At some point Saturday you'll see him. He'll be making his way to the DART, either through the efforts of a friend or a miffed girlfriend. One shoe will be missing, the green hat he's wearing will be askew, and the festive holiday tank top he purchased from Target will...

We're a week into March, which probably means one of two things for Dallas music fans: You're either preemptively popping Xanax to brace yourself for South by Southwest in Austin or else saying to hell with it and preemptively popping Xanax to deal with the insanity of St. Patrick's Day...

By Amy McCarthy

Feb 18, 2016

For a band whose earliest incarnation dates back to 1993, Third Eye Blind have experienced a ridiculous amount of change in their 18-year history.

Remember a few weeks back when there were nonstop parties to go to, and work holidays to help recover from them? Those were the days. Now, however, it's not only cold outside but there are no holidays and no reasons to party (besides, you know, your usual alcoholic tendencies). But...

It's almost Valentine's Day, which means one of two things: Either you're single and you're dreading the prospect, or you have a significant other and you're pretty sure you'll screw the whole holiday up, in which case you're also dreading it. But there's an easy way to fix this whole...

Here we are, folks: No man's land. That's right, dead in the middle of that ghastly stretch of the year between New Year's and Memorial Day where there are few, if any, work holidays to be had. Sure, there's Valentine's Day, but no one gets a day off for that,...
