Music note: Billy Bragg takes brave stand against fascists and bad tea

By Jay Gabler , TC Daily Planet

Onstage in Minneapolis Friday night, Billy Bragg took multiple opportunities to let us know that he appreciated the fact that not all Americans are supporters of George W. Bush. The enthusiastic response he received confirmed that Republicans are distinctly in the minority among Bragg’s fans. In fact, if the crowd attending Bragg’s performance at the Cedar Cultural Center were representative of the American voting public, not only would Bush not be president, we’d have a national health care system offering medical marijuana for paper cuts and stubbed toes.

MOVIES | "Let the Right One In": Classic horror, minus the naked coeds

By Jim Brunzell III , TC Daily Planet

Horror films may be, artistically, the most dismissed genre in film, but the genre has become a cash cow for studios. Films in franchises like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Saw can cost less than $10 million but make triple that in opening-weekend ticket sales. Unsurprisingly, many of the older horror franchises have been recently remade or updated—a new Friday the 13th film is opening on Friday the 13th of February, 2009. Horror films have always attracted teenagers and college kids, who flock to theaters in hopes of seeing inventive new death scenes, naked coeds, and gore galore splattering from aliens, demons, monsters, and humans. Most of these films, however, are bland copycats that are simply not scary. Fortunately, that can’t be said about Let the Right One In, the astonishing new Swedish coming-of-age vampire film from director Tomas Alfredson and screenwriter John Ajvide Lindqvist (adapting his own novel, Let Me In). Alfredson and Lindqvist kick the doors in on the generic bloodsuckers and present a new horror classic. MORE »
