Playlist: if the Pixies came from Peterlee
Marginal Gains – Now If the Pixies came from Peterlee, they might sound a bit like this. Part of the East Durham cultural revival (and yes, that really is a thing) Marginal Gains started life drinking cans of beer in a recording studio because it was cheaper than going to the pub. That musical atmosphere apparently rubbed off, persuading them to form a band. Fast forward a few years, and the bizarre juxtaposition between a poised rocking trio and a shirtless shouty frontman is grabbing attention across the northeast – and is surely destined to turn heads further afield.

Hold and The Godling
Last evening at the Gene Frankel Theatre we were presented with a short, "Hold" and a full length play, "The Godling". Written by Mark Borkowski, the two plays had two different directors. Under the direction of Shira-Lee Shalit,"Hold" was a twenty minute farce that left the audience in stitches. The blend between Gerry (Santo Fazio and Bernie (Rich Pecci) was tremendous. Able to feed off of each other, the two gave the small theater audience a Broadway quality performance! Rather than make this performance campy, director Shalit went for the absurd and in doing so she hit it out of the park. While all three characters were excellent here, it was the brother's that brought this to the height of raucous farce.

Nothing But Thieves - North American Tour Part II
From the likes of Charlie XCX to the band of my dreams, Nothing But Thieves, it’s been quite the British Invasion in my head.

People of the Book.
The Urban Stages has put on a play that I like to refer to as a hidden gem; on off off Broadway play that is edgy, with great writing as well as interesting. Yussef El Guindi has written a play that has almost perfect symmetry to it. He presents four characters (a square), gives us four points a view; he brings out the jealousy in the men and shows us the support by their strong woman.

I've been picturing you naked...
If you decide to ignore all my other recommendations, at least give Ashnikko a shot. Trust me, it’s an experience you won’t forget anytime soon. The first time I heard her music, it was exactly what I needed—upbeat, fun, and not too serious. Just the vibe I was looking for. She embodies the story of how young people can overcome tough times, bullying, and strict backgrounds to become their own unique selves.

Alternative/Indie Music
Alternative music is broad genre that include many sub-genres, such as indie rock, emo, punk pop, and grunge. Some folks think of Alternative music as independent tunes made outside the big corporate scene. They argue it doesn’t have to be punk or anything specific; it’s just music that major labels don’t control. But I see it differently—it's way more than just being independent. Alternative rock, or alt-rock, is a genre that grew out of the underground music scene in the 1970s. At its core, alternative is a catch-all for anything that feels too "out there" for classic rock or mainstream pop.

Playlist: Ghosts, labyrinths and brutalism
Labyrinthine Oceans - Pinch The Oceans’ latest single came out last week and maintains the high standards we’ve come to expect from them. Woozy, hazy dream-rock, a firm grounding in shoegaze canon and enough originality to make these kind of labels their own.

Wolves
"Wolves" just isn't good! Stars George Clooney (Michael Clayton) and Brad Pitt star in a ridiculous silly movie about a cleaner, or fixer, if you will. What makes "Wolves" so bad is not as much as the weak story, but the stupid banter between Pitt and Clooney.
