• MTV Brings Us The Year In JoBromances

  MTV News this morning has a delightful little feature looking back on the year that was 2008--in Jonas Brothers romances. Seems Westlake's own abstinence-pledging JoBros have had themselves quite the year in love, having been seen about town with tween music starlets Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, among others, and MTV's got the breakdown on all the moves (or, more likely, non-moves) the Jonases have put on display this year. As MTV so eloquently puts it: "Don't hate the player, ha

• Hitsville: The Year in Music, by the Numbers

  You don't need a half-wit music critic to tell you it's been a remarkable year for America, one historians will be discussing and researching for centuries to come. War, financial collapse, politics, technology: All have been dinner-table topics for many Americans. Racial barriers in 2008 were demolished by a Midwestern black man, and gender barriers were hurdled by an Arkansan and an Alaskan.Democracy has a few awesome new dance moves rolling into the Obama presidency, and it'll be a feast f

  A few brief notes to pass along that some DC9 maybe, kinda, sorta, might, could possibly be interested in...Over on Unfair Park, Robert's got the goods on an item that the New York Times and others are all over: George Steel, the man who was tapped to lead the Dallas Opera five months ago, has already backed out of the gig--instead, he'll be heading the New York City Opera...Also over on Unfair Park, Robert passes along word that Erykah Badu's Black Forest Theater is now empty, although the land

  Your daily dose of national music news for Wednesday, January 28, 2009... Scarlett Johansson remains dead set on adding "singer" to her resume: She has now covered Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye" for the soundtrack for He's Just Not That Into You. You know the movie your girlfriend is going to drag you to? Yep, that one. Scarlett, please, I beg, just look pretty and stop singing.  When I think of police officers, I think of three things: going to jail, buzzcuts and a s

• This Or That: Metro Station? Or Just Another Crappy Local Band?

  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 crappy, cheap knockoff. [Editor's Note: Before we get started this week, an apology: I've been really bad about remembering to do this lately, and I know there are a bunch of readers who get a kick out of it, so... my bad.

• "Uncle Hollywood from New York": A Q&A(&A) with the Court Jester, Richard Lewis

  William ClaxtonStand-up comic Richard Lewis has made a career out of airing his neuroses during an act he began nearly 40 years ago. His routine isn't so much a series of jokes as it is a stream-of-consciousness rant that veers wildly from subject to subject as he recalls annoyances he has to get off his chest.Even at 7:30 on a Sunday morning, he was a verbal torrent during an interview with Unfair Park. Perhaps "interview" isn't the right word. His way of answering a question is like putting ou

  Your daily dose of national music news for Wednesday, April 8, 2009... Good news if you're a fan of iTunes: Apple launched a tiered pricing system yesterday and discontinued the DRM on all downloads. Which is great news for people who don't read music blogs and get their songs for free. Free documentaries seem to be all the rage lately: Conor Oberst will release One Of My Kind for free.The documentary followed Oberst and his Mystic Valley band from its recording session to the end of&nb

  Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, April 16, 2009...Jamie Foxx got himself wrapped up in a big ol' case of open-mouth-insert-foot. He said on his satellite radio show that Miley Cyrus should do some drugs and make a sex tape. Well, now he's sorry he said such a thing.Sean Combs is having a "bromance" with Arctic Monkeys and wants to sign them to Bad Boy. A bad move? Maybe. But look what it did for Biggie. Oh, and Diddy's starring in a new Judd Apatow movie, too.Nine Inch Nails

  If frosted tips and graphic tees ain't country, I don't know what is.

If ruining a movie you grew up loving by remaking it isn't bad enough, Miley Cyrus wants to play the role of Ariel More, the petulant and rebellious preacher's daughter, in Footloose. Michael Jackson has pushed back the start of his 50-show residency at London's O2 Arena because he needs more time to rehearse. Lilith Fair will return to the road this summer... in Europe.

  Jonas Brothers on Saturday, June 20, at Dallas Cowboys StadiumI heard today that Miley Cyrus and that one JoBro were back together. I wonder if the "dizzy" feeling was love or just a result from spinning the entire length of one of their songs? Either way, can we get an "awwww" for the lovestruck teens? Better yet, unleash your inner 11-year-old and let's shatter some glass, as we watch Miley performing with the Jonases in a surprise guest turn on Saturday night.

  Your daily dose of national music news for Tuesday, July 6, 2009... Is the idea of getting a t-shirt, a 7" single and a 12" LP enough for you to spend $60 for a three-month subscription? Jack White certainly hopes so--his label Third Man launched a subscription service. Apparently teenage angst and a sweet, dance-y beats can only take you so far creatively. Two members of Panic at the Disco have left the band. Somewhere, a depressed tween will be crying into her Miley Cyrus pillow. Jeff Tw

• Pairing Off: Apple Pie

  Patrick MichelsThere was an advertising jingle back in the 70s proclaiming Americans love for "baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet."Slogan writers often take some liberties, of course. I mean, football was already the nation's number one sport by then. And clearly this was before Miley Cyrus, reality television and i Phones...although the ad was right about Chevy, which we love so much we now own the company.A lot of things have changed, in other words. But through decades of 'tax and sp

  Rivalries bring out the best in people, huh?​Don't even begin to kid yourselves: Getting around town this weekend will be a pain. Lower Greenville in particular? It's gonna suck. So hard.What really sucks though, is that it's a pretty packed weekend of live music, and if you're gonna head out on the town, well, you're just gonna have to put up with all the TX/OU crap. Thankfully, enough of what's happening this weekend does appear worth the while. So, without further ado, let's just jump right

  The Black Crowes at the Palladium Ballroom on Friday, October 16I'm not ashamed to say I have a huge crush on Chris Robinson. I think it's his long, flowing, Jesus-like locks. (We also have the same birthday--it's fate!) I'm also a huge fan of The Black Crowes, who play around Dallas relatively often. That said, I never get tired of "Twice as Hard."

I call that place Xanadu, but it's actually in Richardson. Foot Joy, indeed. If you can withstand the pa

  Butthole Surfers at the Granada Theater on Friday, Oct. 30I just realized Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary and I went to the same college (20 years apart, mind you). That's kinda strange, considering the guy who voiced Barney the big purple dinosaur also graduated from Trinity University. There's got to be some apocalyptic meaning in there somewhere...
