Kings of Leon Find Inspiration in Americananew
With songs conjuring trips along dusty back roads or, at the very least, a night chalking up pool cues, Only by the Night doesn’t veer far from the southern-fried rock Kings listeners have come to expect.

In Defense of M. Night Shyamalannew
Like an otherwise artsy band who garners commercial success on the strength of one atypically radio-friendly song, with The Sixth Sense Shyamalan established a base of moviegoers who have since strained to find the same sort of big-box-office spookiness and twists instead of recognizing what each subsequent film has actually had to offer.

Daniel Baldwin’s San Antonio Mission: TV, Film and Sobrietynew
“My sobriety is nobody’s business,” he told the Current during an August 25 meeting at the Bauhaus Media Group studios, where he’s in post-production of the film he’s directing, Wisdom. The movie was shot in San Antonio, except for a scene in Malibu, California (“I’ll sell it as Corpus,” he laughs). He gave me the exact day of his sobriety (which I won’t share) but, after telling me “there’s a lot of lies that were written about me,” insists he won’t talk about it.
Yet, little by little, he opened up and told us about how inspiring the Wisdom journey has been for him and, hopefully, others.

Pussy Riot Won the Warnew
The Sex Pistols have nothing on Pussy Riot. While Johnny Rotten and co. changed the course of music with only one album and two years of live performances, all the Russian feminist art collective/punk band needed to make an impact was 40 seconds (and no album).
