Gallery Stroll: Camilla Taylor – July 2007

Posted on July 5, 2007 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

The queen of Vegan Erotica, Camilla Taylor, will return from the furnaces of hell (also known as Phoenix, AZ) where she has been creating her little darlings: voodoo dolls of the people in her life. Camilla makes no qualms about it: “Each piece in this series is the (co)modification of an idea of a person or type of person … the friends who you can’t quite trust…” she says. Camilla’s new work has her being referenced as a sculptor but her true passion is printmaking. … read more

Review: Morning Constitutions

Posted on August 12, 2007 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

Morning Constitutions Larry the Cable Guy Warner Brothers Street: 04.03 Daniel Whitney, or as America knows him, “Larry the Cable Guy,” is a marketing genius. Work with me here. When he first started taking his comedy to the stage, he learned that the square, irreverent white-guy routine was not only covered, but done much better

The Best of Vol. 2 The Kids in the Hall A&E TV Street: 07.31 Kids in the Hall was a popular comedy troupe in the mid-90s that brought Canadian humor to the states, relying heavily on satire, monologues and a liberal dosing of absurd situations. Like Vol. 1, Vol. 2 showcases the best of the

Pelican Show Review

Posted on September 7, 2007 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

Pelican has become quite prolific since their humble beginnings, partly thanks to signing with Hydra Head Records, and their associations with ISIS. It’s funny to me that Pelican started as a side-project to another band, Tusk, however it makes sense that the Pelican project would have a bit more success. … read more

Less Than Jake Show Review

Posted on October 8, 2007 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

Going to ska-punk shows does two things to me: 1. They make me feel old and 2. They make me feel relatively attractive. Ska-punk is an inherently dorky genre of music, and sad though it may be, the dorky tend to be less attractive than the non-dorky. Now I’m not saying that I’m a prime cut of 100% American Male myself, but goddamn those ugly kids sure made me feel good about myself (operative word being “kids”). … read more
