It's been interesting this morning, trying to piece together exactly what Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins is telling Texas Tribune editor-in-chief Evan Smith. At this very moment they're doing a TT sitdown at the Austin Club, and I've been following along via Twitter. The Southern Shift, thus far, is...
Anaheim, California's The Willowz have been doing the punk/soul/garage/blues thing since 2002--and to some fine results. In 2004, two of the band's songs added much-needed grit to the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtrack. Featuring Richie James Follin's screeching, J.

What would you do if you had a million dollars? Would you buy nice cars? A nice house? Or would you be like Peter from Office Space and do absolutely nothing? Unfortunately, inflation requires that you demand even more money than that to fulfill your dreams, folks. Now, we all...
Listening to the new Hole record, Nobody's Daughter, it's impossible not to be distracted by the circular chorus of "Samantha," the slow-burning rager co-written by Billy Corgan that substitutes curse words for handclaps: "People like you FUCK!/People like me FUCK!/People like you FUCK!/People like me!" It's an odd offering from...

10. When the doors opened at 6 a.m. Saturday at Trinity Hall in Mockingbird Station, there were already 20 people lined up for a day of World Cup watching. We can rip soccer (and we will), but it's hard to criticize its fans' passion. 9. In a sport where you...
It's been a long while since we've made mention of the New LBJ Freeway -- like, since February 2009, when the Texas Department of Transportation announced that an international consortium called LBJ Development Partners -- which includes Spanish-based Cintra, French-based Meridiam Infrastructure Finance and other local firms -- would be...

CIUDAD JUÁREZ—Esteban was riding shotgun in his family's rusted teal minivan when his dad, Lorenzo, suddenly stopped the car. It was odd—a vehicle facing the opposite direction blocked their way on the narrow street. They were just four blocks from home. Esteban, who was 6 at the time, with soft...
Seeing 40 concerts in 40 different cities over the course 40 consecutive nights. Sound cool? Sure does.

Last night I was a guest at Maximo Cocina Mexicana & Margarita Lounge's Media Night. Being wined and dined is a perplexing situation to be put in when you have to write about it afterward. As the night progressed, however, despite the VIP treatment, subjectivity came surprisingly easy. While the...
Damned if you do: Short of handing his testicles to Republican County Commissioner Ken Mayfield to wear as cufflinks, what exactly could District Attorney Craig Watkins do to please those—like the local GOP and Morning News—who criticize his handling of the investigation into allegations of corruption by Constable Jaime Cortes?...
As we glance ahead to the city council's briefing agenda for Wednesday, we see they'll take up the potential local option election on November 2 that would result in the entirety of the city getting wet -- which is to say, the petition drive demanding beer and alcohol sales citywide...

Sanpha Sesay was asleep when he got the phone call, late on the night of July 18. As a reporter during the worst of Sierra Leone's civil war in the 1990s, Sesay had grown accustomed to tragic news at all hours—rebel advances into the capital city, massacred villages, mass amputations—but...
