Revo Radar: La Fleur
Flower Power is taking over the electronica air waves, but don’t fret, this groovy spinstress is anything but mellow. Sanna Engdahl by day, La Fleur by night, this Swedish dancer/pharmacist–turned-DJ has been popping up on remix charts since 2006.

Sofia Talvik on The Left End
For thirty-three-year-old Swedish artist and folk veteran Sofia Talvik, it’s all about committing to the cause.

We know what you’re thinking… a two [...]
Thoughts on Theater: Theater In Movie Houses
I just got back from seeing the acclaimed production of Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.

This was a part of National Theater Live Initiative, a program that broadcasts outstanding theatrical productions [...]

Revo Radar: A-Trak
If you haven’t heard of “Barbra Streisand”, then I don’t know what the Duck Sauce you’re waiting for. That is A-Trak and he has been rolling the globe for years, his works even being covered on X-Factor and Glee. Well, enough of the puns (for now). A-Trak is just a “Big Bad Wolf” that started [...]
Thoughts on Theater: The Tony Awards
Last Sunday was the 66th Annual Tony Awards and as always, they did not fail to provide entertainment to us faithful Broadway supporters. It was a night full of tearful acceptance speeches, aging divas, celebrities who have very little to do with Broadway, and Neil Patrick Harris just being brilliant. In years past, I have [...]
