PHOTO ESSAY
Known mostly for tragedies—the tornado of 1953, the “Crash at Crush,” and the Branch Davidian Siege—a first impression of Waco suggests a ghost town with a few remaining monuments to the city it once was and the potential it possessed before life got the better of it.

Now was my chance to create a great Richard Buckner story that I could share with all the cookie-wielding groupies that had left me standing awkwardly in the corner. The only thing I could come up with was “You’re Richard Buckner right?”

If you are going for a popcorn thriller, it’s easier to achieve mindless if you keep it meaningless. But this isn’t what Allison Moore does in Slasher, making its Southwest premier at the Kitchen Dog Theater.

Bullets Big In Sweden

If you listen to the much-welcomed, often pretty darn great Music to the Core station (a slogan which sounds to me like a good name for a nostalgic hour-long radio show for KNON that exclusively plays cuts from D.C’s early-80s scene) you’ve likely now heard Dallas’ favorite Brit-pop outfit, the Happy Bullets, co-headed by Oak Cliff’s resident bicycle / urban planning advocate Jason Roberts. KXT is not the only outlet digging the Bullets as of late. One of the group’s songs, “Good Day,” has been picked up by a Swedish ad campaign. You can watch two ads here and here. Via Jason: the band’s royalties so far consist of wooden shoes and IKEA gift cards. (Got the powder but not the gun / got the dog but not the bun, I guess.) So in related news, the Happy Bullets need a manager.

Art On Babble

Boy, it’s been quiet around here lately. I apologize to our regular readers – some changes are afoot and we will fill you in soon. For now, I couldn’t help but break the silence with this little video on Art Babble about photographer Catherine Opie (some of her work was in the Pretty Baby exhibition at the Fort Worth Modern a couple of years back, if you remember). Perhaps you know about Art Babble; I’m just learning about it now. It is a project out of the Indianapolis Museum of Art that aggregates video about art from a variety of sources. As IMA head honcho Max Anderson explains here, there is something about the way video can teach about the visual arts that makes it uniquely engaging and enlightening. Think of Art Babble as a mini-Art 21. Enjoy.
