Best of 2010: Steve Earle and Daryn Strauss
December 29, 2010Continuing our best-of-2010, we bring you an in-depth interview with musician, actor and activist Steve Earle. "Tremé is the musical heart of New Orleans just like New Orleans is the musical heart of America, and I don't just mean the United States," says Steve Earle, who knows a little something about music. The longtime singer/songwriter and activist has played a role as a street musician in the new HBO series Tremé, and has a long history both with the show's creator, David Simon, and with the city and the neighborhood in which the show is set.Steve Earle, Where Should the Birds Fly, and Daryn Strauss

September 3, 2010It's 2010, and for the first time in history, a female filmmaker won an Oscar for Best Directing. Mind you, we've had four women total ever be nominated, so it's tough to win when you're not even in the race. We look on TV and see an abundance of women: Desperate Housewives, The Closer, Damages, Weeds, I could go on. We look at the box office and we see films like Sex and the City and Twilight, which had the highest grossing opening for a film by a female director ever. Even when it comes to comics and heroes, we were given Buffy.
