• Gig Alerts: Looking for Inauguration Night Music? Here's Some Interesting Choices.

  Not a lot going on, music-wise, this inaugural evening in our area, but there are a few worthy performers out there who could help you celebrate Obamamania...Chance Anderson is a youthful, roots rocker from Lewisville (via Empire, Oklahoma) in the vein of Steve Earle. Anderson plays tonight at the Back Porch Grill in Grapevine and his workingman earnestness should fit the mood well. Songs like "Deal With It" and "This Town" have an edginess that should get better with each beer.Mo Robson brings

With choruses like, "Let's get freaky now, let's get fucking freaky now," and comments about wanting to set a girl's hair on fire (as retaliation for getting the band sick, duh!) the show was a gutter-mouthed spectacle. But the same venue, with the same mood-setting C

  Clearly, Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels were way ahead of their time out in Amarillo.Dunno why I didn't think of this sooner -- burying a certain 1996 Jeep Cherokee of my acquaintance in a field somewhere, ditching it in a nearby river whose trees are in need of chopping down or just setting the sumbitch on fire. Why not? According to this Associated Press report this morning, it's all the rage in Dallas County, where, sheriff's department investigator Tom Reilly says "suspicious aut

• Hophead: Camping Out In The 'Broo-er's Festival' Tent At Bonnaroo

  Mark C. AustinHophead wasn't the only one thirsty for beer at Bonnaroo last weekend. Hophead spent a four-day weekend at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The music, comedy, people-watching and general chaos of the thing made for an outstanding trip. But one of the highlights was the accompanying "Broo-er's Festival," a biergarten featuring some 20 brewers ranging from tiny local outfits to Anheuser-Busch. As it turned out, two personal favorites from the bash are

• Does Amarillo Have Better Radio Than Dallas?

  Making my way back to Big D after a week spent camping in Utah and Arizona, I stumbled upon KWTS 91.1 FM out of Amarillo. Broadcasting from the West Texas A&M University campus, this little oasis of deep indie rock kept me locked in until the signal finally diminished just outside of Wichita Falls. For those couple of hours, though, and on a Sunday afternoon, no less, my family and I were serenaded by the likes of Los Camesinos!, The Ting Tings, Benjy Ferree, Vetiver, Mates of State, Woodpig

Since most of it's more than familiar territory to the Friends of Unfair Park, let's just skip to the end, where defense attorney Billy Ravkind and SMU politics prof Cal Jillson offer their t
