Maria Pulcinella Murray: Paul McCartney Dominates Bonnaroo 2013
For anyone born in the last quarter century who wondered whether Paul McCartney's allotted two-and-a-half-hour set would be "too much" for the 70-year-old Beatle was justly put to shame Friday night.
Joe Winkler: The National - The Band of Our Generation
We make a mistake when we brand the National as broody or emotional and dark. It's distinctly music of the New Sincerity, the artistic movement of our time.
David Fagin: In the Wild West of Today's Music Business, Artists Need to be More Wary Than Ever
These con-artists use their former connections to legitimate people in the industry as a way to lure the desperate, eager, young singer-songwriters into their web; promising record deals, tours, radio play, etc., for a price. How do I know? It happened to me.
Danny Rubin: 12 Absurd Kanye West Quotes That Will Actually Help Your Career
As Kanye's latest album, Yeezus, invades our eardrums, it's a good time to reflect on his many, many head-scratching quotes. Yet buried under the rapper's bravado and considerable megalomania are genuine bits of career wisdom.
Jeff Sorensen: 4 Complaints of Man Of Steel (and Why They're Bullsht)

Faisal Al-Juburi: Changing Perception of Arabs Through Tabloid Culture
If people begin to understand through a certain amount of media osmosis that a person of Arab lineage can be one of two personality types on either end of the spectrum, then the hope is that they will also be able to fill in the res...
Mike Ryan: In Defense Of George Lucas
Since selling Lucasfilm to Disney, Lucas has stated publically that he will be a "creative consultant" on the upcoming sequels. I do think the new, Disney-owned Lucasfilm wants to distance itself from the prequels, judging from its decision to cancel The Clone Wars, a show that just won an Emmy. Show More Summary
Maria Pulcinella Murray: Alt-J, Ariel Pink Kickstart Bonnaroo XII

Liz Smith: Delia Ephron's Brilliant Sister Mother Husband Dog Emily Blunt Goes Into the Woods With Meryl Streep
David Bowie took a 10-year hiatus with a new album titled "The Next Day," released last March. But now his international retrospective of an entire important career is at London's Victoria & Albert Museum through August 11. One hopes it will come to America.
Carl Pettit: The Joys of a Zombie Apocalypse
People are drawn to zombies for a variety of reasons. For some, it's just good, untidy fun. If your marksmanship is spot on, you'll be rewarded with a splash of satisfying gore.
Marshall Fine: Movie Review: Unfinished Song

This season's extravaganza 3D epic, WWZ based on Max Brooks' 2006 novel and directed by Mark Forster opens with a traffic jam in Philadelphia: a...
Daniel Sunjata: Fractal and the Rabbit Hole
If I've learned anything from my experience shooting our show, it is that I much prefer the retouched facsimile to the unvarnished original. I could never do their job in real life; tight-rope walking on a razor's edge of endless moral ambiguity.
Rob Taub: Ed Pressman and Al Pacino Set to Make Paterno Film
Ed Pressman is putting together what looks to be a very interesting and controversial feature film about Joe Paterno. Brian De Palma is set to direct and Al Pacino will play the legendary yet ultimately disgraced coach.
Laura Wellington: Feeding The Machine Versus Breaking The Mold: Exchanging Hunger For Dollars In Food TV!
