Virgin Fest 2008: Loudest Band of the Fest?

I nominate Black Rebel Motorcycle Club for Loudest Band on the North Stage this year.

At least so far. Stone Temple Pilots will probably be louder. But none of yesterday's North Stage performers (Jack Johnson, Wilco, etc.) had much oomph.

Maybe it was too early in the day, or maybe the crowd just wasn't feeling it, but most people just stood still and watched the BRMC do their thing. Sigh.

Maryland Film Festival bloggers

Michael Sragow saw the greatest movie ever made, The Wild Bunch, six times in two weeks in 1969 and has been arguing about it and other movies in print ever since. He has been a movie critic for the Sun since 2001 and a regular contributor to The New Yorker since 1989. He is the author of Victor Fleming: An American Movie Master (Pantheon, 2008).

Chris Kaltenbach has been writing for The Baltimore Sun since 1982 -- the same year Barry Levinson's Diner was released. For the past 15 years, he has been writing off-and-on about the movies, as both a critic and reporter. He has spent more time watching movies at the last 10 Maryland Film Festivals than probably anyone else.
