While the future of the Brattle looks bright, there are still challenges that it must face. It is increasingly difficult for single screen cinemas, especially repertory cinemas, to compete with the huge multi-screen complexes that are springing up across America. Therefore, running such a theater is an expensive undertaking. In order to help fund the theatre, Hinkle and Moylan have created the Brattle Film Foundation and are in the process of turning the Brattle into a non-profit organization. Ultimately, it is up to the public to keep the Brattle going, and Moylan and Hinkle are going...
...ever has, right at the front of the mix, creating a funereal atmospheric as the dying, or possibly dead, Dylan whispers hoarse confessions in your ear. And now he’s wickedly, impossibly back, just when you thought it was safe to consign him to the limbo of multi-album package re-releases.

And best of all, he is Underground—known only to the backpacking elite, his primary means of publicity for several years was the internet. Now on New York City’s Def Jux label?...
...inextricably to the idea of Wilco. To be sure, the banjo isn’t featured on all of Wilco’s tracks, but it remains their most distinctive feature, and the cornerstone of their unique no-depression, “alt-country” timbre. And when multi-instrumentalist/technician Jay Bennet (i.e. the banjo guy) left Wilco earlier this year, so too did the all-defining Wilco gimmick. Bennet left behind a deflated effigy of a band, an artifact which in its present incarnation is almost unrecognizable (save Jeff Tweedy’s unmistakably textured vocals...
...ancient art of balloon sculpture has long bewitched art historians everywhere. Indeed, balloon sculpture can be seen as a defiant assertion that an object made purely for the pleasure of the populace can be re-defined as an aesthetic object with multi-dimensional resonance beyond its superficial meaning as the most mundane of all party decorations. We can see this glorious likeness of the Statue of Liberty thus as a kind of post-modern icon: a transformation—nay, subversion—of traditional elite definitions of “high art” through the medium...
