FESTIVAL REVIEW: 30th Annual Montreal Jazz Festival
Wed Jul 22, 2009
Story by Mitch Myers
Photo by Michael JacksonThis past Independence Day, I was fortunate enough to attend the 30th annual Festival de Jazz de Montréal. After clearing customs, checking into my hotel and formalizing my press accreditation, I headed straight down St. Catherine Street and ducked into the first head shop I saw. Buying a nice piece of glass, I told the shopkeeper, “I’m here for the jazz festival and last year you helped me out, could we do that again?” Next year, when I say that in Montreal, it will actually be true. Armed with supplies, some cash and a handful of concert tickets, I proceeded to spend the next ten days on a nonstop pursuit of music, food and other social niceties.
The festival itself is a huge operation, involving hundreds of musicians performing on a variety of …READ MORE

MUSIC REVIEW: 2008 SXSW Music Festival
Tue Mar 25, 2008
By Mitch Myers
So I’m walking down Lavaca Street in Austin, Texas and just as I’m about to turn the corner onto 5th Street, I see a mother and her young son – obviously locals – staring at a smattering of black-garbed people talking on their cell phones in front of Antone’s nightclub. “It’s just the music people, dear,” the woman said to her son, “they’ll only be here for a few more days.”
The SXSW Music & Media Conference has been growing steadily over the last two decades, and seems to have reached critical mass. To say that the number of bands, attendees, showcases, venues, panels, and parties has swelled would be both obvious and an understatement. Naturally, with the increased popularity the festival has its growing pains, that is, getting around Austin and seeing music during SXSW nowadays can be a pain in the ass.

FESTIVAL REVIEW: 2008 SXSW Film Festival
Fri Mar 21, 2008
By Mitch Myers
As in past years, the 2008 SXSW Film Festival showcased all sorts of movies: narrative features, cool documentaries, shorts, music-oriented films, midnight horror flicks, Texas-centric stuff, and a whole lot more. While comedy was the new rock and roll of last year’s fest, this time it was weed that was on everyone’s mind, at least for a little while.
Super High Me, the pot-infested documentary by comedian Doug Benson and director Michael Blieden was certainly one of the festival’s stoner highlights. Inspired by a quick joke in Doug’s standup routine poking fun of Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me, the film is equal parts weed, comedy, reality filmmaking, and pot politics. The film follows Doug through an excruciating month of no smoking (to establish a baseline) followed by thirty days of non-stop highness. With a parallel storyline of the federal authorities' continual harassment of medical …READ MOREtags: 0 « add a comment

FESTIVAL REVIEW: The 2007 Montreal International Jazz Festival
Wed Jul 11, 2007
By Mitch Myers
Once again I found myself faced with a decision: What to do for the 4th of July holiday? After much deliberation, checking my press credentials and my bank balance, I finally decided that the most patriotic thing I could do was go to see Bob Dylan play at the Montreal Jazz Festival on Independence Day.
It wasn’t just the Dylan show that I was going to attend. The Montreal Jazz Festival ran from June 28 until July 8 with over 650 performances, almost 400 of them free. I was going to be there for just over a week. The festival is extremely diverse and not at all restricted to jazz; there was also plenty of rock, electronic, and world music, lots and lots of world music.
Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and saxophonist Josh Redman both performed at the festival. Marsalis presented Congo Square with his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra while Josh Redman played it straight with a small group – and each man was at the top of …READ MOREtags: 1 « add a comment

FILM FEST REVIEW: A Brief Overview of the 2007 SXSW Film Festival
Tue Mar 27, 2007
By Mitch Myers
First things first, director Gregg Araki’s highly anticipated Smiley Face is a clever doper flick showcasing a standout performance by Anna Faris as a stoner who (accidentally) consumes her weird roommate’s pot cupcakes - all of them - and then tries to function with predictably outrageous results. Not bad for the first ever female-oriented stoner movie.
I thought I was stoned when I caught two movies in a row, The Lookout and Disturbia, both of which feature a youthful protagonist who gets in a serious car accident within the first five minutes. Third Rock’s Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the star of The Lookout, and he does a good job portraying a slightly brain-damaged young man who needs to write things down in order to remember them (a la Memento). This movie is suspenseful and its Hollywood ending is not handled badly, especially compared to Disturbia, which is a …READ MOREtags: 2 « add a comment

After attending the South By Southwest Film Conference + Festival, I have one question in my mind: What would President George W. Bush do if he were compelled to attend SXSW. Austin is the state capitol of Texas, so he’d definitely know his way around town, and being President and all he’d have no trouble getting into the more exclusive screenings.
Now, we all know that Bush is notorious for ignoring ideas that don’t compliment his worldview, so what would he think if he saw such powerful and pointed documentaries as Oil Crash or the credit-card saga Maxed Out, movies that show the new-world order, the inevitable results and dire implications that already effect common, everyday people like you and me?
Of course, there were plenty of films that Bush could probably get behind, like Rank, which documents the Professional Bull Riders Finals competition. But would Bush let his hair down …READ MOREtags: 2 « add a comment

REVIEW: MONTREAL INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL 2005
Tue Jul 26, 2005
By Mitch Myers
Like most music festivals, the International Jazz Festival of Montreal is intended to be fun. Unlike some of the other larger musical marathons, the Montreal gig actually succeeds in achieving this goal. Spanning 11 days and nights from June 30 through July 10, Montreal’s 26th annual jazz festival obscured both Canada Day and the Fourth of July and provided worthwhile entertainment—and plenty of other distractions—to approximately two million people.
Montreal is a wholly cosmopolitan city, and its French-dominated, European feel is well divorced from the US’ focused concern on war and terrorism. This year’s festival occurred the same week as the tragic London bombings (and the Live 8 concerts), but despite the sad carnage in England (and Sir Bob Geldof’s emphasis on compassionate consciousness) the summer ceremony in Montreal provided an ideal vacation spot for Americans in search multiple levels of …READ MOREtags: 2 « add a comment

GOIN' FURTHER ON DOWN THE ROAD
Tue Oct 5, 2004
By Mitch Myers
Are we there yet? No, not as far as Woody Harrelson's concerned. Inspired by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters' classic cross-country trek toward higher consciousness, Ron Mann's documentary Go Further follows actor/activist Harrelson and his cronies on a 2001 bus and bike tour from Seattle to Los Angeles.
While Kesey's sojourn was a reflection of in-your-face '60s radicalism, Harrelson's organic trip is strictly nonconfrontational. As a result, Go Further, released theatrically by Abramorama in October, is a surprisingly subtle doc that puts its gentle emphasis on important lifestyle changes, one person at a time. And rather than dwelling on Harrelson as the major agent of change, Mann finds an unlikely hero in production assistant Steve Clark, whose humorous transformation from junk-food junkie to raw-food disciple is enlightening and one that many of us can relate to.
Harrelson's levelheaded environmental …READ MOREtags: 3 « add a comment

Story by Mitch Myers Photos courtesy of the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal
It was good to be back in Montreal for the 24th International Jazz Festival (which ran from June 26 to July 6). While the festival’s music schedule was hit and miss and there were some fairly quiet periods in the middle of the 11-day run, it’s still fun to celebrate Independence Day in the progressive environment of Quebec’s most cosmopolitan city. The festival is big business in Montreal, where they close the downtown area from traffic to accommodate over 1.7 million attendees, most of whom are from out of town. The annual celebration includes over 500 music acts on more than 20 stages—many of which are outdoors and free to the public.
With Canada’s marijuana laws being so relaxed, I was able to find some good herb with the …READ MORE tags: 0 « add a comment
