BY JAMIE DAVIS Bishop Allen [pictured, above] are basically a fun little Brooklyn indie pop band: Fairly nonsensical lyrics, a xylophone player, skinny jeans and guitars worn 1964 George Harrison style. On disc, the songs sound pretty much as you’d expect, catchy, low-key, nothing really fantastic but pleasant enough to hold the moment, if not [...]

I was probably around 13 or 14 when Marvin Gaye's life was ended by the very man that contributed to his existence. At the time the only song I truly appreciated was his 1981 hit Sexual Healing. Of course as an eleven year old, I didn't fully understand what the song was talking about. But I loved watching him sing it and his voice was like sweet nectar to my ears. After graduating high school and...

If you closed your eyes last Saturday night in Las Vegas, it felt like another era. Throughout the MGM Grand Garden Arena, iconic athletes (Derek Jeter and Magic Johnson) mixed easily with A-List (Sean "Diddy" Combs, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg) and B-list (Jon Seda, Kevin Dillon) celebrities. The ringside parade of fighters included legitimate boldfaced names -- Roberto Duran, Thomas...

It's Dallas week, and thanks to the win at home on Sunday, it actually feels like it matters. Over at the Redskins.com mothership, the estimable Larry Weisman has composed a nice retrospective of the Redskins/Cowboys feud ; it's worth reading as a whole, but here's the section that stuck out for me: Back in the early 1980s, before the Cowboys began their slide into mediocrity, Dallas Week roused the...

And what was shockingly embarrassing was that I still remembered the words from the album after [...]
