It hasn't premiered in theaters yet, but "The Nomi Song" about the life of New Wave/opera singer Klaus Nomi sounds like it will be really good. He is best known, unfortunately, for being one of the first people in rock music to die from AIDS, but he also

There is a new movie out that I almost rented at Blockbuster this weekend and it was called Party Monster with Seth Green and Macaulay Culkin. Does this count? I know I haven't seen it. For those of you who have seen it do you recommend renting it?

Hi Coolschool,
Party Monster is the true story of Michael Alig and the New York club kid scene in the late 80s and into the mid 90s. It actually does have a new wave connection in that James St. James, Michael's best friend/enemy, was a regular in the D
