How you feel about Saint Ann may depend upon how you feel about Jägermeister ice cream drizzled with a Red Bull reduction. As that sugary debacle demonstrates, the new Uptown restaurant has a firm grip on its young and trendy clientele. Saint Ann is designed to appeal to diners who...
In this edition of This Week In Dallas Music History, we turn back to the first week in November, 2000, when Robert Wilonsky told his account of legendary local punk singer Bobby Glen Calverley--or, as he was known to everyone else, Bobby Soxx--who had just died at the age of...
If the Beach Boys and Nirvana knocked up the Pipettes, the resulting lovechild would be Harlem. Bubblegum-tainted choruses, irreverent charm and a frenetic pace drive their first album for Matador Records, Hippies. (The Austin trio self-released the 2008 EP, Free Drugs.) There's also a gritty insouciance and psych leaning that...
We did this once before to big results, so, as promised, here it is again: The fifth incarnation of Austin's Fun Fun Fun Fest, this year taking place at Waterloo Park on November 5, 6 and 7 and featuring the likes of Weird Al, among many others, is looking like...

Texas Rangers GM Jon Daniels and skipper Ron Washington hopped on a conference call late this afternoon to discuss Wash's two-year contract extension -- "a formality as much as anything," as Daniels put it. The general manager said it was "clearly the first order of business" in the post-season, "making...
Still thirsty: All Buzz wanted was to be able to pick up a six-pack of beer at our local grocery store. That's why we signed the petition, and later, along with 66.2 percent of the local electorate, voted to approve a proposition "wetting up" the entire city for beer and...
Since the holiday season seems like a good time for scrimping -- I'm still reeling at the price of postage for my holiday cards -- I've twice eaten dinner at home this month. Neither experience has been as cost-effective as I'd hoped. To those of us who eat 19 meals...
Thankfully there isn't a team in the NBA called the Giants. While the Cowboys got walloped by New York Monday night and the Rangers were whipped by San Francisco last night here in the City by the Bay, your Dallas Mavericks are on pace to go 82-0 after opening the...
Welcome to a Unexpected Influences, where we talk to musicians about the music no one expects them to like. Long-hailed as one of the region's Meccas for live music, Denton is a fine place to become well-known. And popularity is just what DJ Yeahdef, née Joey Lietchy, has achieved in...
Food Network magazine this week released the no doubt intentionally provocative results of an anonymous chef survey, in which chefs copped to stealing ideas, showing up for work sick, recycling bread and sabotaging orders that were sent back for recooking. As a former restaurant server, I've seen chefs do all...

Marget & The Nuclear So and So's have been making their signature indie folk chamber pop since 2005, and although they have garnered critical acclaim and respect for their songwriting from us, they haven't been so successful financially. Considering that they're a seven-piece band that rides a self-bought school bus...

Before it starved to death last May, the cat could be heard by shelter workers, crying and clawing, trying to escape the confines of the break room wall behind which it had become trapped at Dallas Animal Services. Cats do especially badly in animal shelters, naturally preferring dark, quite repose...
Back in June 2009, you may recall, the Dallas Independent School District and the U.S. Department of Justice settled up over the misuse of funds provided to the district for the feds' E-Rate program, which was created in 1996 to give "affordable access to telecommunications services for all eligible schools...
A couple weeks back, friend of the program Josh Romero was out on the town with some friends, waling out of the Dallas World Aquarium, when a street musician going by the name of Big Horn caught his eye."I didn't know the guy at all," Romero says. "He was just...

The Oak Cliff spirit of urban development and community outreach, which we are physically incapable of not writing about here in the paper and online, continues -- this time, with an urban planning storefront that's the result of a partnership between the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce and the University...
The usually silver-tongued Eliot Spitzer, political hero of last month's Inside Job and now ubiquitous media personality, stammers and hesitates when asked to explain the psychosexual motivations behind his spectacular flameout in Alex Gibney's gripping Client 9—or, if you prefer, Inside Blowjob. Spitzer, whose tireless efforts to redeem himself led...
At the close of business today, Blockbuster was supposed to release its second-quarter financials. It did not. And, till moments ago, it was impossible to get anyone from the company on the phone to explain why it failed to release the figures -- which has prompted widespread speculation that bankruptcy...
Listen, I love Thanksgiving. I love Christmas. I've never get more excited than I do during the holidays. It's just that I hate Black Friday. Last year I worked two jobs. 7 a.m. found me selling candles at Yankee Candle when there was no one there to buy them. Then...
