Among the numerous festivals that take place during the month of July, Lollapalooza may be the historically richest. Having taken place off and on in different formats since 1991, the event series has succeeded in propelling a variety of artists into the mainstream spotlight. While superstar DJ/producer Kaskade may not necessarily be one of them, he does hail from the festival’s hometown of Chicago – and he played a set at this year’s installment that absolutely brought the house down.
We haven’t exactly been celebratory of all of Kaskade’s recent material, but when it comes to tearing it up on the decks, his recent performance demonstrates that he still knows how to get a crowd hopping. Studded with favorites like “Room for Happiness” and “Atmosphere,” the mix did contain a few of his less-deserving tracks – like his remix of Jack Ü’s “Where Are Ü Now,” for instance.

As the film of a woman's amazing life is released, a new biography of Lord Mansfield looks at his role in abolishing the slave trade
She wore the finest silks, lived in one of London's most desirable homes and studied in a library still regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the renowned 18th-century designer John Adam. Yet Dido Belle was the daughter of an unknown black slave woman so could not sit at the dinner table with her adopted family at Kenwood House in north London.

Assassin’s Creed 3 is on the snowing horizon and the obvious question on the minds of gamers is; which historical figures do I get to rip away from their family and friends? As of yet it is anyone’s guess, but I have put together a little list who I think would be amusing to murder.
8: Richard Montgomery
Richard Montgomery was an Irish-born soldier who first served in the British Army. He later became a Major General in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. His death is a pretty amusing one considering he basically led his men into a barrage of cannons, muskets, and grapeshot.
This could be a nice way to start the game by completely decimating an entire squadron in Battlefields Park as it has lovely scenery…
7: James Abercrombie
James Abercrombie was a Colonel in the British army who led the Grenadier Battalion at the Battle of Bunker Hill.

Allen is adapting his 1994 movie for the stage, Matilda wins the public vote at the Whatsonstage awards, and Chortle's female-unfriendly comedy awards shortlist is no laughing matter
Screen to stage
Yet another film is being adapted into a stage musical. This might not sound like news – but the film in question is Woody Allen's Oscar-winning 1994 movie Bullets Over Broadway, and the adapter is Allen himself. You'll recall that the plot follows a struggling writer trying to get a big break into New York theatre. Which all sounds rather wonderfully circular. No word yet on when the show might open or who it might star.
Stage to screen
It's not all one-way traffic, though. Sky Arts announced that it is to broadcast a filmed version of Simon Callow's one-man play about the Bard, Being Shakespeare, while the BBC and Arts Council England unveiled a project of an even more intriguing kind,...

There has been more written and said about Thomas Jefferson than any other American founding father except for George Washington himself. Jefferson was probably the most interesting member of the 1776 Continental Congress, because of his private nature and his inconsistent actions. He was a man of such extreme duality that scholars have been debating his merits and faults for over 200 years. The History Channel special Jefferson gives us a cliff-notes look at the life of our third President.
Thomas Jefferson’s life was replete with so many inconsistencies that they border on hypocrisy. He was an abolitionist who owned slaves. He supported states’ rights but he ran for President and won. He praised living an agrarian lifestyle but he admittedly loved his time living in Paris. He was a private man but he went into politics. He was a member of the upper class but always referred to himself as a common man.

John Adam's Old Work Gets New Life in Luca Guadagnino's New Film I Am Love Luca Guadagnino's I Am Love is one of my favorite films of the year, and perhaps, of the last few years. When I left the theater I felt elated and uplifted and really moved. Tilda Swinton stars as Emma Recchi, a Russian woman living in Milan married to the head of a wealthy family. Tilda describes Emma as "a piece of property; she had children and she fulfilled her role and now she finds herself at that point in life when the cage, the prison she has been living in, vividly appears before her eyes with all its explicit drama. Emma comes from a cage, Russia, that she left in the pre-Gorbachev era to have access to the free world. And in the free world she locked...

They chuckled and sniggered unabashedly, pointing at the eggshell colored walls packed with framed photographs ranging from the 1860s to the 1990s. At 2 p.m. Sunday, approximately 18 people filled the home/walk-up gallery Sugar, settling into mismatched Victorian-style chairs.
Art appraiser John Adam Staszyn, who counts Elton John in his list of clients, headed to the front of the track-lit space to began his lecture on the installation of 58 photographs entitled “A Sense of Humor.”
He targeted the left side of the wall first, which contained 19th century cabaret cards and a carte-du-visit, or business card from the 1800s. “The cards expose a different kind of culture,” he said, explaining that soldiers in the first World War would have their picture taken and sent home on cards like the one in the space.
