crucial role is NYC's answer to those who think that today's best undergound music is sole property of cynical hipsters and ironic bloggers. They may happen to be cool guys with a sense of humor, but Action Set is only concerned with expressing themselves the best way they know how: singing and playing guitars until booties are a-shakin'. Their cinematic dance-folk favorite, Give Up. Which, in ad...

Marginal Minds: Tony Gilroy
http://marginalminds.blogspot.com/2007/10/michael-clayton.html
From its startling opening monologue delivered by Tom Wilkinson, you are quite ready for the kind of film that Michael Clayton. Is going to be: a tale of the filth of corporate America, rotten executives and lawyers and the underbelly of society. Sounds like a film noir? To an extent, it is. Michael Clayton teeters on the edge of classic noir and the contemporary thriller. From first time director, but long time writer Tony Gilroy (The Bourne. Trilogy, Devil’s Advocate. Apparently this was a project he h...
