A new kind of show
By MEGAN WEAL | Oct. 31, 2013When Justin Bieber hit radios and television screens in 2009, it was because of YouTube. Fellow teen pop icons Cody Simpson and Austin Mahone jumped onto the YouTube platform and their fame seemed to launch overnight. Clearly, YouTube is a powerful place. It is a place that stimulates growth and confidence, allows criticism and thrives upon community support, so it makes sense that, this year, YouTube launched the brand-new YouTube Music Awards, set to take place online on Sunday.

By FELICIA HUNT | Oct. 29, 2013Album: Skeletons Artist: Sirens & Sailors Release Date: Oct. 29 Label: Razor & Tie/ Artery Recordings Grade: B+ Rochester, N.Y., hardcore band Sirens & Sailors might be commonly mistaken for Sleeping With Sirens, a more popular "metalcore" outfit, but that association could now be over.

A silent minority
By ERIC CORTELLESSA | Oct. 24, 2013When Bruce Jackson first met Kerry Max Cook on death row in 1979, he thought Cook was a "whiner." That was, until he learned that he had been raped in the recreational room of the prison - where the perpetrator used a piece of glass to carve "good p****" into his buttocks. Cook was 21 years old. Since 2000, SUNY Distinguished Professors Jackson and Diane Christian have shown over 300 films at the Buffalo Film Seminars.

Be afraid ... be very afraid'
By ERIC CORTELLESSA | Oct. 22, 2013Halloween is one of the most interesting times of the year for movies. Not only does it precede the period when Hollywood releases its slate of what generally becomes "accepted" as the best films of the year (in preparation for awards season), but it also reminds us of a genre too often reduced by certain sects of the cultural warriors: horror films. As we are now facing that time of year when people feel compelled to revisit some horror classics, here is a list that will provide you some excellent choices.
