I see on John Mellencamp's Web site that the ex Mr. Cougar is headed out on the road this summer, and during the tour he's looking to get his bud and Fort Worth's own T Bone Burnett to produce a new record "as American folk as I've ever been," as...
I'm going to screw up, Andrea says to herself as she walks a straight line in front of a Dallas police officer. Only hours into what was supposed to be a relaxing Memorial Day weekend, Andrea is on the side of the road near the bar she just left on...
Gotta love that SXSW backwash that brings so many quality bands into our region. Three of these make their way to City Tavern tonight in a show that offers, besides some great music, an odd animal motif.Twin Tigers, Sleepy Horses and Gift Horse all hail from Georgia and all three...

For the better part of two decades, 311 has been cranking out album after album and trotting almost nonstop around the globe. Of the band's eight albums, four have gone gold, one platinum and one triple platinum. And oh yeah, the band's had seven singles hit the Top 10 on...
Billboard reports today that Burleson's own Kelly Clarkson is set to make chart history tomorrow. Here's how: When the results for this week's Hot 100 chart are officially revealed tomorrow, they will show that Clarkson's newest single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", will have made the largest jump to...
It's a balmy morning in April, which to Anthony Tovar means only one thing: crunch time. Instead of walking the halls of Sunset High School in his usual happy-go-lucky way, greeting teenagers with a grin and calling them by name, the principal is hunched over paperwork in his office, his...
It's been five years since home recorder Ariel Pink (né Rosenburg) landed on Animal Collective's Paw Tracks imprint, which released his years-in-the-can album The Doldrums and, later, a pair of reissues. His freaky, no-fi work initially played like outsider art, with its strange shrieks, primitive delivery and incidental noise. Dismissed...
I'm 44. But I'm about to sound 84. It was a better world when paddling was a part of school. A safer world when "licks" between a teacher and student were punishment rather than perverted pleasure. Hear me out: I'm not condoning the 21 "licks" allegedly applied to the backside...

Earlier this month, we unveiled our Dallas Observer contributors' top albums and, in some cases, top singles of the year, as submitted to the annual Pazz & Jop poll conducted by our sister paper in NYC (in some cases, to the best of our recollections).Well, now the full results of...
As we've mentioned a couple of times over the last week, the Texas Attorney General's Office has been taking a long, hard look at how the city of Dallas runs the W. W. Samuell Permanent Foundation and the Samuell Trust Fund, as well as how the city maintains and dispenses...
I'll be honest. I was somewhat underwhelemed by THe BAcksliders' 2008 release, You're Welcome. It was weird, I thought. Here's this raucous, straight up rock 'n' roll band--one that's pretty darn great live, and here's this disc that just shimmers in crisp, clean, shiny production. Something didn't really jive.But today,...
Speaking of Proposition 2, as we were this morning, and Proposition 1, as we were yesterday, on Thursday the West Dallas Chamber of Commerce hosted a forum at Jack's Backyard, where both props were on the table. And it was an all-star cast: Harlan Crow's second-in-command Anne Raymond and Phillip...
That's the council member's assessment, at least, in the wake of yesterday's news that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has rated "unacceptable" 34 of 170 areas in the Trinity River levees. An excerpt from the piece she just posted to her Web site:The fact is, this toll road project...
The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, The Police, Roky Erickson. Pick one to match your musical flavor, 'cause, no matter, there's a Nervebreakers connection to each; the Dallas proto-punk outfit opened for every one of those legendary acts, as each made its first—and in some cases, only—travels into North...

"This is bullshit." Normally soft-spoken, at least by defensive lineman standards, Ernie Story may be wired on energy drinks—just about everyone else is. Besides, there are six months of anticipation pent up behind this day. He stomps away from a cluster of older men, back toward the cinder-block locker room...
Dear Mexican: Mi hermano y yo tenemos un dispute. We all know that Mexicans love their bistec sliced muy thin, but why? My brother is adamant that the diet of free-range vacas mexicanas results in tough meat, necessitating a thin slice for easy mastication. I think the reason is purely...
Ah, the first day of spring. How better to celebrate than a look back a those long, dreary days of last week--you know, when some holiday kept you away from the computer. Well, here's some of what you missed. And if these are the highlights, the rest must be total...The...
Chris Cornell's swing through town this week has us marveling at a successful career that has lasted for more than 25 years, earning him both commercial and critical success, multiple Grammys, and sales of nearly 30 million records worldwide along the way.
