Award-Winning Story Is 84 Years In The Making

Tom Sitter won The Moth in Madison StorySLAM at the High Noon Saloon February 13, 2017. Tom scored our first ever 10 with his winning story that year. The memory of the girls he carefully selected to give his five valentines to in 1933 was strong enough that 84 years later he still knew their names.

The Moth StorySLAMs are open-mic storytelling competitions. Storyteller hopefuls put their names in a hat. During the evening ten names are picked, and one by one, storytellers take the stage. The ten featured stories are scored by teams of judges selected from the audience. Each StorySLAM generates a StorySLAM winner. After ten SLAMs, the winners face off in their GrandSLAM Championships.

The Silence of the Lambs as a Romantic Comedy

The Silence of the Lambs is such a thrilling crime drama but wouldn’t it be as creepy and (quite frankly) hilarious if Hannibal Lecter fell in love with Detective Starling?

Bruce Springsteeen Releases Cover and Rarity-Filled Concert From 2008

With his tour of Australia and New Zealand completed, Bruce Springsteen has resumed releasing classic concerts from his vault. This week, he gave fans his Aug. 23, 2008 show from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

On the 2007-08 Magic tour, fans began bringing song-request signs. Bruce seemed to revel in the challenge, while the suggestions also appeared to inspire him to resurrect songs he hadn’t played in decades. There’s no finer show to capture this fan-artist dynamic than this outstanding performance including the surprise opener of The Crystals’ Then She Kissed Me and Chuck Berry’s Little Queenie during the encore.
You can purchase the show from his website.

Family Channel Heats Up Toronto This Summer With The Return Of Big Ticket Concert

It’s the biggest event of the summer! Family Channel’s 6^th annual Big Ticket Concert returns Sunday, August 27 to the Budweiser Stage in Toronto. Headlined by British pop-rock phenomenon The Vamps, this year’s star-studded lineup is sure to have fans up on their feet. Powerful vocalist and triple threat Sabrina Carpenter makes her second Big Ticket appearance, alongside last summer’s break-out artists Josh Bogert, Mckenzie Small and Aviva, who are ready to tear up the stage. A Big Ticket must, The Next Step dancers return to wow the crowd with their latest flips and tricks, while series’ star Taveeta shows off her vocal chops. A can’t-miss concert experience for both first time concert-goers and past attendees, tickets go on sale this Friday, April 21 at 10 a.m. ET.

Back by popular demand, international superstars The Vamps can’t wait to return to the Big Ticket stage. The final act of the night, Brad Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball and Tristan Evans, have taken the music world by storm – most recently teaming up with Norwegian DJ Matoma for their popular track “All Night,” which has achieved Gold status in Canada. While fans may know her from her starring role in Girl Meets World, talented actress and singer Sabrina Carpenter has gained worldwide recognition with her full-length studio album, “Evolution.” The pop sensation first exploded onto the scene with her summer single “On Purpose,” and her latest single, “Thumbs,” has garnered over 20 million views on YouTube.

Hosted by The Next Step veterans Victoria Baldesarra (Michelle) and Alexandra Beaton (Emily), Big Ticket Concert brings Family’s biggest stars together on one stage. This year sees the return of Backstage’s Mckenzie Small, Josh Bogert and Aviva, each of whom are thrilled to perform new music from their debut EPs. Meanwhile Taveeta, best known for her role as “Thalia” on The Next Step, makes the leap from dancing to singing, performing for the first time as a musical act. An annual crowd-pleaser, the dancers from The Next Step mark their sixth consecutive Big Ticket appearance, but this time, fans will be treated to some new faces as season five cast members join returning fan-favourites.

Those looking to purchase tickets can do so this Friday morning, starting at 10 a.m. ET, through LiveNation.com. For the first time ever, fans looking to get up-close-and-personal with their favourite Family Channel stars can take advantage of the “VIP Package,” a special add-on featuring a Meet & Greet with the show’s performers. For more information about all things Big Ticket, please visit Family.ca.

Galaxie 500’s Damon Krukowski’s “The New Analog” Book Guides The Transition From Analog To Digital Culture

Having made his name in the late 1980s as a member of the indie band Galaxie 500, Damon Krukowski has watched cultural life lurch from analog to digital. And as an artist who has weathered the transition, he has challenging, urgent questions for both creators and consumers about what we have thrown away in the process: Are our devices leaving us lost in our own headspace even as they pinpoint our location? Does the long reach of digital communication come at the sacrifice of our ability to gauge social distance? Do streaming media discourage us from listening closely? Are we hearing each other fully in this new environment?

Rather than simply rejecting the digital disruption of cultural life, Krukowski uses the sound engineer’s distinction of signal and noise to reexamine what we have lost as a technological culture, looking carefully at what was valuable in the analog realm so we can hold on to it. Taking a set of experiences from the production and consumption of music that have changed since the analog era—the disorientation of headphones, flattening of the voice, silence of media, loudness of mastering, and manipulation of time—as a basis for a broader exploration of contemporary culture, Krukowski gives us a brilliant meditation and guide to keeping our heads amid the digital flux. Think of it as plugging in without tuning out.
