Snack & Snip

Last Call, Hot Rod

The Trib and DezNews at it again. “Curtain closes on sad jazz season” and the “Jazz live down to expectations…” Wow, it’s like they have a book of cute headlines or something.Now I get it, you have to report what happened, and most knew what would happen, but these robots continue to not only be lazy, they miss the opportunity.Here it is…Last night was Hot Rod Hundley’s last call on the mike for the Utah Jazz.

Pause in Water Wars

The water wars on the Utah-Nevada border will continue for at least two more years. On Friday, Nevada’s state engineer granted Las Vegas’ water supplier a two year delay before hearings to debate the merit of Sin City’s plans to drill in the cross-border Snake Valley and pump resulting water through a 300-mile long pipeline to Vegas.

24-Hour Party People: See It! Love It!

Over the weekend, I discovered yet another person who has never heard of much less seen "24-Hour Party People," a great gem of a film starring Steve Coogan (Hamlet 2, Alan Partridge: Knowing Me, Knowing You) documenting Manchester's music scene circa 1979-92. How the movie managed to slip by so many music and/or comedy lovers' radars is strange considering how many folks freaked out over the two Joy Division films released in tandum last year.
