Brown said that he questions if Canadians will end up with wet hands when they come across a dryer without instructions in their native language. "It's a goofy approach to a serious topic," he said. "My films don't take themselves too seriously." Brown's films include numerous landscape shots and also use time lapse photography, whereby a half second shot is taken of the same scene about once every half hour. All films are structured around Brown's voice-overs. "The most I'm hoping for is that the audience will get goosebumps," he said. Gray creates her films on 8 mm film, which is smaller than the stan dard film size and results in a grainier picture once enlarged by a big-screen projector. "Truck Stop Still Lifes" will show films that explore Buffalo. It's a "struggling city, with an aban doned downtown, a stagnant econo my and beautiful old buildings that some are too quick to tear down with out thinking of the historical preser vation that could have taken place," Gray said via an e-mail interview. Among the topics that her films ad dress are: frustrations about the nu merous "For Rent" and "For Sale" signs, a forgotten female filmmaker from the 1950s and 1960s, the little things one notices on a bike ride to work and grain elevators. Some films include voice-overs and music; others are silent. "Most of what you will see is old, old buildings that seem to have a personality of their own, a voice in quiring why we can't save what's left, and a reverence for the historical, the unpretentious, the solid and every thing Rust Belt, * Gray said. Ashworth will be singing and per forming on old keyboards during the set-up time between films. "It's just one guy and a bunch of keyboards," Not My House Mobile Arts founder Marc Moscato said. "He sings simple songs about people and places and uses keyboards from the 1980s. The old keyboards along with the old 8 mm film create a theme of using low-budget equipment." WOW Hall is located at 291 W. 8th Ave. The show begins at 8 p.m. and admission costs $5. Contact the Pulse reporter at natashachilingerian@dailyemerald.com. LINKIN PARK continued from page 11 There are few of the slip-ups or mo ments of spontaneous genius that make live music such a treat, and con sequendy this album has no soul. The music comes across as slow and lethargic, and the tracks drag along ploddingly toward the end. Because this is a concert and not a new studio album, the band plays only old songs, not willing (or possibly able) to dip their toes into some new water for the live experi ence. What is surprising is how poorly such hits as "One Step Clos er" have held up, and what this al bum's set makes most apparent is how similar one Linkin Park song is to the next. The record industry has made a concerted effort to make supplement ed music releases available in order to combat music piracy, but if this is the best they can do then I doubt anyone will drop $22.99 on a double-disc set with the same old songs. Basically, the entire project is a scam. If you're a big Linkin Park fan, you already own these songs and they don't sound all that different live due to post-production. But, if you're desperate enough to see the DVD, run down to your local rental store and pick it up for a few bucks on a rainy Sunday. Just don't bother going any further to support such ghastly artistic attempts. Steven Neuman is a freelance reporter for the Emerald.
