Sundance - The Whole Bloody Shebang From Soup To Frozen Nuts!!! It's Awesome Man!

Sundance 2008 is just over a month away. It runs Jan. 17-27th. This will be my fourteenth year attending, and I have no doubt it's gonna be a big year for independent movies. It all starts at this iconic festival. The Sundance web site is active and you can register for pass packages and individ... [More]

Fake The Season Bright

Fake The Season Bright

With each passing year, the Christmas season creeps ever closer to the Christmas season before. I believe at this rate, if the world were to survive Global Warming, Armageddon or Nuclear Annihilation and make it another hundred years – by the time 2107 rolls around there will be no point in ever tak...

Holiday DVD Favorites

Holiday DVD Favorites

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we thought we'd post a cool little list featuring a variety of DVD favorites for readers to check out this holiday season. As for updates (including my long overdue Vegoose report and a plethora of film reviews), I should have some stuff up within the next... [More]

Anybody Else Got a Complaint?

Anybody Else Got a Complaint?

In the last issue of the Independent (which is sort of my day job that nobody ever tells me not to quit) the editorial staff published a complaint leveled at an article that I wrote 5 months ago entitled "Losing My Religion." The plaintiff, "a California Woman just passing through," expressed brief... [More]

Vegoose - Beer and Loafing in Las Vegas

Vegoose - Beer and Loafing in Las Vegas

As we all grow old and enfeebled waiting for Adam and Kyle to slap together their Vegoose reports, I thought I'd sling one in even though I had to pay for my pleasure (e.g. I wasn't on the zboneman magic corporate ride) Well here goes. This was my first time at the Vegoose hootenanny and I have t... [More]

Vegoose 2007

Vegoose 2007

VEGOOSE 2007! I simply love Vegoose. While some multi day rock festivals suffer from daunting, over-lapping schedules and multi trek walks from one stage to the other, Vegoose benefits from the exact opposite. What's more, because there are fewer bands playing, artists are given the luxury of pl... [More]

Sucking I Am Legend From Both Ends - Pray Justice is Done

Way back in 1954 IDW Publishing hooked up with novelist Richard Matheson to create one of the most sought after graphic novels ever - I am Legend. Now just months before Warner Bros December release of the third film adaptation starring Will Smith, IDW will resurrect the out-of-print books with a ne... [More]

Adam Looks At Ben Baby Ben

Adam Looks At Ben Baby Ben

Ben Affleck took quite a beating following an outstanding turn in Chasing Amy and a Oscar win for co-writing Good Will Hunting with his childhood buddy Matt Damon. The years that directly followed would see him take on meaningless roles in films like Armageddon and Paycheck (that's an ironic title i... [More]

Augie March's Autumnal Treasure Owns the Year

Augie March's Autumnal Treasure Owns the Year

Well, we've finally been served with the album to beat this year. Or more accurately the album that no one has a chance in hell of besting this year. When I discovered Augie March a few years ago their Strange Bird topped my list in 2004, but I honestly must admit that as good as that album was, I w... [More]

Trek or Treat in Las Vegas

Trek or Treat in Las Vegas

Though I am not myself a Trekkie I read this report from their recent convention by our buddy-site http://theflickchicks.com/ and found it so interesting that I thought our readers might also. Thousands of "trekkies" from all over the world beamed down, I mean, converged in Las Vegas for the 20... [More]

The Latest Low-down on Lyndsay!

The Latest Low-down on Lyndsay!

So tan she looked like she's been wrestling with her demons in mud and filth, Lyndsay Loo made her grand and grimy return to El Ciudad del Tinsel over the weekend. For now it would appear that if she's heading for the deep end again at least she's starting in the shallow side of the pool. Lyndz and... [More]

After Dark Films' Horror-Fest is Okay - But OUR HORROR-FEST is the Chill Deal!

So Horror-Fest 2007 is less than a week away and I thought I'd take this opportunity to make sure folks realize Zboneman.com's Horror-Fest event is not affiliated with After Dark's November festival of the same name. And in fact, our yearly shin-dig has being going by the name Horror-Fest since 2004... [More]

Radiohead Radios Ahead

Radiohead Radios Ahead

Still the best band in the world according to many, the British mega-stars Radiohead are once again pushing the envelope by releasing their latest album In Rainbows as an online download. How much is it going to cost you? Name your price. That's right, I had to hear that twice myself but the fact of... [More]

Flaming Lips Flicker in Vegas

Flaming Lips Flicker in Vegas

Sunday, September 28th brought a free concert to the Palms pool courtyard by the Flaming Lips. It was all modern chic at the pool area with many different kinds of seats and balconies for the fans. I ended up lounging on a circular couch to the left of the stage because I felt like relaxing and stay... [More]
