Nova Pop
Your source for the buzz in area film, music and media
By Brian Truitt
Music, movies, books - oh my! Where does a Northern Virginian turn when there's so much pop culture in the world? Never fear, NoVa Pop is here!
This is THE site where music lovers, cinephiles and wannabes can visit for online, Northern Virginia-centric entertainment coverage. Find out what local musicians are about to make it big, what indie films they should see (or avoid) and what you should do if your next door neighbor is a big-time comic book artist. But wait, there's more! You'll also get expert (and sometimes geeky) analysis of national CDs, DVDs, books, websites and other nuggety pop goodness.
