It's been a while since we delved into the darkly romantic strains of Bella Morte on these pages, but in case you've missed our features on one of the hardest-working and most influential Gothic bands in the genre, now's your chance to catch up. Founded in Charlottesville, Virginia in the mid-'90s, the band was instrumental in kick-starting the second wave of Gothic rock at that time, and across their eighteen-year history they've racked up seven full-length albums and two EPs, the latest being the 2011 album Before the Flood (check out our review here).

One thing that will become apparent as you voyage through these sixteen songs is the consistency of the band's songwriting skills and particularly the vocal strength of frontman Andy Deane; both have become stronger over the years,...

Heading into its 18th year in 2011, the Chicago Underground Film Festival is the longest-running underground film festival in the world. It used to be tied with the New York Underground Film Festival — both were started in 1994 — until Nyuff closed up shop in 2008.

I’m not sure how I stumbled upon it, but I recently discovered that the alternative newsweekly the Chicago Reader had posted up the entire, full lineup of the first annual Chicago Underground Film Festival.

So, I copied that info and reformatted it into the style of Bad Lit’s traditional film festival lineups, which...
