GUITAR REVIEW
Worth the wait
09/02/2012 : Put a flamenco fire duo from Spain together with a shoe-stomping fret-tapping virtuoso from Ukraine; throw the top tango trio from Argentina in with the best Bach player in the world, and you have the second annual Bangkok Guitar Fiesta 2012.
How far, how fast?
09/02/2012 : We _ you and me, mankind _ come from mud. About four billion years ago, an explosive cocktail of bacteria and organisms, sparked into life and began to divide. Life began. There were tiny organisms, stupid bacteria that did not even know how to breed, but somehow reproduced anyway.
An evening of early music
09/02/2012 : D & M Music Studio presents "An Early Music Recital" sung by internationally acclaimed Belgian countertenor, Patrick Van Goethem, at Goethe Institute Bangkok on Feb 16 at 8pm.
Lethal trade
09/02/2012 : Will Hayden and his team of gunsmiths at Baton Rouge-based Red Jacket Firearms are hired to do the impossible _ make an extremely rare Civil War cannon fire, 150 years after it last saw action; create a twin M16 gun mount that can fire hundreds of rounds a minute without changing magazines for a Navy special teams boat gunner; and restore a flamethrower as a tribute to a World War II Marine Veteran and Medal of Honor recipient.
In Full Bloom
08/02/2012 : It was the stare that always got you. The bold, direct, Cleopatran stare of a woman who knows that she holds the reins simply because she's very comfortable in her own skin. In the '80s, her fame came from posing for sultry, eroticised photos that steamed up the rooms of men, young and old. Now Penpak Sirikul is 51. She has a 30-year-old son. She has no beau at the moment ("I won't hide, I never hide"). But she stares you down and disembowels you with her smouldering, black-widow heat. Look closely, boys: even now, Penpak doesn't do seduction. She is seduction.
THEATRE REVIEWS
Theatre of (losing) control
08/02/2012 : A man's life swerves out of control when a car hits and kills his daughter on her way to her piano lesson. The man behind the wheel is a stage hypnotist, whose ability to guide people's mind out of the realm of reality falls to pieces after the accident. Tim Crouch's An Oak Tree, which tells the story of these two men and their encounter three months after the tragedy, leads us out of the conventional state of control in theatre and into another form of hypnotic state.

Cheering The Underdog
08/02/2012 : When Luke Cassady-Dorion speaks Thai, he immediately charms most Thais he talks to with his surprising fluency and Thai-at-heart personality. And last month, as a documentary film-maker, Cassady-Dorion impressed Thai audiences with his debut film that every Thai should be proud of.
When death comes knocking
08/02/2012 : Damkerng Thitapiyasak and Parnrut Kritchanchai often produce the kind of theatre in which easy laughter can be expected, even _ or perhaps, especially _ when they deal with subjects like loss, ageing or death. But Ngao Matchurat (The Shadow Box), the latest production from New Theatre Society and Democrazy Theatre Studio, confronts one of our biggest fears and ends up eliciting more tears than titters.
