ERASERHEAD — Two films from South by Southwest, “Crying with Laughter” and “Erasing David,” offer very different takes on the modern condition. The comedian of “Crying” must go to great lengths to cover up a misdeed, while the subject of the documentary “Erasing David” tries to disappear completely from the world.

One Scene staffer reviewed two films from the SXSW Film Festival with two very different results. The first, a Scottish drama called “Crying with Laughter,” won praise for its angle on the life of a sinful comedian. “Erasing David” lost points for its lack of believability. They received A- and C-, respectively.

Staff Editorial: Banning bottled water?

April 11

The campus-wide discussion about the Clean Energy Revolving Fund referendum brought to light a variety of student opinions regarding environmental policy and sustainability on campus. While the electoral victor was ultimately clear, it was also evident from the responses on the issue that the presence of passionate feelings existed in students both for and against. Preliminary signs suggest that some university group’s consideration of eradicating bottled water use on campus — as opposed to their reasonable efforts to reduce its use — may provoke a similarly polarizing response.

Titus Andronicus bring new ideas to concept LP

By Ryan Tanner-Read | April 11

When Titus Andronicus blew up in 2008, it was their lo-fi sound and literary references that endeared this New Jersey five-piece to hipsters of all stripes. They seemed like a decidedly cool band to like, and their off-kilter personalities and underground status made them an instant notch in the belt of indie kids everywhere.

By Michael W. Richardson | April 11

Modern art may need a facelift to get some popular appeal, but the Hirshhorn has a pretty good idea of how to pack people in to see some of their groundbreaking works. But the Hirshhorn After Hours, their semiannual party, was an event less about the art and more about the people who art seeks to affect.
