At I Luv Video on Airport Blvd., a female customer holding a DVD case: Is Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle any good? Dreadlocked Male Employee:Uh, that depends. Do you smoke weed? Female customer: I guess I could make a stop on the way home. DME: There's a...

Spoon (6:30pm): So here's the thing about Spoon: they're a studio band. And on record, they're pretty much bulletproof for this decade. But the band also have a deserved reputation as a sometimes shaky live act, and such was the case for the show's beginning today. Britt Daniel and the band emerged without opening music or much ceremony, plowing right into a half-dozen tracks from new album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. But they...
We talked about Ryan Adams' latest full-length, Easy Tiger , just recently: The album is truly an Adams Tex-Mex combo meal: an entrée of Heartbreaker, Gold, and Cold Roses with a side of Rock’N’Roll ... Fans will really like this record, while newcomers might ask someone to recommend the five best tracks to download (we’d start with “These Girls,” “Oh My God, Whatever, Etc.,” and “Everybody Knows.”) If you're an old school fan or...
Ryan Adams – Easy Tiger (Lost Highway): We like Ryan Adams: he’s witty, annoying, moody, talented, and 100% rock star. It’s unfortunate, then, that his output is so often uneven. Like a poster child for iPod album editing, Adams throws a handful of gems on each album, then adds lots of C+ songs with gratuitous swearing and purposefully off-key vocals. Easy Tiger isn’t the complete return to glory that early press suggested, but it...
Taylor Mills Lullagoodbye (Aquapulse) There’s a new safe word being grunted out of S&M dungeons everywhere, and it is Lullagoodbye. It means slow down, ease up and take fewer risks. Although the album mostly lies within the boundaries of uninspired adult contemporary, at times her voice is filled with smooth, sometimes-sultry melody and a graceful piano whispers like a bedtime story. Then, there’s the added bonus of looking at her staggeringly attractive mug on every...
We know it's a bit late in the game to be reviewing The Island, but we literally woke up this morning pissed off that we'd seen this movie a week and a half ago, and thought we'd give an ol' internet rant this morning. Now, we're reasonably certain that this movie is better than, say, Stealth, and definitely sure that it will be better than The Devil's Rejects. However, this is yet another notch...
On our past recaps, we've had comments from people saying things like, "Oh god, I can't handle watching these idiots do nothing but drink and screw!" and "Are they going to do anything other than drink and screw this time?" and also, "Drinking and screwing? Again!?" We had no idea what everyone was complaining about. Drinking and screwing is fun! And it is fun to watch people do it, even if they are stupid....
Sandra Bullock, appearing on Late Night with David Letterman, talked about her new house in Austin and excitedly mentioned the new Whole Foods. It's nice to know that we're not the only ones excited to the point of public babbling by a fancy new grocery store in our neighborhood. We look forward to seeing Sandra and her new boy toy Jesse James piling food from the salad bar into the cute little cardboard to-go...
