"Messiah"
A visual interpretation of Handel's immortal masterpiece. Shots of the
chorus and 8 exceptional soloists are intercut with people around the world in
religious and secular activity, stock footage of news events and some
atrocities. Conducted by Marc Minkowski in its entirety. Even for the
non-religious, it's a glorious experience.

A purportedly new rap style hot in the South. The name "Crunk" was coined by
Lil John off his hit songs, "Get Low" and "Damn!" Check it out if it sounds
like your cup of mo-f-ing jive.
(9/6/05)
Featuring two lyricists from the heyday of musicals who, for all the success
their songs have enjoyed, remain mostly anonymous to most of us. See the
award-winning men as they present their classics from "The Wizard of Oz,"
"Fiddler On the Roof," and more. E.Y. "Yip" Harburg and Sheldon Harnick
delivered the hits to order, but were never on autopilot.
(8/9/05)
Vaudeville isn't dead--it's alive and well in Nashville. Sister Amnesia
(Vicki Lawrence) and her spirited convent sisterhood of hoofers and singers
keep the pace and the irreverence up in a variety show that plays to a highly
appreciative audience at the Grand Ole Opry.
(8/9/05)

Boy," "San Francisco Days," "Forever Blue," bonus tracks and photos.

Pages". 81 minutes with bonus tracks.
Femi Kuti: Live at the Shrine
If you want to know what's going on in African music these days, Femi Kuti's
fusion of jazz, funk, traditional African rythms, edged with the energy of
social protest, will be your answer. At his Shrine nightclub in Lagos,
Nigeria, his big band sound and tribal-clad dancers will have you on your
feet stomping to his Afrobeat. Documentary DVD and music tracks CD.
The Nomi Song - The Klaus Nomi Odyssey
This well made documentary captures the weird and singular spirit of a
performance artist with the cultivated image of an outer space alien. His
beyond-description music, which put him on Saturday Night Live with David
Bowie, combines cabaret, operatic falsetto, and the stark minimalism of a
cheesy 1940 sci-fi pic. Which doesn't mean you won't like it.
Dig (4/12/2005)
A messy home movie about the competition between two rock bands recorded over
a 7 year period. Much angst. Little talent in evidence. Winner Grand Jury
Prize, Sundance. A two-disc DVD set from Palm Pictures.
SoundStage: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers (1/11/2005)
A high-def concert in a two-disc set of this rock balladeer doing a laid back
but completely savvy gig. Many songs, many extras, a class production for
his fans, some of whom think this one of his best albums.
SoundStage: Peter Cetera with Amy Grant (1/11/2005)
A high-def concert by this Chicago alum with 4 good solo tracks of the so
genuine Amy Grant and one duet ("The Next Time I Fall"), plus bonus extras.

Haack: The King of Techno
This biographical documentary idolizes a musical phenomenon of the 50's,
Bruce Haack. From the time of Teresa Brewer and Mr. Rogers, the musical
rebel segued to "I'm a Party Machine" and a brand of synthesized musical
invention that has inspired Beck, Beastie Boys and others. Before you run
it, listen for awhile to the menu background music to get a taste of where
it's leading.
The Soldier's Tale
Animated version of Igor Stravinsky's tone poem about a Russian soldier's
return from the front and his bargain with the devil.
