By Alicia Kim | March 2, 2010

As the 25-minute sneak peak at NBC's new Jerry Seinfeld-produced reality show/talk show fusion "The Marriage Ref" started to load on Hulu, I found myself thanking the network for not making me sit through the full hour that the show will occupy once it officially airs its pilot this Thursday.

Internet Meme of the Week: Techno Chicken

February 28, 2010

"Techno Chicken" is the ultimate culmination of the mash-up and auto-tune cultures. We've taken something pure and natural (bird sounds) and transmogrified it into a glossy, produced techno track complete with a video and neon lights.

Hop concert, multimedia to relate story of Irish immigrants

By sophia archibald | February 23, 2010

Courtesy of EileenIvers.com Courtesy of EileenIvers.com Seeking to express the experiences of Irish immigrants to the United States and Canada through music and multimedia, Irish-American fiddler Eileen Ivers and her band Immigrant Soul will be joined by students from the New Hampshire-based Cunniffe Academy of Irish Dance tonight at the Hopkins Center in a performance of "Beyond the Bog Road." The title "Beyond the Bog Road" refers to the paths in Ireland that led from farmers' homes to their fields, Ivers wrote in the program notes of the Hop performance. "One could either choose to stay in Ireland and survive especially through many challenging times like the Famine and Great Hunger of the 1840s or to go beyond the bog road' and emigrate to try to find a better life," she wrote. The performance will combine a variety of musical genres with dance and video footage from Ireland to relate this story to audiences. "It is really a celebration of the Irish [immigrants] who came to this country and brought their music, their songs, their styles of dance, their language, even, with them," Ivers said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Ivers, who was born to Irish immigrants in the Bronx, will play an array of instruments in "Beyond the Bog Road," including acoustic and electric violins and mandolin.

BOOKED SOLID: DeLillo waxes philosophical in ‘Point Omega'

By corinne white | February 23, 2010

I don't think the average person will like this book. I'm not even sure if the people you would expect to like this book intellectuals, philosophizers and Hitchcock film buffs will like this book. But that's not to say "Point Omega," Don DeLillo's newest novel, is not worth reading.

HEAR AND NOW: Smells like over-eager Hollywood execs

By Divya Gunasekaran | February 22, 2010

Lately, Hollywood has pushed the already close link between film and music even further with a string of biopics on famous musicians from Ray Charles (2004's "Ray") to Bob Dylan (2007's "I'm Not There"). Apparently, Kurt Cobain is next on the list. Universal Studios has been sitting on the Cobain biopic for a few years with little to show for it but a shelved screenplay by David Benioff, screenwriter of "Troy" (2004) and "Brothers" (2009). According to the Hollywood Reporter, Universal has now tapped Oren Moverman, who gained acclaim for his directorial debut "The Messenger" (2009), to rework Benioff's screenplay and direct the film. While I enjoy the occasional Nirvana documentary and was moved by "Last Days" (2005) Gus van Sant's fictional account of the end of Cobain's life I can't help but hope that my mental abilities are strong enough to stop the production of the Universal film through sheer force of will.

AS SEEN ON: No medals for NBC's Olympic programming

By Alicia Kim | February 17, 2010

While NBC's seemingly endless coverage of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics relieves viewers of the tedious task of channel-surfing, it has inspired a wave of disapproval from both casual viewers and the press, who are upset by the lack of live telecasts of Olympic events. Even my parents living in Seattle which happens to share a time zone with Vancouver are not treated to the luxury of live programming.
