...last year's Riddim Warfare, combines remixes, sound collages and general mayhem in a sonic soup that is equal parts John Cage, Sun Ra, Grandmaster Flash, and Aphrodite. DJ Spooky, a. k. a. That Subliminal Kid, a. k. a. Paul D. Miller, is a founder of the New York illbient sound, which blends the urban, rhythmic edge of hip-hop, dub and jungle with the abstract, ambient noise techniques of French musique concrte. And Subliminal Minded is chock-full of the sound. DJ Wally, the Dub Pistols, Karsh Kale and DJ Spooky himself reconstruct four songs from Riddim Warfare, ranging...
This past Wednesday, Steven Emerson, an award-winning investigative reporter, and in the words of the New York Post, "the nation's foremost journalistic expert on terrorism," was invited to deliver the Alisa Flatow Memorial Lecture at the Harvard Law School.

Craig and Lotte are an absurd, sexless married couple - pet store junkie and street puppeteer - fighting for the affections of mean, unattainable...
...Boston Ballet, one of America's top five dance companies, will be good. Their dancers are the creme of the crop, reason alone to see this show. But this show has even more going for it. Firebird's award-winning choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, a current soloist with New York City Ballet, is one of the most innovative and heralded of new choreographers, having inspired big articles in Time and Dance Magazine. Daring to re-choreograph an already well-loved ballet, in Firebird he creates a new masterpiece from an old one, his choreography departing from the Nutcracker-esque story-book...
