Brawl tournament– the first of which ensued this weekend and culminated in a bloody, though heroic, poking fight between bl00diRav3nXX and b0dy0dor420 over what I assumed used to be a Gamecube controller. Joking. But in all honesty, the […]

HEY LAAAADIES!—When you see a film called Women’s Prison Massacre, it should be obvious what you’ll get: Blood. Violence. Laughably terrible writing. And lots and lots of breasts. But this isn’t your average exploitation flick—it’s also a piece of softcore history. Because this movie has another name: Emanuelle Escapes from Hell. DCTHollywood Theatre, 4122 NE […]

SOUL(EY) MAN—Omar Souleyman? Oh, he’s just your average mustachioed Syrian techno-pop superstar whose sound became the most unlikely of global sensations. Often working arm-in-arm with poet Mahmoud Harbi, Souleyman combines traditional Middle Eastern music with beats and synthesizers, a potent mix that caught the attention of his latest collaborator: Björk.
