Image From MyspaceNorman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart's miraculously meticulous 1949 film Begone Dull Care/Caprice En Couleurs was a groundbreaking detour from conventional modes of animated expression: an eight minute visual interpretation of a boogie woogie, painted directly on the celluloid. Piano lines traipse across the frame, pulled perfectly to the... continue reading on Austinist

If Emo's was Public Radio, tonight's event would be the This American Life on their show schedule. Or Radiolab, depending on your flavor. It's that good, and that cheap.

This evening, there's only one venue in town where you're going to catch some aggressive electro-crunk hip-hop made by two born-again lesbians.
