ELITE GYMNASTICS
Travis DeSimone. Corsair. Last year around June, Minneapolis 2 piece Elite Gymnastics released a double sided ep RUIN 1 and 2. Although they had been around the scene for a while this EP brought them a lot of international attention, being praised on Pitchfork and Stereogum. When I heard RUIN 1 I was instantly hooked. Washed out vocals riding lazily over...
The phone can wait
Tim Ajmani The Corsair One of the first columns that I wrote when I started working for the Corsair last year was about my dislike for people who use their cell phones while driving. Well, I just thought I’d reiterate my frustration with those individuals. Yesterday was a terrible day for those who drove with the way “Mother Nature” was...
League Of Legends
Travis DeSimone. Corsair. If anyone reads this section, then they know that I am a big fan of alternative business models in the world of multimedia. Whether it be micro transactions for a movie that circumvent the big publishers, or a band releasing their album on a “pay what you like” model, I am a big fan of new trends in...
The Book Group
Travis DeSimone. Corsair. The Book Group is a BBC4 show that aired for two seasons from 2002 until 2003. The Book Group is an interesting blend of comedy and drama, while having funny moments I felt like it had a more serious tone. The show was written and directed by Annie Griffin who also wrote and directed the 2005 black...

Quick thoughts on 2012 NBA All-Star Game
Tim Ajmani The Corsair Well, you can’t say there wasn’t any defense or physicality in the NBA All-Star Game. The NBA’s 2012 All-Star Game was held Sunday evening with the Western Conference All-Stars defeating the Eastern Conference 152-149. Unlike the NFL Pro Bowl held earlier in February, the NBA All-Star game got a little tight and heated at times. Kobe...
Naked
Travis DeSimone. Corsair. The Mike Leigh film Naked really struck a chord in me. Johnny flees Manchester for London after he rapes a young woman. Upon arriving in London he wanders around meeting strangers and talking with them. These scenes are more like vehicles for the film makers to question religion, and philosophy. Johnny is a fatalist and a nihilist. He...
