| | | | | Lily Taylor Uses Her Voice to Build a Musical Universe by Wanz Dover  Last month, Dallas-based songbird Lily Taylor released her debut album, The Ride, for local indie label Pour Le Corps. The album explores a haunting and dramatic mood within the parameters of a minimalistic and bare bones sound world. This is not one of those easy to categorize albums. It's a work that well and truly exists on its own terms. Taylor manages to establish a distinct artistic voice that does not directly reference any particular music style, while also existing comfortably in a musical universe of Taylor's own making. more >> | | | The Best North Texas Music Venue Beer Selections Let's face it: Going out to catch live can be about a lot more than just the music. A lot of the time, it can also be about spending time with friends. Or it can be about having a quality drink. (Oftentimes, both.) There is of course a time and a place to have whatever sort of cheap swill to drunk on, but on those nights where you where you really want to have a good beer then there's a certain art to finding the right venue. Fortunately, there are a growing number of music venues -- not just proper clubs, but also bars and restaurants that host frequent shows -- in Dallas and throughout North Texas that have top-notch beer selections. Here are 10 of the best. more >> | | | | | | Knife Is One of America's "Best New Restaurants" by Amy McCarthy  For all of the fit-throwing, cursing, and discussion about food critics in Dallas, we've kind of lost sight of the fact that John Tesar is actually an incredible chef. The controversy surrounding you-know-who's three-star review of Tesar's second Dallas restaurant Knife may have died down, but the hype for his "modern steakhouse" has only just begun. more >> | | | | | | | | WWII Drama Fury Grinds Your Face in It by Amy Nicholson  A gloom hangs over writer-director David Ayer's brutal war drama Fury that only the audience can see. It's April 1945, and we know that in weeks the Nazis will surrender. The war is already over — Hitler just hasn't admitted it. American Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt) suspects as much, but he isn't sure. And so he and the four other men in his tank roll on through the German countryside, shooting and dodging a final barrage of bullets that is no less fatal for being futile. more >> | | | Art and Craft's Trickster Forger Is an American Original Knocking out the first-rate forgeries that fooled 60 American museums? That was a curiously mundane miracle, something for Mark Landis to do while watching TV. A frail and ascetic Mississippian who resembles Michael Stipe playing Truman Capote, Landis sketched and painted minor Currans, Averys and Cassatts with one eye on last century's reruns. more >> | | | | | | 10 Best Costumes from Last Halloween. Good Luck Beating Them, Folks! by Mixmaster  Last year, Dallas got down and dirty with costumes. And nowhere outshone the Cedar Springs block party. Of course, that's usually the case in this city. If you want to see Halloween in all its gory glory, you head to the gayborhood for a night of revelry. This year, with Halloween falling on a Friday, we're sure it will be bigger and better than ever. Although glancing back through last year's costumes, we're not sure it will be easy to top. Here are a few of our favorites. more >> | | | Siblings Go at it in Two-Character Play Tennessee Williams described The Two-Character Play as his "most beautiful" drama after A Streetcar Named Desire. He may have been a bit too in love with his own words. It's a haunting piece laced with poetry, madness and tragedy, but it's no Streetcar. more >> | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coupons >> |
