Nuevo-Edge
 With Nuevo-Edge, art and culture e-zine Flavorpill presents a new venture focusing on "the vibrant, progressive contemporary culture of Mexico" as found throughout the U.S. Sections targeting New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Austin serve up brief reviews of screen and stage performances just waiting for you to slip into the audience. Don't expect a crew of mass-produced sombreros, though. Recent listings highlighted such diverse fare as "a clutch of DJs spinning dirty electro and crunked-out mariachi remixes" in S.F., a Latin-jazz showcase group in Austin, and "hometown funk heroes" Ozomatli and contemporary printmaker Artemio RodrÃguez in L.A. We also liked the brief overview of the "golden age of cinema" currently unfolding south of the border. Brand spanking new, the site has yet to prove itself over the long haul. But so far, the Nuevo-Edge is certainly living up to its name.
