The British-born All Tomorrow’s Parties festival is a complete departure from the normal concert-going experience. It’s a musical weekend getaway that has consistently offered a roster of artists with a little mystery and oblique nuance. Here, obscurity and a left-of-center career is something that is celebrated.

One of the perks of being a resident of Western New York—and there are several—is the annual presentation of performances at the University at Buffalo, of the complete Beethoven string quartet cycle, due to the far-sighted generosity of the late Frederick and Alice Slee.

Torn Space Theater’s current offering is called Procession. This is another of Dan Shanahan’s original and elaborate site-specific experiences.

It’s interesting to see the different small-car philosophies in place these days with the major automobile manufacturers. Some go for glamour and glitz (Hyundai and Ford come to mind with their new Elantra and Focus), and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Others take a more low-key approach. And that’s where we find ourselves today with the new Honda Civic sedan.

An option for suicide “with elegance and euphoria” is how Lithuanian-born Ph.D. candidate Julijonas Urbonas (London’s Royal College of Art) described his “Euthanasia (Roller) Coaster,” currently on the drawing board. Urbonas’ model of “gravitational aesthetics” would be a third-mile-long, 1,600-foot-high thrill ride engineered to supply 10 Gs of centrifugal force (a spin at about 220 mph) to induce cerebral hypoxia, forcing blood away from the head and denying oxygen to the brain.

I know it’s wrong to buy term papers online and present them as your own work, but is it okay for me to sell mine? After all, I’m not dictating how the purchaser uses my work. (Which is good, by the way—all As.)
