The music section turns political this week while the music editor prowls the corridors of General Hospital. You can can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant, but you won't be able to view a certain art exhibit at a London museum. As usual, if it's happening somewhere, Blogcritics are covering it. If you're interested in reading about it, we've probably written about it, so whatever your interests, you're sure to find something here.

Let me remind those of you who are chosen that you are invited to submit your own pick for next week (due to space considerations, please limit it to one). Please feel free to email me your picks (including the URL) by next Tuesday.

MUSIC

From Music Editor Connie Phillips:

In Sharp, Pointy Things: Angular Music, Edward Dunn's first contribution to Blogcritics, he takes an interesting and entertaining look at the adjective angular and how it's applied across the genres.

John Owen's CD Review: Bobby Previte's Coalition of the Willing explores what is new music to him and gives us his in-depth perspective with a style and voice all his own.

Right Wing Mag Names Top 50 Conservative Songs is Pete Blackwell's critical look at the list generated by the National Review. Take the time to read this one and join the growing conversation in the comments. 

BOOKS

From Books Editor Natalie Bennett:

One of the great things about reading a new Blogcritics' book review is learning about the contributor's enthusiasms. So often the writers' passion for the subjects of the books they are presenting to the world shine through.

Two reviews this week certainly fitted this description.

Dan Traeger introduced Little White Mouse, "the best comic book you're not reading". Dan entertainingly weaved together a plea to support the author with an account of his meetings with him and an enticing description of the text.

Thomas M. Sipos reviewed Ten Years of Terror: British Horror Films of the Seventies. Personally, the first sign of blood in a movie has me diving behind the sofa, but Thomas is obviously made of sterner stuff: "There's meat - and blood and guts and gore. This is a beautiful book."

TV/FILM

AlbertaLife's TV: A Bag Of Goodies — Or Is It? should hit the networks where it hurts — in the family jewels. A no-holds-barred look at programming mistakes and a bit of a tongue lashing echoing my sentiments left me smiling and nodding my head.
