Why not celebrate his all-too-short career with a list of his top five films. Here they are
Month: February 2006
VLOG of the Week
Take Talk Soup, mix it with Leno’s “Man on the Street” segments, add in some basic cable access-level talent and resources, and you have the weekly television show Tiny Tubes. So why should anyone even care about it? Because it’s on the Internet.
Resident Stars
Shane Ryan and 16-year-old Emily Wryn are undertaking their own full-length film right here in Santa Barbara County, but they’ll need more than just drive and inspiration to do it.
Holden On
At an age when most people are just beginning their high school careers, the members of the rock band Holden had already successfully released their first album, Hot Lunch Wednesdays. Subject of a story written in The Independent in 2005, their name comes from the main character Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye.
Running Down A Dream
The Dirty Knobs, featuring Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, return to SOhO again this Friday, January 27.
Riding Shaggy to Hell
In just over two years and on the back of two albums, Po’ Girl-the urban-minded but banjo-toting trio of Trish Klein, Diona Davies, and Allison Russell-has been riding around in their van named “Shaggy” to deliver a synthesis of everything Americana to crowds throughout the States, Canada, and the U.K. Their latest Vagabond Lullabies entails everything from countrified rap to citified twang. They come to the Lobero Theatre’s Sings Like Hell music series this Saturday, January 28, with opener Jake La Botz, an accomplished singer-songwriter from Chicago. -Matt Kettmann
The Sound That Slices
The Scimitar Cooperative, a group of music fans dedicated to drawing indie, punk, and metal bands to Santa Barbara venues, has made January 27 a big day for hardcore-hungry locals.
Celebrating Experimentation
New Works, presented by the Santa Barbara Dance Alliance. At Center Stage Theater, Friday, January 27.
Unlikely Love
Other dancers contributed performances that fleshed out the fantastic mood. Silvia Rotaru’s lead faerie leapt from a dream. Autumn Eckman and Alyson Mattoon were gorgeous demi soloist faeries, and Sergei Domrachev (in drag) provided his usual delightful comic relief as one of Beauty’s sisters.
Street Dancing
For ballet so close you can almost touch the dancers-and a glass of vino-drop by the Central Coast’s only professional ballet company’s second Evenings at State Street Ballet Studio series, on Saturday, February 4, at 7 p.m.
