TRUCK STOP

speaking regions. 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.

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.
