| Dark Clouds on E-Cigs' Horizon BY CHRISTIAN MCPHATE The woman behind the curtain is busy today. She has too many orders to fill. Bottles of chemicals surround her as she leans over a small table and mixes a little from one and then another to create a "house blend" recipe while customers linger in the front room of her and her husband's vape shop in Arlington. A couple of young guys wearing black concert T-shirts and blue jeans, another with a shirt promoting American Eagle, stand near an island with hundreds of bottles of flavor samples. Drawing clouds of thick, smoky vapor from hand-held devices made of polished chrome, glass and LED lights, they look as if they're puffing Jedi light sabers instead of personal vaporizers, a fancified kind... more >> | | | | | Buffalo Black's Dark Demeanor Masks an Artist with a Serious Work Ethic BY MICHELLE OFIWE In the back of a sleepy Starbucks, Buffalo Black smiles knowingly when I ask him about songwriting. As a rapper whose everyday self, Jamil Kelley, is an avid reader of poetry, he knows a thing or two about the topic. He was responsible for some of the most buzzed-about hip-hop from North Texas in 2013 and his recent RedPiLLwondrland Part 1 EP looks to build on that momentum. On the path that his ... more >> | | | | | The Whistling Pig Has the Bar, and the Bar Food, That Its Neighborhood Needs BY SCOTT REITZ The corner of Lakeland Drive and Ferguson Road is among Dallas’ least romantic locales for a cozy neighborhood pub. Sure, many suburban strip malls hide the glimmer of romance lurking in killer bowls of pho beyond the city limits, but this particular sea of concrete plays host to a Dollar General, a laundromat, a couple of styling salons and a vape store. It’s not the sort of address ... more >> | | | | Begin Again Won't Let Mark Ruffalo Play a Person BY ALAN SCHERSTUHL Mark Ruffalo's great gift, besides those scruffy good looks and that prickish, hungover charisma, is capturing the essence of the guy who's spinning toward a crash but trying to angle himself back. His greatest performance, in Kenneth Lonergan's You Can Count on Me, one of the best films of the 2000s, is a slow-motion skid-out, a portrait of a man who wishes he could honor the long-term promise o... more >> | | | | | Hollywood Racism Revisited in By the Way, Meet Vera Stark at Theatre Three BY ELAINE LINER One of the hallmarks of almost any production at Theatre Three, one of Dallas' oldest theater companies, is how much time they waste moving furniture between scenes. So often the shifting of sagging sofas and rickety tables in and out of the in-the-round space seems unnecessary. T3's penchant for choosing all the wrong pieces for its scenery is nearly legendary. What's the point of replacing one ... more >> | | | | DC9 At Night We're halfway through the year and for most of the past week we've been turning our gazes back at these six months past, taking stock of all the fine music that's been released in North Texas ...
