Diana Ross. Live. Not in concert but nonetheless, guaranteed to be an interesting evening. Ross will be the next speaker at the Brinker International Forum on April 28. And, thanks to the folks at the Forum, we will give away a pair of tickets every day this week. First one to e-mail me at abothwell@kera.org [...]
I originally intended to stay at Good Records‘ day-long National Record Store Day celebration (cheekily dubbed “Revolution 9″) for maybe an hour, tops. I ended up hanging out on Good’s Lowest Greenville site for nearly four (and, as a result, skipped out on the Dallas Art Dealers Association Spring Gallery Walk altogether), and I would [...]
Ballet’s business: The Dallas Morning News takes a long look at Texas Ballet Theater.

ST. NICK AT THE MODERN: With a lot of festival movies, if you don’t catch the one or two screenings they have, then you probably missed your chance. But the local festivals have been doing a good job of making sure that their best films make their way back onto area screens. One of those [...]
It’s cheap and easy today to purchase music online or at a big box retailer. That’s why there are only a handful of independent record stores left in North Texas. On Saturday, several of them will celebrate National Record Store Day with special events and concerts. KERA’s Stephen Becker recently hung out at one store to find out how it continues to thrive.
If you haven’t been to an independently owned record store in a while, this weekend is a good time to go back. Several local shops will celebrate National Record Store Day on Saturday, including CD Source, Good Records and Movie Trading Company in Dallas; CD Warehouse and Eargazum in Arlington; Doc’s Records and Vintage in [...]
A LOCAL MAKES IT TO CARNEGIE HALL: Way back in December, we told you about a contest to put together a symphony orchestra through YouTube.
