• Local Bands to Watch: Stonefox and the Pretty Faces, Both at City Limits on Friday

  (Photo via Stonefox's MySpace page)Stonefox is a garage band in the purest sense of the word -- except, perhaps, for the fact that they did most of their recording in living rooms. But they did accomplish the entire recording for their first full-length LP, Dead in the Sun on "barely professional" equipment. Following what they dubbed a "discouraging recording experience," vocalist Jordan Asher, lead guitarist David Barnard, drummer/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Rosenthal, and bassist Ross shunned

• Hippie-ish Band Donna the Buffalo to Play at Hippie-ish Venue City Limits, Jan. 16

  (Photo via www.donnathebuffalo.com)Donna the Buffalo, a band who hails from Trumansburg, New York, sounds inseparable from the Great Outdoors. These are the kind of old Deadheads who probably chose to cover John Anderson's Everglades ode "Seminole Wind" because it's got otters and gars in it. Their originals suggest holistic hippies squeezing accordions and strumming washboards on the front porch, two-stepping in the shadow of yonder mountain range. They constantly get cosmic about Mother Earth

• Impressions of the Delray Beach Garlic Festival

  I decided to spend Valentine's Day - at least the day part of it - at the Delray Beach Garlic Festival, a weekend-long ode to the clove going down at Old School Square. The fest had a lot going on: there were vendors aplenty, hocking garlic-based sauces, dips, spreads, and salsas. There was a garlic-inspired food alley, where you could get yourself a mess foods drenched in the titular aromatic; everything from Argentine-style skirt steak with garlic chimichurri to garlic-marinated vegetable pani

• Q&A with Tokyo Police Club's Greg Alsop

  Any band that can crank out seven songs in the span of just 16 minutes and not give up a thing is all right by me.  And that's exactly what Tokyo Police Club did with their 2006 debut EP titled A Lesson In Crime.  Their single off that EP, "Nature of the Experiment", which features bright vocal work and a controlled rage of guitars, is perfect if only for the sheer economy of songwriting, weighing in at a lean 2 minutes long.    Faintly reminiscent of New York indie/gar

• Breakfast of Champions: Scrapple!

  Ingredients: "Everything but the squeal"Here's where Italy meets Philly meets the tropics: at Caffe Luna Rosa in Delray Beach you'll dine on homemade breads, handmade pasta, and veal chop Milanese at outdoor tables just a hop from the beach. Somehow that salt air is all the seasoning chef Ernesto di Blasi's Northern Italian specialties need. The gang at Luna Rosa are sticklers for quality: meat and poultry is natural and hormone free; tomatoes are the real San Marzano deal; hamburger is ground f

• House Majority Leader Adam Hasner Leaves Chamber During Muslim Prayer

  HasnerHere's is my personal take on officially lead prayer in public areas like legislative chambers, schools, and other government functions: If I had it my way, it wouldn't happen. Now, a bit of personal prayer is fine. Back in my school days I prayed to Jesus before many a test, and I'm not particularly religious. However, leading a group in public prayer in such a setting leads to some awfully dicey situations, and an unlikely person perfectly illustrates why. The Palm Beach Post repor

They laundered money, sold drugs and extorted business owners with violent threats. They trafficked stolen goods and ran insurance and Medicare scams. And just for good measure, they beat people up for money, conspired to murder

  As part of its grand opening Saturday, Tim Finnegans in Delray Beach is inviting musicians to bring their instruments and participate in an Irish Open Mic. If you don't have an Irish bodhran lying around, don't fret. You can still pretend your heart pumps green blood by covering Cockles and Mussels (a.k.a. Molly Malone) or Finnegan's Wake, the song that inspired James Joyce to write a novel by the same name. Moreover, Tim Finnegans the pub is named after the characte

He says "It's always good to figure out how to introduce the average beer drinker to new flavors. You have to know what everything tastes like and what it's similar to in order to make recommendations like that. I never complain about the research, that's for sure. I think that good beer is meant to be shared with others and the more people that are interested in good b

• Does Brooklyn H2O Make for a Better Bagel? Curious Cook Harold McGee Weighs in on The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co.

  Jackie SayetNow that's a bagel we can sink our teeth into... This one's from Roasters N' Toasters, who sources its boiled babies from Bagel Express. We can say it does some of the best nova in Miami. The best bagel? The jury's still out, although we're partial to The Bagel Emporium.​Is there something in Brooklyn water that makes a bagel great and authentically New York-tasting?  Steve Fassberg thinks so, but others find a hole in this theory, particularly our local bagel shops and so
