...hard to tell how much of the music in Digital Ash is electronically produced and how much of it is just Oberst’s studio band. Either way, there’s much more here (and somehow, much less) than a boy and a guitar: the mix is thick with drums, synthesized instrumentation, and gee-wiz effects. The first track, “Time Code,” opens with two minutes of electronic noodling accompanied by bizarre background panting, presumably from an onanistic Oberst.

Beibin’s film festival experience started as a product of suburban teenage angst, as is typical of the punk scene. In 1999, seventeen-year-olds Skot Beaudoin and Mike Carroll proposed a mix of films and bands in a baseball field in their hometown of Doyleston, Penn.

The plan’s publicized, if vaguely defined, line is that anyone could divert a small part of his Social Security taxes to a private account invested in “a conservative mix of bond and stock funds.” Commentators say the plan is logically analogous to the government offering to loan you money against your future Social Security payments to invest in the market...

As a boy he is struck blind by meningitis; when he is 13, his country is divided and his family, finding itself in Pakistan, is forced to leave Lahore for India and to start over again. A special program for blind children sends him to America; there, a wealthy woman becomes his patron and sponsors his studies. Mehta's calm, unhurried prose captures the fable-like events...
