Julie’s personal Armageddon: big ol’ jellies

by Julie Keselman If you had asked me what my favorite animal was in high school, I would have said “jellyfish.” I think they are absolutely beautiful and could watch them move all day, not to mention that I do an impression that is very lifelike (but only when I’m wearing a skirt with pockets).

Review: Radiohead’s ‘The King of Limbs’

by Brian Westfall Radiohead is famous for turning the conventions of the music industry upside down. Besides their off-kilter music that shies away from popular methodology, these Brit rock idols also experiment with the business side to great success.

Watch out for art gallery guards

by Katie Bailey I know it must be a complete drag to attempt to read my column. After all, I’m not even there. However, I will still attempt to seduce my handful of friends who are eager for my exotic tales from afar. I am currently sipping on some Dry Muscat, which is apparently a [...]

Excellence matters; also, watch the Oscars

by Coleen Grissom Born and raised in the east Texas piney woods, I think it would certainly be oxymoronic to refer to myself as a “snob.” Some friends, alas, refer to me as a “redneck,” and I do have the current calendar from Jeff Foxworthy on my kitchen counter, frequently finding definitions that do fit [...]

GOP field shaping up, readying itself to take on Obama
