Art exhibit displays contrasting styles
Emily Sperry | April 5The artistic styles of Erika M. Burrows and Marco A. "Tony" Oviedo II could not be much more different, yet the engaged couple make a harmoniously supportive team. Between now and April 30, Burrows and Oviedo will have a series of paintings and drawings titled "A Household of Beauty: A Tale of Trees & Flowers and the Value of Line," on display at Irysh Mac's Coffee House, 110 Yale Blvd. S.E. The exhibit features the contrasting elements of Burrows' botanical-based illustrations and Oviedo's highly linear and meditative images.

Museum opts to postpone hearing on `Our Lady'
Ben Delaney | April 5SANTA FE - Numerous State Troopers and Santa Fe Police stood shoulder-to-shoulder blocking the entrance to a community hearing on a bikini-clad depiction of Our Lady of Guadalupe at the Museum of International Folk Art Wednesday morning. The 10 a.m. hearing called by the Board of Regents of the Museum of New Mexico sought public input on the continuing exhibition of Alma L¢pez's "Our Lady" in the exhibit "Cyber Arte: Tradition Meets Technology." The hearing was supposed to be held in the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture next door to the folk art museum and the room quickly filled with more than 300 people. Santa Fe Police and State Troopers blocked another 200 people who sought entrance to the hearing, citing orders from the fire marshal.

Political writer's tactics insulting
Angela Williams | April 5Martin Janowski wants to get young people involved and interested in government with the help of his new book of essays, "New Wine, Fresh Skins!" Janowski, who served as New Mexico Republican Sen. Pete Domenici's press secretary, certainly gears his book toward younger people - perhaps too well. The majority of his writing manages to talk down to an audience presumably ignorant of government proceedings, as if explaining to a five-year-old where babies come from.

Band picks up where leaped off
Rachel Heisler | April 4It’s such a relief to hear Todd Lewis’s voice again and know that the Toadies didn’t forget to record a new album. It took Lewis, bassist Lisa Umbarger, drummer Mark Reznicek and guitarist Clark Vogeler, who replaced original guitarist Darrel Herbert, seven years to make a comeback from the exceptional 1994 album Rubberneck, which for hardcore fans is just too long to wait. Luckily for us, the delay was almost worth it, and the new album Hell Below/Stars Above picks up where the previous left off.

Sepultura still has its edge
Ron Gonzales | April 4Back when Metallica ruled the metal underground, a festering sore of a band was lurking in the shadows to take the groundwork laid by the now-mainstream group and twist, jump on and grind it into submission. Sepultura’s music was angrier, faster and more bludgeoning than most bands at the time, and it wouldn’t be long before the group took the mainstream by its throat. By the end of the ’80s, the Brazilian metal gods had come to the forefront of the music scene and made a name for themselves for calling to mind the anguish in the world. And they had a front-row seat to it becuase they grew up in the slums of Belo Horizonte, where poverty and crime was an everyday occurrence.
