Former Editor John Wright didn't make the most gracious exit from the Dallas Voice, what with the charges that the LGBT weekly had become a spineless rag that was "fucking its employees" and that his former boss had a thing for Thai boys. Wright's dander has since settled. Plus, he...
Run The Jewels' stage banter Together, Killer Mike and El-P have put out one of the best albums of 2013, so it was surprising to see them in such an early time slot on Friday. The 6 p.m. crowd was noticeably thin, of course, but it made Dallas' first time...

"I just feel like I'm fucked, haha. Everything is going wrong." My phone lit up with a text from Lord Byron as I was heading out to day two of Index Fest 2013. The day ahead was going to be a long one, ending with Boiler Room's local rap showcase,...
Editor's Note: Shea Serrano is an award-winning music writer and goofball whose recent exploits include Bun B's Rapper Coloring and Activity Book. In his new column, he writes about his life and times. 3:20 p.m.: Today I am chaperoning our school's Valentine's Day dance. A line of about 100 kids...

Since its gradual formation in 2011, Denton's Pageantry has perfected a heady sound, big and open and dreamlike. You can year on that on the Friends of the Year EP, released this summer. It's the band's debut, but people are taking notice. They just toured their way to Chicago, scored...
In 1997, Nick Urata and his band DeVotchKa began playing background music for local burlesque dancers in Denver. Soon the band's unique combination of Eastern European folk music and indie rock began gathering the attention of critics and fans alike. With the release of How it Ends in 2004, DeVotchKa...
It's been a spell since we've touched base with Lance Yocom, the ever-busy man at the head of Spune. Lance has been in this column before , and shortly thereafter, gave us all a start when he fell seriously ill while in Arizona, and spent over two weeks in a...

This Sunday a hoard of runners will take off from downtown in the skin-hardening cold to compete in the Dallas Marathon. The weather may have turned antagonistic but they will run on undeterred, swaddled in Under Armour and bodyglide. Some people run marathons for the sense of accomplishment, some as...

A knight wearing a cardigan steps into a mosh pit. Men and women resembling barbarians, vikings and neanderthals - with long hair matted, sweat soaking their black t-shirts with the words "Slayer" written in blood across their chest and shoulders - surge like an angry sea all around him. Upside...
When I first heard Girl Talk live I was disappointed, and I never went back. And it wasn't that I didn't think he was doing any work on that stage. Gregg Gillis has an immensely impressive talent and skill set. It was just because I didn't dance. Not really, really...
