- If you haven’t already seen Jonestown, a documentary film about the Jonestown massacre, please do. Not only does it shed light on Jim Jones’ shadowy world of deceit and control, but it also gives evidence as to why folks would’ve been freaked out by socialist utopians. Of course, freaked out above and beyond the massive Red paranoia that already held the country in its grip. See also: Janet Reno and the Branch Davidians.
- Fiery Furnaces. Thursday night. After catching their last show where they played as a post-hardcore unit with Jason Loewenstein, I was reluctant to head out for this one. But they’re playing the North Star, so I can only hope the show will be woefully underattended. They’re supposed to be playing new material that will appear on their new album due this fall. So now my three favorite indie bands are releasing albums in the same year? Decisions, decisions.
