In conversation…

In preview of the release party for debut EP Into the Sea, tonight at Bryan Street Tavern, we asked local trio Blackstone Rangers to give us a few of their favorite summer songs. Not necessarily songs about summer, but ones that they associate with the season. Derek Kutzer, guitar Weezer,”…
As my Mixmaster companion Jamie Laughlin and I were driving to lunch today, Prince’s “Purple Rain” came on the radio. We both looked at each other and threw up a fist when the breakdown came, that part when Prince starts ecstatically screeching like only he can. And there is the…

The scar ran from behind his right ear to the center of his cheek, pink and waxy in contrast with his dyed black hair. His skinny arms were covered with crude tattoos, and he was wearing a black T-shirt inside out, black jeans and black boots. He stood about 6-foot-1,…
I can’t say I’ve ever been to DeSoto, save for stopping at a Starbucks, but the lineup for their annual SolJazz Festival is enough to make me bust hump and head south. Featuring jazz singer Rachelle Ferrell, rapper MC Lyte, human beatbox Doug E. Fresh, Cameo (ya know, “Word Up!”),…
Locals Blackstone Rangers have gone from a duo to a quartet to a trio in the span of a couple years, but despite the fluctuation, they’ve managed to fine-tune their distorto-pop sound and put out a new EP. Into the Sea will be released via local label/promo venture Dallas Distortion…
If you’ve heard of Austin-based singer Nakia, it might have been from his stint on The Voice last summer, when he reinterpreted Cee-Lo’s “Forget You.” His voice is a force of nature, raised on soul and blues, and of course it turned heads. He made it to the quarter finals…

Since he’s got some free time now, Dirk Nowitzki joined the Avett Brothers Saturday night at Verizon Theatre during “I Killed Sally’s Lover,” and laid down some fierce percussive accompaniment. Have you ever seen someone seven feet tall play tambourine? It’s sort of hilarious…

Well, at least he did this morning, when the rather serious Dallas news personality invoked the ghost of Rick Astley (I know he’s still alive) and participated in the Internet bait-and-switch phenomenon known as “Rickrolling.” Which leads everyone to ask: That’s still a thing?…
To follow up last weekend’s screening of Urgh! A Music War, Texas Theatre is pulling out an even more obscure film, Beyond the Black Rainbow, a Canadian film released in 2010 that’s getting its Texas premiere tonight.

There’s been an ambient awareness of the Flaming Lips this year, and frontman Wayne Coyne has been the source. He’s taken on the role of social media’s merry prankster, most recently Tweeting potential nudie photos of Erykah Badu on the set of their recent video shoot. There’s also the matter…
QuikTrip Park was the site of Dayglow, the “paint rave” I attended a couple months ago, and I’m still finding evidence on my purse. The same young crowd will no doubt attend this electronic/DJ mass, featuring local favorites Pretty Lights, as well as Passion Pit, Steve Agnello, Sander Van Doorn,…
