  • Top Ten Hip-Hop Albums Of 2008

    A couple of weeks ago, an expert on the Harry Potter series told an audience of high school kids how lucky they were to have this Big Shared Experience--these seven books and 41,000 words in common. What does Harry Potter have to do with hip-hop in 2008? In an age when many year-end lists should be subtitled "Ten More Albums You've Never Heard of and Will Never, Ever Hear," plenty. Technology has made the world smaller, and in response, we've found smaller and smaller worlds to inhabit. Think

  • The Top 10 Reissues of 2008

    It's time to rank the best of what went around and came around again. BILLY JOEL The Stranger (Columbia/Legacy) As punk and disco exploded, the Piano Man's deeply unhip 1978 breakthrough proved that top-shelf Broadway/Brill Building songwriting could still sell - and, occasionally, rock. "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" and "Anthony's Song (Movin' Out)" remain priceless snapshots of Annie Hall-era NYC, the title track bares real teeth, and the Kenny Chesney fave "Only the Good Die Young"

  • Xmas Jam Countdown: Band Aid, "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

    MP3: Band Aid, "Do They Know It's Christmas Time? (Original 1984)" I couldn't find the best version of this song, which is an extended mix with a totally earnest spoken-word bridge featuring the tune's participants. But here's the original version of 1984's seminal charity single, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" The U.K. tune was recorded to raise money to help ease famine in Ethiopia, but it also spawned countless hilarious parodies and spoofs (and arguably kicke

  • U2 3D Showing This Weekend at the Tivoli

    U2 3D, billed as the "first live-action 3D concert movie," is playing as part of the Tivoli's midnight movie series this weekend on Friday and Saturday night. I saw this last year when it was at the iMax, and it was seriously impressive. Here's the trailer for the flick. U2's current world tour isn't stopping in St. Louis -- the closest date is Chicago in September -- and I'm conflicted about it. On the one hand -- um, it's U2. And the stage setup is, as expected, completely innovative and elabo

  • Ten Things to Do Under $10 This Weekend, August 21-23, 2009

Time to get out there and make as many mistakes as possible in the next 48 hours before lying to yourself that you're "really going to hit the books" this semester. For the rest of us, there's a variety of cheap choices this weekend -- from butterflies and books to local showcases of hip-hop and punk bands. Here's ten things to do for less than $10 this weekend for you and yo' broke-ass friends:Pride and Passion at St. Louis

  • Show Review Photos Setlist: Our Lady Peace and Company of Thieves at the Pageant, Friday, October 30

    Shae Moseley​ A truly charismatic, energetic opening act that commands the audience's attention is a rare find at most bigger rock shows. But at Friday's Our Lady Peace show at the Pageant, Chicago's Company of Thieves set the bar high, thanks to an irresistible blend of dance-party funk and soulful, spaced-out psychedelia. The band pulled out all the stops with its Halloween spirit, taking the stage dressed as the cast of The Wizard of Oz. Vocalist Genevieve Schatz made a perfect Doroth

  • Stuck to My Ribs: Bono's Pizzeria

    Josh Bacott​One of the detriments to living in a city that claims its own "style" of pizza? A significant chunk of the locally-owned establishments ignore the alternatives.Seemingly every neighborhood joint that offers delivery specializes in thin-crust St. Louis-style pizza. As a lifelong resident of the Gateway City, I'm an unabashed lover of St. Louis-style pizza. I typically live by the credo the more provel, the better.But one problem with our city's trademark pizza is that when a guy ha

This would be a great weekend to stop by Citygarden, if you haven't already, and maybe grab a bite to eat at the Terrace View, the subject of my review this week. Or, if you're in the mood for pizza, maybe try Bono's Pizzeria, which Josh profiled in this week's Stuck to My Ribs. Or, if this week's Chef's Choice profile enticed you, you can visit Steven Caravelli at
