A new sub-genre in punk rock, read all about it (& see a TV report on it too) here ; there's a novel, bands/a scene, two films, and a book of photos. All the info. here . And here's the intro to an the article on Taqwacore: "Writer Michael Muhammad Knight coined the term "taqwacore" for his novel about a Muslim punk house in Buffalo, NY, which Knight initially distributed from the back of his car as a DIY photocopied zine. In time, the book found widespread publication through Autonomedia and garnered supporters, even inspiring the first woman-led prayer of a mixed-gender Muslim congregation in the United States in 2005. But something far grander was in the works; unbeknownst to Knight, a real Muslim punk scene was starting to emerge, based on the one he had imagined for the book." More here .

I avoided watching Momma's Man when it first came around because a lot of critics liked it a lot & also mostly because they made it sound like it was depressing, but, after barely making it through an episode of Californication (very painful to watch, and not in any kind of a good way, except maybe for the nudity) tonight and having realized that I've seen all the Office & 30 Rock episodes available on Netflix I decided to check out Momma's Man. I am about 30 mins. into it (had to take a break to help a neighbor), so far the movie is really funny - in a low key way - about a dude hiding out from his life in California at his parent's apt in NYC. In a way there is a relationship between Californication & Momma's Man. Both shows are somewhat about artists.
