Matt on Music: New Skrillex EP “Leaving”

By Matt Rice · Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013

Sonny Moore, also known as Skrillex, is in a very convenient position in his career. He may not be making the most money in the music industry, he doesn’t have the most Facebook fans and he definitely isn’t the most critically acclaimed artist. Still, there are few musicians who are in the same spot he’s in; the spot where he can do practically whatever he wants because nobody’s going to change their mind about him.

Night of dance helps raise heart awareness

By Ashley G. Terrell · Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013

We’ve all done it at one point or another in our lives at your cousin’s weddings, your friend’s open houses and, of course, at your family reunions: Worked off all that food you’d destroyed in one sitting and when that beat pumped, ran like a maniac to the dance floor and hustled the house down. Breaking a good sweat and exclaiming in excitement, you were having a fun workout and didn’t even know it.

Christopher Owens’ solo debut, ‘Lysandre,’ is not good and has no key tracks.

Matt on Music: Christopher Owens’ solo debut “Lysandre”

By Matt Rice · Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013

If you were to look at a list of my favorite instruments, you would see a lot of diversity. Saxophone and steel drum are my top two, and also high up on the list are the bass guitar, combo organ, violin and ukulele. What you won’t see on my list, however, is the flute. On Christopher Owens’ solo debut, “Lysandre,” the first sound heard is that of a flute. And I have never heard the instrument sound as horrendous as it does, opening this record.

‘Urinetown’: ‘Les mis’ with pee

By Jess Salisbury · Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013

In a world where corporations rule and water is scarce, relieving one’s own bladder has become something of a privilege. Pay to pee or be carted off to the mysterious Urinetown, never to be heard from again.

Matt on Music: Yo La Tengo at Michigan Theater review

By Matt Rice · Sunday, Feb. 10, 2013

For their current tour, Yo La Tengo is splitting shows into two parts. The first part is mainly acoustic, and the second is electric. Knowing this, I was pleased when they opened their show at the Michigan Theater on Feb. 8 with an acoustic version of “Ohm,” the opening track from their new album “Fade.” I was even more pleased when they played the song again for their electric set.
