• Top 10 Latin Music Albums of 2008

  Americans who still think of Latin music as mariachi bands and gyrating Ricky Martins and Shakiras might want to lend a closer ear to the genre. This country's Hispanic population isn't just growing, it's growing more diverse. More and more unique musical styles are being gobbled up, and that should come as good news to alternative gringos hoping to spruce up their castellano. This year's Latin-music highlights come from all over the Spanish-speaking map. We'll start in the farthest geographic

• SXSW Announces First Round Of Scheduled Performers For '09 Fest

  OK, so there's a clause at the bottom of the press release we just received--y'know "The list is subject to change" blah, blah blah--but lo and behold, here it is: The first round of announced performers for the 23rd SXSW festival, schedule to take place this year March 18-22.

  Amy Severson, The Dallas Cook Book blogDo you believe in angels? There's a new one in town, and it apparently watches over people who like lunch. This is especially so if they like it in the form of fresh sandwiches and salads. And soups made from scratch. And bakery cases full of sweet treats like decorated sugar cookies, cakes, cupcakes and pies. And...well, you get the idea. Owners Brad Liles and Keith Hall quietly opened Chocolate Angel Too in its latest Preston/Forest location last fall

• What It Was Like: School of Seven Bells, Skibunny

  Jesse HugheySkibunnyI was delayed in getting my night started, thanks to some setbacks I'd rather not go into. Let me just recommend that if you're at SXSW, don't carry a pocketknife. But I still caught a few interesting acts. Hopefully today will go more smoothly. Act: School of Seven Bells (another take). Where: Buffalo BilliardsWhat it was like: I don't think I was quite as impressed as Pete Freedman was in his review, but enjoyed the set enough to stick around till the end. Ally and Claudia

• 10 Questions: Jeff Harris of Craft

  Harris is so new, the restaurant website still lists Zappola as chef. So here's the interior, instead.When chef Anthony Zappola left for Craft in Los Angeles, the restaurant promoted Harris to the top spot.Formerly sous chef in Tom Colicchio's Dallas outpost, Harris arrived from Craft New York, where he had been working since graduating from culinary school--also in the Big Apple. Yet oddly enough, he's an east Texas native. After finishing up at UNT, he took a job at a Longview bank.But t

• Hey Tech Geeks: Check Out U2's New Stage Design

  A quick shot of U2's Barcelona stage.Over on Wired.com, there's a pretty cool story up, detailing the specs of the new stage set-up for U2's impending world tour, which kicks off tonight in Barcelona. Probably right about now, in fact.Anyway, it's a massive undertaking with huge screens and elaborate mechanisms. The idea, basically? To somehow turn a stadium performance into an intimate one. After the jump, check the video portion of the story.And then start wondering to yourself if/how the band

Still, July saw an unprecedented (even in boom times) wave of restaurant openings.Strange--July and August are not generally considered the best of months by those in the food service industry.
