		<description><![CDATA[The first great film of the year is a small, and likely already out of the theaters, treasure written and directed by the genius behind 2004’s brilliant “The Station Agent.” Like its predecessor, “The Visitor” is a story about a journey from loneliness back into the real world of the living. In this case a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a huge sucker for that occasional ‘big’ sounding rock band not yet big enough for me to immediately discount, yet melodic enough to enjoy as some sort of profoundly guilty pleasure without the guilt. Unfortunately armed with a silly name, sure to polarize audiences, Frightened Rabbit are a Scottish band who seem like long [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Barely a month into 2008 and we already have a contender for the best record of the year. This is a soaring emotive affair filled with songs as ambitious as those of &#8220;War&#8221; era U2, and complete with an often oddly familiar sounding guitar riffs and vocals that almost allude to those of a much younger Bono.

		<description><![CDATA[There are some voices so distinctive, so seductive that even though the basic pace and construct manages to stay the same album after album, the music always sounds new. Mark Kozalek (aka Sun Kil Moon, and former Red House Painter impresario) is one of those artists. His voice is deep and oddly flat, his songs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Like a swatch cut from a cloth left behind by Nick Drake or the Fairport Convention, Mia Doi Todd’s sublime new album is that inevitable breeze blown in from the underappreciated British folk scene of the 70’s. There is a dark intensity that flows over the ten songs, and on the 10 minute epic opener “River [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t watch a lot of television beyond the odd HBO drama, but &#8220;Mad Men&#8221; is the real thing, more an epic mini-series than a cable drama. The sense of time a place - 60&#8217;s Madison Avenue - is about as authentic as anything since the real thing, except that the real thing was never captured in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Holocaust films are always hard to watch but the best, &#8220;The Piano&#8221; and &#8220;Life Is Beautiful,&#8221; tend to distract you with stories about distraction leading to survival. &#8220;The Counterfeiters&#8221; is the incredible true story of a Jewish master craftsman thrown into the concentration camps for, of all things, counterfeiting. Ironically this crime is the gift that gives him the chance to [...]]]></description>

I suppose this is because documentaries are extracted from real life, and as such are educational and historical. “Deep Water” is one of [...]]]></description>

In the fifteen or so years that I have been listening to Ida, my life has changed over and over again, switching coasts, jobs numerous times, and having kids. But on “Lovers Prayers,” the latest from Woodstock based husband and wife lead band, not much has changed. But I mean this in the best possible [...]]]></description>

Despite the relentless negativity and uncertainty that surrounds the current state of the music business the artists and the art that emerged in 2007 were nothing less exceptional. More and better records seemed to ooze from every pore of the digital underbelly. The long tail is officially alive and well, and thanks to the success [...]]]></description>
