  The old gypsy woman peered into her crystal ball Friday afternoon. “I am seeing for this weekend a very boring time, not much happening,” she said in a low and ominous voice. “I am seeing cold, hibernation, few video postings.” “Yeah, yeah whatever. What about my fame? My fortune? How about answering the questions I asked you?” the girl across from her exclaimed. “I don’t know,” the old woman said. “Pete’s column didn’t tell me.

  Tonight, Reno's Chop Shop in Deep Ellum has a great lineup of punk and punk-influenced local acts that includes Rocket For Ethiopia, Warcola, Division of Power, Sleep As The Enemy, Just Another Consumer and Embolization. Even better than the bill is the cause. The Phoenix Project is a DIY space currently under construction at 406 S. Haskell. We'll have more on it in next week's print supplement to DC9, but here's the general idea: It will be a grassroots community co-op space somewhat modeled af

  I know the Texas Rangers swept the previously mighty Boston Red Sox and we're all atwitter about the American League West division race heading into August ... September ... maybe even October? But what if baseball were governed according to, say, European football standards? You know, the top teams rewarded with international play and/or advancement and the worst facing relegation to the league below. I can see the initial extended excitement.

AC/DC didn't rip a page from the Rolling Stones playbook last night and dig deep into its early catalog. Rather, with few exceptions, the band played it by the numbers, sticking predominantly to its (admittedly sizeable) catalog of run-into-the-ground, overexposed radio hits. But what was worse was that the band seemed to play these songs without much genuine enth
