The situation in Louisiana these days is reflective of the blues industry so rooted in that state and its neighbours, Mississippi and Texas: water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink.
In other words, for every good blues disc, there are about 10 mediocre or downright awful ones coming down the pipe. Surprisingly, some of the better ones we're seeing are from independents, not major...

Single women have been in the news a lot lately, thanks in part to the short but microscopically examined Supreme Court candidacy of Harriet Miers. It was interesting to see the speculation running rampant about her personal life, since she has never married.
As TV host Bill Maher noted, "Undefined sexuality in women makes (Republicans) nervous." And she would have been the second Bush sp...

LEAVESDEN STUDIOS, England -- It is a delicate time for the makers of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," the fourth of seven highly anticipated Potter films.
The three child stars -- Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Emma Watson as Hermione Granger and red-haired Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley -- are growing up, shedding their ever-so-cute boarding school uniforms for more fashionable looks, an...

TORONTO -- "It's been a rough few weeks," says director Atom Egoyan.
The Canadian maverick had received an estimated $25 million to make his "most commercial" film, with a "name" cast that includes Kevin Bacon, Allison Lohman and Colin Firth.
It was in the can, ready to hit a few film festivals and then head into North America's movie theaters this fall.
Then he ran into a l...

It was October. The eastern part of the city was engulfed in drizzle every morning. Trees, roofs and streets were covered with a perpetual grey vapour. On a day just like this, all my thoughts and feelings felt jumbled and strange. Finishing my paper early, I craved something hot to eat.

A disturbing case, a creepy locale and a plucky detective make for a compelling, if flawed, new mystery from British author Scarlett Thomas.
A girl is found, presumably a suicide, though police say it's more likely she was the victim of foul play. But police in the small English seaside town of Torquay are having trouble figuring out who the beautiful 18-year-old is. The suicide note is ...

I mean both that I felt, while reading Germs, as if I were Richard Wollheim's ideal reader but also, and more remarkably, as if he were speaking directly to me. I was engaged, in other words, as a reader (an admirer of Wollheim's exquisite style) and as a human be...
