Still haven't heard from City Attorney Tom Perkins concerning the legal above-boardness of those no-bid concession contracts at Love Field Airport, which the council will vote on tomorrow.

Two years ago, Whiskey Folk Ramblers (in a tie vote with Tejas Brothers) earned the honor of "Best New Act" in the 2008 Dallas Observer Music Awards, largely on the strength of their debut CD, Midnight Drifter. The disc was a rollicking collection of songs that blended Old World elements...
Back in 2006, Angels & Airwaves released their debut, We Don't Need to Whisper, amidst many bold claims made by singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge.
