"Which Lie Did I Tell?" - More Adventures in the Screen Trade by William Goldman

Student Sues to End Summer Homework in Wisconsin, Claims Unfair Workload After Vacation Spoiled MILWAUKEE Jan 21, 2005 — A student whose vacation plans were spoiled has sued to end summer homework in Wisconsin, claiming it creates an unfair workload and unnecessary stress. Peer Larson, 17, had lined up a dream camp counselor job last June, but honors pre-calculus homework turned his summer into a headache. "It didn't completely ruin my summer, but it did give me a lot of undue stress both at home and at work," the high school junior said Thursday. "I just didn't have the energy or the time for it." http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=431206

Nas boasts one of the most complicated mythologies in hip-hop. He's the rare artist who qualifies as both his genre's lyrical savior and his own Judas, having betrayed himself for platinum plaques, hit singles, and a jiggy new image. Happily, Nas began the process of winning back his soul with the grimy (cut) Stillmatic, and his return to relevance continues with this urgent if uneven effort. —Nathan Rabin, The Onion http://www.theonionavclub.com/music/index.php?issue=4103&r=2

BAT BOY MUSICAL KNOCKS 'EM DEAD IN LONDON By NORV KEENER Bat Boy the Musical is taking England by storm, playing to packed houses at London's famed Shaftesbury Theater just as it did during its award winning run at New York's historic Union Square Theater back in 2001. And it's not just audiences who are thrilling to the antics of the lovable but mischievous mutant that Weekly World News made famous and has faithfully followed in dozens of blockbuster world-exclusive reports for over a decade. Critics are going hog wild over the show that the New York Post called "an instant classic" and went on to win the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical and coveted Lucille Lortel prize. http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/

Jan 21, 11:51 PM EST College Disc Jockey Rocks Around the Clock By MIKE BRANOM Associated Press Writer WINTER PARK, Fla. (AP) -- Dave Plotkin rocked around the clock - several times over. The disc jockey at Rollins College's WPRK-FM unofficially set a record Friday for the world's longest continuous broadcast by a single DJ. Plotkin, 25, took to the airwaves at 9 a.m. Monday and signed off at 11:03 p.m. Friday, a 110-hour span. A DJ in Switzerland lasted 105 hours in July 2002.

mixing desk Songs you've got to hear. Class of 2005 The M.I.A. record that has critics flipping out, and other great releases poised to rule this year. By Jody Rosen Posted Friday, Jan. 21, 2005, at 5:16 AM PT M.I.A. Arular (XL/Beggars, 2005) ...music geeks have been doing just that: going nuts over the early singles and bootleg releases by M.I.A. (née Maya Arulpragasam), a 27-year-old producer-performer whose debut CD will be released in late February....the songs radiate charisma. Anyone who doubts that M.I.A. is a natural star need only consult the homemade video on her Web site T.I. Urban Legend (Atlantic, 2004) It's no accident that "Bring 'Em Out," the current Top 20 single by Atlanta rapper T.I., features a prominent sample from Jay-Z's "What More Can I Say." T.I. fancies himself Dixie's answer to Jay-Z—hip-hop's reigning poet-genius—and he makes this point repeatedly on "The Greatest"... Antony and the Johnsons I Am a Bird Now (Secretly Canadian, 2005) Click here to listen to "Hope There's Someone," and here to listen to "For Today I Am a Boy." The singer is Antony, a pudgy New Yorker with shaved eyebrows and a songwriting gift to match his remarkable voice...."Hope There's Someone" proves that the right singer can make banalities ("Hope there's someone who'll take care of me/ When I die") sound profound. Brazilian Girls Brazilian Girls (Verve Forecast, 2005) New York's Brazilian Girls, whose debut album will arrive in stores Feb. 1, aren't shy about their cosmopolitanism. Italian front-woman Sabina Sciubba sings in five languages, and the songs ricochet among styles, genres, eras: French chansoncollides with a house beat, there's a dub-style setting of a Pablo Neruda poem, ska horn fanfares segue into a skittering drum-and-bass rhythm and a bout of scat singing. Annie Anniemal (679, 2004) "Chewing Gum," a song by the exceedingly blond Norwegian dance-pop chirper Annie Berge-Strand, is already a big European hit—as well it should be. It's three minutes and 48 seconds of pop bliss, with a bubbly beat by the British producer Richard X and a deliciously sly vocal by Annie, who, like any sensible would-be radio queen, records sans last name....

webhead Inside the Internet. You Can't Be Too Thin The skinny new audio format that will replace MP3s—and revolutionize Internet radio. By Paul Boutin Posted Friday, Jan. 21, 2005, at 4:44 PM PT It's a given that fat broadband lines are the future of online media. But right now, for Internet radio, the future is about slimming down—creating skinny little streams of data that don't eat up too much bandwidth. The key is a new and better audio compression format called aacPlus, or sometimes HE-AAC, which has been chosen by the industry committee that standardizedMP3 13 years ago (the Motion Picture Experts Group). If you've tried to listen to online stations, you know they sound grainy if they're streamed at any less than 128 kilobits per second—maybe 96 kbps if you're not fussy. That makes a broadband connection a must. But aacPlus sounds nearly as good as a CD, even when it's compressed enough to play through a dialup line. Don't take my word for it—see the results of the European Broadcasting Union's listener tests, in which aacPlus was deemed the "clear winner" at a dialup-friendly 48 kbps. AacPlus has been around for a while—it's what XM satellite radio has used from the outset—but recently it's been gaining ground. Future digital music players will support the format just as surely as they do MP3, but you don't have to wait—you can listen to it right now. Install the free Winamp player, which added aacPlus support a few months ago. Then click through the channels on the Tuner2 Web site, which all stream aacPlus sound at 48 kbps or less. http://www.slate.com/id/2112548/

Music Fit for a King, Written for a Dentist By ANNE MIDGETTE Published: January 23, 2005 Jack and Linda Hoeschler had a wedding anniversary coming up. Not just any anniversary: it was their 15th. To celebrate, they considered having a tea dance, since they first met at one. But they also wanted something more for their guests and for themselves. Mrs. Hoeschler, who was working at the Dayton Hudson Foundation in Minneapolis at the time, had an idea. She had recently advised the two composers who had founded the Minnesota Composers Forum. Why not, she suggested to her husband, commission a piece of music from one of them? Read more here: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/23/arts/music/23midg.html

TECHNO FILES Bush Didn't Invent the Internet, but Is He Good for Tech? By JAMES FALLOWS Published: January 23, 2005 George W. Bush probably won't be remembered as "the high-tech president." The strongholds of the biotech and infotech industries, on the East and West Coasts, voted against him. If his State of the Union address next week, his fourth, is like the previous three, it will say next to nothing about the role of science or advanced technology in the nation's economic and social future. The symbol of Al Gore's relationship with gizmos was the early-model BlackBerry he wore on his belt. The symbol of Mr. Bush's was his tumble from a Segway computerized scooter in 2003. Yet the Bush administration could end up being known for some technology advances that occurred on its watch. I am speaking not only of purely private developments - the renaissance of Internet-based businesses in this age of Google- or of the heavy public spending for military and surveillance systems, which is creating a vast new antiterrorism-industrial complex. Instead, as in many chapters of American technological history, some of the most significant innovations have been made where public and private efforts touch. In its first term, the Bush team made a few important pro-technology choices. Over the next year it will signal whether it intends to stand by them. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/23/business...ml?pagewanted=2

Birth of an Industry: IPod Loading John Gurzinski for The New York Times Las Vegas Technical Associates, a business started by Brian Stucki, above, downloads music onto iPods for very busy people. By JENNIFER 8. LEE Published: January 23, 2005 It sounds like a line from a spam e-mail: Work from home! Low risk! Flexible schedule! Earn hundreds of dollars each gig! But an emerging group of resourceful entrepreneurs says there is no catch. The rising popularity of Apple's sleek iPod has created a new niche service: the professional iPod loader. There are housekeepers to tend homes and gardeners to tend landscaping. Why not iPod loaders to take care of music collections?

I guess we have a few troublemaking kids, too. And...it's not even GroundHog's day Elementary students try to hijack school bus Friday, January 21, 2005 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Three 11-year-old boys and a 10-year-old girl tried to hijack their school bus near Punxsutawney this morning. State police said the four hatched the plot yesterday. Just after 8 a.m. today, one of the boys pulled a knife from a book bag and held it near another student.

Thanx for the post and welcome to BK. Sounds like a great show

Geoff Gilmore, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, is understandably enthusiastic. After months on the road, he and his team of programmers recently unveiled the roster of films that will screen at the most important festival in the United States. The lineup sets the agenda for the year; the vast majority of the independent films and documentaries that will be released in theaters throughout 2005 will debut between January 20 - 30 in Park City, UT. This year is a bit different though, according to Gilmore. He boldly claimed that this is the best list of films to screen at Sundance in years. "I have never been as excited about a competition that we have had in my 15 years of running this festival," Gilmore explained, during a recent conversation. A total of 120 feature films will unspool at Sundance '05, the highest profile screening in one of fou competitive sections. The most anticipated titles will screen for the first time anywhere — there are 87 world premieres and many lack distribution — so buyers will be bidding to buy the hottest films and get them on their release slates.
