...rockers finds its complement in both music and volume with Wind, which focuses not on the disaster-prone tour of a brainless metal band, but a disaster-prone tribute concert in memory of a late, legendary folk music producer. The premise is just the sort of odd episode that Guest has mined so skillfully in the past, but this time around he maintains little of the comic consistency that he has previously captured, settling instead for ham-handed punch-lines and tonally confused subplots. Guest’s distinctive mockumentary technique is not yet stale, but this latest creation arrives...

Both are sidetracked by unexpected relationships: Nick with his first woman, and Dan with an inappropriately frisky female guest at Stuart’s funeral. The film’s structure is initially somewhat confusing-it revisits the funeral and other scenes three times from the perspectives of three different people. But once the story gets going, it’s surprisingly humorous and heartfelt. Lawless Heart screens...
...Soulive have finally gotten it. Recorded entirely on Mac OS-X (a fact of which the band of brothers and a friend are inordinately proud) during their Fall 2002 tour, this self-titled release is the first of their oeuvre that truly captures their essence. Even though the abundant guest artists that grace their previous albums are gone, their absence isn’t felt—the live setting charges the bare organ, drums and guitar with an energy that is lacking in their too-reserved studio works...
