Spotlight: Oscillate Wildly
From synthpop to noise to projections to Bob Moog tributes to eyeliner to big black boots, the Oscillation Festival is both a battle royale and x-mas for electronic musicians. DJ Kentifyr explains.
FOOD
Grapevine
In an overview of New Mexico wines, Jennifer Wohletz proves that we're all a bunch of winos over here. Sophisticated, classy winos. But how can you not be when there is so much fruit of the vine right here in our delicious state?
FILM & TV
Rize
Devin D. O'Leary is back and, from Ireland's Riverdance to L.A.'s krumping (featured in David LaChapelle's film, Rize), he can really shake it down. Now you fools are going to get served.

    Post-rock Ritual: The Appleseed Cast • Hospital Ships • Ghost Circles • Bellemah • rock, indie

    Lawrence, Kan.-based post-rock foursome The Appleseed Cast is relentlessly touring in support of their latest full-length, Illumination Ritual. While the work produced by the group doesn't exactly break new ground, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Making music together since '97, the Appleseed boys have damn near perfected the experimental indie/post-rock formula. Judge for yourself tonight at Launchpad (618 Central SW). Fellow Kansas crew Hospital Ships (who are signed to Graveface Records), sci-fi riffin' foursome Ghost Circles and acoustic indie-rock outfit Bellemah open the 21-and-over gig starting at 9 p.m. Tickets are only $10. Launchpad • Tue May 21 • 9 pm • $10 • View on Alibi calendar
