The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

Satisfaction Guaranteed

8/1/2009 | Chicago: Lollapalooza is less than a week away and we had a little warm-up, of sorts, last Saturday at LaSalle Power Company. EnPrise & Deisel threw a big bash featuring a variety of local Lolla acts from past and present. Flosstradamus, Dakwave, He Say She Say, Yello Fever and, performing a totally new and original live act, Moneypenny all performed. Along with all the musical goodness, Tito's vodka was free for the first hour or so. I had been on a great run of avoiding hangovers and perhaps got a little cocky because of it. Let's just say I spent most of Sunday in bed unable to function like a normal human being thanks to Tito's and Milwaukee's Best. Oh, the Beast. Click here to see all the shots from the party.

Chelsea Girls at LaSalle Power Co.

Last Saturday, I headed downtown to this new LaSalle Power Company spot to check out a band my friend Dylan travels with to do tech/tour manager duties. They're called the Chelsea Girls from LA and members include Samantha Maloney (Peaches, Motley Crue, Hole, Shift), Allison Roberston (The Donnas), Corey Parks (Nashville Pussy, Die Hunns) and Tuesdea (Dj Tuesdae).

As for the venue, I'm not quite sure what to say. It is giant with three floors and multiple stages and the place was packed, giving me the vibe that at least half the people were in from the suburbs. Definitely not the kind of place I'd go on my own time, but still fun nonetheless. Click here to see all the photos from the show.
