The finger-pointing game has begun in the wake of this year's Electric Daisy Carnival. Although any legal repercussions in regards to the festival that took place this weekend have yet to be determined, we're keeping our eye on the whole thing -- mostly because, let's face it, music and legal...
Should have seen this one coming. Hope it's not my own fault. On Monday I reported here that the city is going to spend some $76,000 to have its screwed-up and unusable fake rapids in the Trinity River digitally modeled by an engineering company that builds sewage treatment plants. That's...
As if Michael Briggs and Brent Frishman hadn't already established themselves as the foremost curators of Denton music, they went ahead and took it a step further.

We went over this last year: Despite the fact the Dallas Independent School District board was just given a presentation on preliminary TAKS scores for the school year that just wrapped, the Texas Education Agency won't formally release its 2011 Accountability Ratings till July 29. That said, there are some...
The biggest show this weekend, for better or for worse, is headlined by a group of Followills known as Kings Of Leon. The show will take place tonight at Gexa Energy Pavilion. And, with Band Of Horses as the opening act, we suggest that the tour be called The Bands...
It's almost time to send the kids back to school, and we're sure their favorite part isn't getting a new locker or pencil bag. When we were kids, "back to school" meant a trip to the mall for new shoes and a snazzy outfit for the first day of school...
I just went over to the city's bids website to look for something unrelated when I noticed: The deadline for would-be Love Field vendors to submit proposals for restaurants and retail shoppes has been extended yet again -- this time to July 13, following an earlier add-on that had 'em...
In the late '80s D.O.C. was recruited to Southern California by Dr. Dre from his childhood home of Dallas.

The sign outside the Heart Attack Grill beckons, but not like most. "Over 350 Lbs? Eat for Free" the red neon glows, calling out to Dallas' morbidly obese, enticing them to come inside to indulge in the ultimate gluttony. Ah, but there's a catch. A large scale sits in the...
