Mavericks 118, Kings 100. A Requiem in 10 Parts

By Richie Whitt
My Top 10 observations from last night's Mavs' romp: 10. Mark Cuban really really really really loves him some Jason Kidd.

Long May You Run

By Katey Margolis
According to the legend, after Pheidippides ran approximately 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to announce the defeat of the Persians, he collapsed and died. If the first guy that did something dies as a direct result, you wouldn't think that activity would become a universally prized ambition. You would...

Your Texas Rangers: The Steroid Sluggers

By Richie Whitt
Part of the shrapnel from the *A-Roid bombshell: Not that it manifested itself in any sort of team success, but there's no denying that the Texas Rangers now have more big-name stars linked to performancing-enhancing drugs than any professional team this side of a European cycling club.

Serious Cels

By Jennifer Elaine-Davis
The world of animated film is in the midst of a paradigm change. Once the domain of kiddie movies, the art form that makes candlesticks sing and seafood swagger has now taken up residence in the world of art-house flicks. And while most of us assume that animated movies feature...

A Very Hipster New Year

By Daniel Rodrigue
New Year's Eve at Hailey's got off to a slow start. Doors opened at 7 p.m., but naturally, people had to look their best and be fashionably late. Thus, the vast majority of people arrived between 11 p.m. and midnight. And when they did, it was as if several busloads...

Marlo’s House is a Dutch Treat

By Dave Faries
You just gotta go. This little place wedged into a Garland strip alongside dollar outlets and shabby marts is worth the drive from wherever, if only for the novelty. It's not often you find rural Pennsylvania finery replicated so perfectly, right down to the mismatched chairs, whitewashed latticework and cutesy...

Trail Of Dead Rises From Its Ashes

By Jesse Hughey
Let's face it. The 2005 and 2006 releases from ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, Worlds Apart and So Divided (respectively), sucked. Perhaps future music scholars will treat them more kindly. It's possible that fan expectations based on the epic brilliance of the band's 2002 Source...

Welcome to This or That, the weekly segment here on DC9 where we stream an unmarked song and ask, simply enough, "Is this [POP BAND X] or just another crappy local band?" Why? Because we don't think you'll be able to tell the difference between the real thing and the...

Swim Swim is is Back Back… Maybe Maybe

By Darryl Smyers
Early in 2007, a group of young men out of Plano formed a band called Swim Swim and released I'm So Glad That I'm an Island, a wonderful, but grossly neglected collection of indie pop that should have made local heroes out of Jeremy Aulden, Mike Brady and Jason Bailey...

Best in Dallas Music, 2008: The Podcast

By Patrick Michels

Dan The Man

By Katey Margolis
London-based artist Dan Perfect's paintings are collages of sorts. Not of their media, but their aura. Ambiguous forms and referential icons are scattered across his canvases, and the result is not disjointed or trivial, but rich and striking. With imagery that echoes Miro and Picasso as much as it does...
