Short List: Music - The Stranger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re a music city, baby! But the talent runs way deeper than the excellent indie/rock/punk canon you may already know and love. Whether reimagining hip-hop, composing for film, pushing electronic music into places no synth has gone before, or running a record store out of a living room, these musicians are building on the city’s history while laying tracks for whatever comes next. Shape-shifters, sonic obsessives, epicurean tastemakers, underground legends, and cult heroes: These are some of th

Welcome back to Pop Loser. This is my third and final appearance here filling in for Audrey Vann, and it’s been an absolute pleasure.

On August 17, we lost long-time ZZ Top drummer Fr
Pop Loser: Courtney Love Update, New Shabazz Palaces Single, and Three Blood Brothers Return as Evil Island - The Stranger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome back to Pop Loser. I’m Dave Segal and I’ll be filling in for Audrey Vann over the next three weeks. Not gonna lie: I generally don’t mess with pop music, but I am familiar with losing. So, the content of this column may hit a little differently than it does under Audrey’s byline; she has a mastery of the domain that I, a writer more than twice her age, could never match. However, I have had dalliances with pop during my Stranger tenure. Over the years, come late December, various sadisti
Block-Rockin' Feats - The Stranger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chris Jones and Joe Nix combine ambassadorial knowledge and evangelistic zeal for the Belltown neighborhood that houses their bars, Screwdriver and Jupiter, respectively.
