By Walton Murphy at 8:30 AM on July 31, 2009

Have you ever seen a meat puppet singing, dancing, suckling a woman's breast and doing cocaine? It's pretty bizarre. But if Pete, the singing figurine made of sausages, short rib and lamb isn't up your alley, then you can always check out the Meat Puppets, who have announced upcoming dates in continuing support of their latest album, Sewn Together.

SXSW 2009: More Film Reviews

By Tim Basham at 11:55 PM on March 24, 2009

Hal Holbrook & Barry Corbin in That Evening SunAs usual, the number of films seen during SXSW were in direct competition with the sum of hours slept, the quantity of BBQ consumed, the volume of alcoholic beverages imbibed, the length of lines endured and the number of parties partaken (Rachael Ray's was cool).

Green-Collar Rock: Great Nature Songs Vol. 2 (Land & Sky)

By Steve LaBate at 1:25 AM on January 30, 2009

With last week's inauguration of new President Barack Obama, there's been a lot of talk about green-collar jobs and making long-term investments by implementing environmentally sound policies now. It got me thinking about what we're protecting by doing this—first and foremost, the health and well-being of ourselves and future generations. But it's also about preserving this beautiful natural world we inhabit. There is no shortage of amazing songs that celebrate or draw from this beauty. Classics like John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" and The Beatles' "Blackbird" come immediately to mind, but there are so many more. Here are a few...  read more
