I guess everyone is either happy about getting a tax refund or bummed about paying out to Uncle Sam. Either way, the musical plate about town this weekend is sufficiently busy.First, the stuff covered in print: Murder by Death will be rattling listeners’ bones at Rubber Gloves on Saturday night…

This week’s DC9er presents readers and listeners with not one, but two very different mixes from seasoned area musician, dubstep producer and DJ, Mwanza Dover. And not by accident, either. Dover voraciously admits that there was no way he could “really make one mix that would make sense for what…

Saturday’s looking like an especially busy one around the Metroplex, what with Record Store Day happening and the Old 97’s playing a not-so-secret show and, I dunno, Owl City playing out at the Nokia Theatre, if that floats your boat. Surely, though, one of the bigger events of the day…

So, as you can read from our Big Boi and Girl Talk review on DC9, Girl Talk didn’t play last night at SMU. Big Boi still did, though. And Mattie Stafford was there to capture it before the Highland Park Grannies dialed 9-1-1. Check out the rest of Mattie’s photos…

You know the saying: “Too many chefs spoil the broth.”Well, this week’s The Problem With… is an example of a broth with a host of problems: It’s too salty (or as all the cool foodies say these days, too umami) and doesn’t have enough herb. And, dammit, I expect more…

In this week’s paper, Phil Freeman tacked the topic of High on Fire’s brutality–y’know, since the band is headlining The Loft on Sunday night in what should be a fairly epic display. Especially since the band is touring in support of Snakes of the Divine, its fifth studio album–and maybe…

Let me start by saying thanks for all your submissions so far this year. Some of you out there are doing pretty well about submitting your posters well in advance–it’s nice to have several pieces to choose from every week. There are some really nice posters that have already been…

In this week’s paper, Kelly Dearmore holds Nicholas Altobelli’s latest, The Regulator, up to the light for a closer look and comes out finding the disc “rather agreeable” and a fine step along the artists “continued development.” It’s a fair take on the disc, actually. Accurate, too. I’d agree, at…

Last time Acid Mothers Temple stopped through DFW for a gig, it did so up in Denton. About a year ago up at Hailey’s, in fact. At the time, Elliott Johnston wrote this of the band: Japanese collective Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. is probably the trippiest…

It was back in February when we first caught wind of Midlake’s supporting role on the new, debut solo effort from John Grant, former frontman of The Czars. Called Queen of Denmark and released on April 6, the album was recorded in Denton while Midlake was on breaks from its…

Look, Girl Talk and Big Boi at SMU isn’t the only free show going this evening. In fact, there’s a real treat for the suburbs going on at Lochrann’s tonight up in Frisco as part of Spune Productions’ new weekly, free Thursday night gigs up that way. At 8 p.m…

OK. There are certain things that are undoubtedly cool about living in a big city. Like when huge shows evade the radar of just about everyone. How huge? How about Spring Concert, put on by Southern Methodist University’s Program Council, featuring one of the most influential mash-up artists in the…

Perfect timing, too: Though the album won’t see its official release until April 27,…

So, I’m sitting there watching Idol, getting ready for the results portion (which also generally includes already-famous people performing songs that I’m sure the contestants would much rather watch when they’re not waiting to find out if they’re “safe”), with Seacrest being all dramatic and shit, when I heard the…

With his soaring voice and arena-rock fluency, Todd Rundgren seemed destined for hit-after-hit superstardom when he released his third album, the entirely self-recorded Something/Anything, in 1972. Looking back, though, it was clear that Rundgren had too many experimental itches to scratch—and the progression of his career has arguably been more…

Spring is a great season for music around here. Just when you’ve recovered from Denton’s NX35 and Austin’s SXSW music festivals—not to mention a barrage of road shows—Dallas hits you with two amazing parties on National Record Store Day. And, turns out, both Good Records (1808 Greenville Ave.) and Bill’s…
