Here’s To The Cure
It's appropriate that Chucky Sly's long-awaited debut album is titled The Unseen Mechanism—the local MC has excelled under the radar for much more than a decade and a half. He moved here in 1991 from Germany, but since, he's consistently operated with the singular task of creating exceptional music. "When I...
The best locally made music of the decade—please. Like anybody could know that, especially a small handful of writers bound by personal connections, affections, attractions and tastes. (It's music! We're all right! And completely wrong!) No doubt we've forgotten a handful of worthy contenders; no doubt you'll call us out...

Tre Wilcox shrugs off the name recognition gained through appearances on some of television's most popular cooking shows. "My window has passed," he insists. "I don't say 'I'm Tre from Top Chef'—I'm just here at Loft 610." But the waitstaff is almost giddy over the restaurant's new hire. Before launching...

Mark Cuban is sweating. Not the nervous kind of lather you work up fretting over a lawsuit slapped on you by Ross Perot Jr., a witch hunt targeting you by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the fact that, for the first time in memory, your basketball team didn't sell...

So agreed the respective parties and ordered the federal judge in Georgia who's handling the college's lawsuit against the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which stripped the 137-year-old Paul Quinn College of its membership back in June.

Best line overheard (well, shouted to our face) at the Smoke grand opening Friday night: "Who cares about resurrecting Deep Ellum when we've got this?!" The gushing party-goer was referring to the booming Oak Cliff renaissance, of course. Granted,...
Hope you're not yet sick of the smash summer single "Ice Cream Paint Job" from Dallas' own Dorrough (that's him in the above photo). Because, if you were, well, you're out of luck, friend. In recent weeks, Dorrough's breakthrough single has seen the man from Lancaster getting all sorts of attention--and...
With his raspy voice and elegant way with words, Psychedelic Furs frontman Richard Butler just oozes cool. Off and on for nearly 30 years now—from the band's humble post-punk beginnings in 1977 to Top 40 success throughout the '80s—Butler has led some version of The Psychedelic Furs with an artistic...

OK--I realize it's kind of a two part question. But I'm a little too laz...um, too pressed for time because of deadlines to further define the topic.Really, I don't want to sound like I'm against innovation. And do love fried foods. But this constant state fair one-upsmanship can get a...
After 13 weeks and 45 trial days, jurors begin deliberations this afternoon in the Dallas City Hall corruption trial, determining the fates of former Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill, his wife Sheila, former plan commissioner D'Angelo Lee, community activist Darren Reagan and car dealer Rickey Robertson.

Tomorrow morning, the Dallas City Attorney's Office will present yet another version of its ordinance that would allow for the demolition of buildings in historically designated districts.
