Afropunk :: "The Rock and Roll Nigger Experience"
Documentary gives alternate perspective of underground music
Two and a half years ago, James Spooner found his purpose. As an African-American punk who spent half his life feeling alienated in a white-dominated scene, Spooner decided to make a movie chronicling the experiences of black punks. With no formal (or informal) training, Spooner began a journey that would take him on a cross-country tour and introduce him to more than 80 influential black punks.

Kansas girl seeks moral center in KU alumna's novel
There's a famous 1939 map that shows the United States from a New Yorker's perspective. New York state looms disproportionately large, and everything else kind of runs together.

'Underworld' needs to lighten up
The premise is simple enough: Vampires battle werewolves in a modern-day setting. Yet the result is a disarmingly complicated story that grows weirder as it progresses. "Underworld" is neither scary nor particularly exciting -- somewhat of a drawback for a monster movie -- but there's something absorbing about a tale so steeped in its own universe that the rest of the world barely seems to exist.
