Last July, Code Orange aired a livestream show, Under the Skin, from the Theatre Factory in the band’s hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The show was an homage to MTV’s classic Unplugged performances from the Nineties, and featured a cover of Alice in Chains’ “Down in a Hole.” It was the second time the band performed a livestream concert during the pandemic; in March, just as Covid-19 protocols shut down live music, the group celebrated the release of their new album Underneath with an audience-less show at the Roxian Theatre in Pittsburgh. … [Read more...] about Code Orange Debut Dystopian Video for ‘Autumn and Carbine’

In ‘The Snail And The Whale,’ Directors Max Lang & Daniel Snaddon Find Their Most Ambitious Children’s Book Adaptation To Date
LANG: I do thing it’s one of the best picture books out there. Like, I genuinely love it. I love the language, but also the theme is just so beautiful. It has this environmental message that is not too strong or too negative. It’s just really positive and encouraging, and it’s so relatable—this little snail who goes out and wants to see the world, and gets overwhelmed. The more she knows, the more she realizes how tiny she is, and how overwhelming it all is, and it’s so much about that. You celebrate the beauty of our planet, and how vast it is, and how overwhelming that can be, but then it really turns it around nicely, where it’s like you can still make a difference. No matter how small you are, you can make a difference for the people that you love, for your community, and it has all of that. It’s a classic tale, really. She goes on this journey, she has her experience, she comes back and changes the whole community. … [Read more...] about In ‘The Snail And The Whale,’ Directors Max Lang & Daniel Snaddon Find Their Most Ambitious Children’s Book Adaptation To Date

Democrats’ Choice: End the Filibuster or Watch McConnell Win (Again)
You look at McConnell using his narrow 2017-2018 Senate majority to jam through tax cuts and reorder the judiciary, and you can see why a lot of people — even people who disapprove of his aims — credit him as being a “master strategist.” But is he a tactical genius? Or is it just easier to bet against a functional government?He’s a smart guy. He is. But he’s also operating on a playing field that is dramatically tilted in his direction. And that’s one thing that gets lost in discussions about McConnell. It’s much easier for Republicans to win Senate majorities because the Senate is structurally tilted toward conservatives. And because of the filibuster, it’s much easier to stop things from happening than it is to pass things. So, you know, he’s been very successful, but he’s playing with an advantage and a lot of cases. Part of the reason we need to get rid of the filibuster is to take away those structural factors … [Read more...] about Democrats’ Choice: End the Filibuster or Watch McConnell Win (Again)
‘Lupin’: Mastering the Art of the Steal
Mainly, though, it all works because Sy is so magnetic and charming that questioning plot logic feels wildly besides the point. Though he never looks appreciably different in his various aliases (including one ill-conceived live-TV appearance done under old-man makeup and a thick beard), he changes his posture and voice(*) enough to allow for the willing suspension of disbelief, in the same way that Christopher Reeve once did when playing Clark Kent. But Sy and the show are at their strongest when Assane is just being his own Superman self, utterly relaxed and confident in his own skin, and so captivating that Claire can’t really resist him despite ample reason to. … [Read more...] about ‘Lupin’: Mastering the Art of the Steal
