Civil Twilight channels U2 during show at Musikfest Cafe
Lehigh Valley MusicNot much in music is really ever new, and styles certainly are cyclical. So it should be no surprise that, 20 years after U2 introduced floating, sonic, scratchy guitars over a driving beat, it would be back again. And South...... -

Album review: Wilco, 'The Whole Love'
3 stars (out of 4)
After seven studio albums, capped by the summing-up statement “Wilco (The Album)” in 2009, the Chicago band seemed to be out of surprises. The music had soul and low-key integrity, but had turned predictable. So it’...Tags: Wilco (music group), Arts and Culture, Fine Arts, Arts

Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings have four things going for them
![The volume seemed to be turning up: Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings were moving away from acoustic austerity, growing comfortable rocking out. Their last album, "Soul Journey," saw these Nashville alt-folkies jolting their sound with electricity and a backbeat. Rawlings has stepped out as a producer — indie rockers Bright Eyes, the shambling Old Crow Medicine Show — and the duo guested on the Decemberists' breakout, "The King Is Dead." Could this mid-career acoustic duo — in its first release in eight years — be ready for a similar lunge into the mainstream?](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-09/65042150-27085914.jpg "The volume seemed to be turning up: Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings were moving away from acoustic austerity, growing comfortable rocking out.

Book review: 'Nicholas Ray' by Patrick McGilligan
![Nicholas Ray faced a roomful of film students. They had come to learn from the director who'd made James Dean an icon in "Rebel Without a Cause" and a gunslinger of Joan Crawford in the distaff western "Johnny Guitar." Ray began a mock exercise in filming a scene and the reverential students waited for his instructions — and they waited. Ray fell inexplicably silent. Minutes passed, then hours, and finally the students left, bewildered by the tall, frail man with an eye patch and wild, white hair.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-07/63554429-28004215.jpg "Nicholas Ray faced a roomful of film students.
