The Dream Momma’s dream
I recently adopted a tiny rescued dog named Nena. She is a Shih Tzu toy. I renamed her Miss Nena because of her elegant ways (except when it comes to food. Then she turns into a 4.5 lb. gang-banger on speed. Not being a dog person (so sorry all you dog addicts) I took her…
Dream Momma: A feral cat dream
I'm in an old house. An old woman, that I somehow know, tells me a cat has been attacked by a wild animal and will die. I rush to see and the cat has no hind legs and only half a face but is eating aggressively and balancing well on two front paws. It is…
Dream Momma: My brother is an addict
Dream Momma, I dreamed I won the lottery and right afterwards met the perfect girl who was really into me. In the next part of the dream I am driving my asshole of a brother to rehab. (My last and best relationship ended because of him). I look into the rear view mirror of my…
Reliving history’s greatest moments – Video game review: WWE Legends of Wrestlemania
Much like opera, I like professional wrestling in an abstract and nostalgic way more than up close and in person. I used to go to opera a lot actually. I used to watch wrestling every week too. Now I mostly play video games it seems. And while I like an occasional aria, I love the…
Kama Sutra: the amazon woman
Getting into position: The Amazon Woman is a female dominant position that begins with the male on his back with both his knees pulled in towards his chest as far as flexibility will allow. It may be necessary for him to arch his back and roll his body backwards in order to give the woman…
Album review: PJ Harvey & John Parish, A Woman A Man Walked By
A review by The 941 and Tampa Calling blogger and Creative Loafing Sarasota editor Cooper Levy-Baker. By the time she released her sixth solo album — Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea — Polly Jean Harvey had pretty much stretched her sound in every direction it could logically go. 1992’s Dry was her…

Out today: Dennis Miller: The HBO Specials
[Note: For a more complete rundown of today's DVD/Blu-ray releases, go here. I thought D.M. deserved a little special attention …] It’s a shame what’s happened to Dennis Miller’s career. After graduating from Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” anchor chair, Miller went on to fame and fortune with some killer HBO specials, crappy movie work…
Top Chef Masters promises payback, but less drama
Bravo announced today the line-up of its new Top Chef Masters show, which premieres June 10. The concept is simple: How would established chefs — some of them culinary celebrities of a sort — fare under the challenges of of the Top Chef-style competition? There are some problems with the look of the new show,…
Beer Store Roundup: Whole Foods on Dale Mabry
Everyone knows Whole Foods on Dale Mabry is the place to be for high quality food and beverages. My favorite thing about the beer section, besides the fact that it's located directly across from the massive cheese cooler, is the presentation. The way the beers are grouped together tells a story, and seeing all those…
New today on DVD & Blu-ray
The Academy Awards may have come and gone, but this year’s nominees for Best Picture are just now making their way to your home theater. Milk led the pack with a March 10 release date, followed by Oscar winner Slumdog Millionare, which hit DVD and Blu-Ray on March 31. April sees Amy Adams and Meryl…
The Devil’s Advocate with Bill Keller, Vol. 2
"You could call it the Sodomite community, but that only affirms the male aspect (laughs). "Homosexuality" at least encompasses men and women." —Bill Keller The first installment of The Devil's Advocate with Bill Keller drew lots of traffic and more than a hundred comments. Welcome to our second Q&A. I'll be playing the role of…
Guinness Shepherd’s Pie recipe
Do you hear the bag pipes in the distance? Or was that angels singing? What ever it was, you will hear glorious music when you bite into this casserole. Many a years I have been completely drunk at the Irish Pub for St. Patty's, insisting on eating the shepherds pie they plop on my plate.…
See the Bolts for five bucks
Okay, this has been a forgettable season for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They fired new coach Barry Melrose just 16 games into the season and the team has been eliminated from the playoffs. Vinny Lecavalier even went ahead and had wrist surgery to end his season early. But professional hockey is still fun to watch,…

Professor D’costas- an erotic story from the mind of a college freshman
D'costas had always fascinated me, what with his dark eyes, Indian tan skin, and lush red lips. I met him at college, but he wasn't a student; he was an English professor, my English professor, and just a few years older than my nineteen years. Professor D'costas always noticed me from behind his dark rimmed…
Why does sex talk intimidate potential fuck buddies?
It’s Friday Night and I’m at home waiting on my date. Since I’m still waiting, I assume I scared him off. This has been happening more often. Maybe I'm getting too aggressive. I’ve been assertive with men my entire life. I was under the impression that society had changed and it was ok for a…
Alchemy Fest 4 at Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa
On Sunday, April 19, Skipper's Smokehouse will host the 4th annual Alchemy Fest – an all-ages, family-friendly, outdoor event that's like Easter, Earth Day and 4:20 all rolled into one.

Concert Review: Ben Folds at The Ritz Ybor
A wrap of the Friday, April 3 show by B.Treotch; photo by Phil Bardi. Walking by the Ritz in Ybor city last Friday night, you may have thought some tech convention was going on. Tucked-in shirts, leather belts and fresh haircuts are not your normal rock concert attire, but then again, Ben Folds isn’t your…
New video: Dead Man’s Bones, “Name in Stone”
Just got a link to a new video by gothic/gospel group Dead Man's Bones, "Name in Stone." The band's music is raw and gothic spooky, and the schtick is that in the vid, they're performing live in a cemetery with L.A. Inner Mass Choir and the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Children's Choir. It starts out…
The Doves’ latest streaming on MySpace today.
MySpace has be come the place to debut new material, and it's not uncommon for artists to stream their forthcoming albums in full on MySpace leading up to the album's release date. Usually it's a redundant maneuver as new releases tend to leak weeks early, but for those who don't have the time or patience…
Restaurant critic stories: Secret agent man or flimflam artist?
I'm pretty serious about my anonymity. I've had both very good and very bad experiences on the few occasions when I know I've been recognized while out for a review — sometimes I think restaurants get flustered or try too hard when they know a critic is in the house — but going in under…
“Mockamole”- Not quite guacamole, but just as good
I am a big fan of guacamole and avocados in general. So when I found this recipe for guacamole that didn't use avocados in my Meatless Monday cookbook, I was a bit skeptical. But, as the saying goes, don't knock it 'til you've tried it. The great thing about this recipe is that it contains items…
Summer fashions: F.A.T. ink to open in South Tampa in May
Summer is comin on, and what better way to start off the summer with a sneak peak at some new fashions?! In addition to a killer photo shoot done by Athena Torri i have some exciting news about a new store opening in Tampa! Designer Raven Reda of Suspicious Package has wrangled in great independent…
CD Review: Raul Malo’s Lucky One
Raul Malo: Lucky One (Fantasy) He's one of the most gifted contemporary singers in any genre, and although he occasionally goes a little Andrea Bocelli on us, Raul Malo can really bring the swoon with his clear, heart-on-sleeve tenor. The ex-Mavericks frontman, solo since 2001, calls to mind his former band on Lucky One, although…
Video game Wanted: Weapons of Fate: No Angelina Jolie, but still some thrills
How do you make a video game based on a movie that every critic said was just like a video game? I'd assumed they'd just take the lazy, easy cash-in route and take the movie and render it in pixels and then add 10 more hours of Angelina Jolie's ass. Because somewhere there's a movie…
NCAA Tournament: Confessions of a closet Michigan State fan
I have a little something to admit… I'll tell you I have been wanting to get this off my chest for basically the entire tournament. My contributor page only tells part of the story. I grew up in Tampa and I went to the University of South Florida for my undergraduate studies. Currently, I am…
Ready for Spring: A lesson in steak
I don't know about your neighborhood but if you drive through mine at dinner time, you'll know its spring. The smell of grills fired up is a constant and it will be for a while. Even though we Floridians are proud that we grill year ‘round, something about late march through Memorial Day fills the…
Do It Today: Conchords, Percussion, Goodman
of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement (pictured) — are unlikely stars in America. Ironically, their popularity can be directly attributed to their HBO sitcom, Flight of the Conchords, a faux-reality show that follows the pair as they navigate NYC’s musical landscape and attempt to develop an American fanbase. The show’s not only hilarious, but has…

Various Artists: Covered, A Revolution in Sound: Warner Bros. Records (Warner Bros.) To commemorate its golden anniversary, Warner Bros.

One Day As A Lion “Wild International” Video
This release from Rage Against the Machine's Zack de la Rocha and former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore came out back in July 2008. I think its interesting to see what some jam sessions lead to. At a mere 5-songs, the repetitive but inspired debut eponymous EP seems like a good weekend jam that was…
You really ought to give Iowa a try!
What do the corn-fed, flag-wavin', salt-of-the-earth folks of Iowa have in common with the liberal, yankee blue bloods of Connecticut and Massachusetts? If you guessed State Supreme Courts that operate in accordance with the principles of justice and reason, you're absolutely right. Earlier today, the Iowa Supreme Court unanimously decided that a 1998 law limiting…
Official video for Tori Amos’ “Welcome to England.”
Intial thought: Are those Alexander McQueen shoes she's wearing? (Her first outfit)
CD Review: Neko Case, Middle Cyclone
Neko Case: Middle Cyclone (Anti-) Perhaps in 30 years we’ll look back at Neko Case with the same reverence that we do now with, say, Joni Mitchell — as a true original. Will Case ever carry the same legendary stature? Hard to say, but it seems to me that legends are not as easily made…
It’s Final! The winner of the 2009 Tournament of Tacos Readers’ Poll is…
After four weeks of voting — and over 7,500 votes cast — you guys have picked the most popular tacos in the entire Bay area. The Championship match pitted the popular Dunedin Mexican restaurant Casa Tina against the surprisingly active fans of Lutz's Mekenita Mexican Grill in a 24-hour marathon of voting. It was the…
How to Book a Tour in 7 Steps
Touring is hard. With the current economy, its even tougher for independent bands to hit the road and actually make some money. Despite the financial constraints, touring is the most effective way to spread your music across the land. Sure MySpace will get you some ears, but nothing beats seeing the band live, seeing them…
No Clear Records: Shameless self promotion
I'm still trying to find my identity in the Tampa Bay area. I've got the "you've got to drive everywhere all the time if you want to have any fun and be a part of anything" vibe down, but there's something missing in my overall music making and living experiences in St. Petersburg. The latest rash of…
FDA-approved lash-growth product
For decades, women have answered "mascara!" when asked the proverbial "desert island" question. But what if there were a product that could transform your natural lashes to look like you've already slapped on the goop? That could free up your sole item for, um, fresh water, maybe…? Maybe not. Now, what if that product started…

We are polishing up for our premiere performance tonight at the 7th Annual Ybor Festival of the Moving Image It's a one-night-only deal, we are one…
Bruno trailer released online
Universal has dropped the red-band trailer for Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen's follow-up to 2006's hilarious Borat. Word is the MPAA slapped Bruno with the dreaded NC-17 rating, and from the looks of this preview that may have been generous. This being a big summer release from a major studio, I'm sure the producers will work…
Beer Review: Bud Light Chelada — a slap in the face to the traditional blend
Every culture has its own customary mixed drink creations; the Germans are famous for combining their pure Reinheitsgebot brews with carbonated sodas or fruit preserves. In Mexico and many other Central/ South American countries, there's a tradition of mixing light beer and Clamato. In classier circles, this drink is referred to as a Bearded Clam.…

Polyamory on MTV: being a credit to your kink
When you’re in any form of minority, you hope pop culture representations of your group are fair. You anxiously watch episodes of talk shows and scour newspaper articles in hopes that this one got it right. This is the show that doesn't devolve into the sensationalist, “OMG these people are so weird!” that makes you…

The stories behind the storytellers
Of all the great lost arts of America, perhaps it’s time to praise the short story. People still write them and magazines and literary journals still publish them. But we must have hit some sort of a peak – a harmonic convergence, perhaps – in the middle of the last century. In a long tradition that…
Restaurant Preview: Custom Creations Cafe and Bakery
It's only recently that Tampa has embraced its inner history. Many older buildings laid empty and sadly rotted, eventually being bulldozed to make way for "new development." In this economy, however, everything old is cool again. Take Pickford's Sundries on Hillsborough near Armenia Ave. CL Tampa Editor David Warner recently profiled the building: Pickford's Sundries,…

Tips for Blossoming Concert Promoters
Promoters can be very effective in breaking new bands and creating a music scene. A promoter is a person that contacts venues, sets up shows and assembles a bill of bands that he thinks will draw lots of patrons to the venue. Successful ones are usually well-connected, popular and fair to the core bands they…
Second Annual St. Pete Noise Fest
I've got some pretty varied taste in music and I'm usually pretty open to the sort of sonics other people tend to find abrasive, or abnormal, or just plain out there. I like music that feels like it could fall apart at any minute, that's absurd or ironic, that's too smart for its own good.…
Tournament of Tacos Readers’ Poll CHAMPIONSHIP: Casa Tina vs. Mekenita Mexican Grill
It's all come down to this. All the signs in the restaurant, the mass emailings to patrons and friends, the voting every ten minutes like clockwork. Casa Tina and Mekenita Mexican Grill have both done their jobs, mobilizing fans and getting out the vote. But now is crunch time for these taco prom queens. Can…
Tournament of Tacos Readers’ Poll Results: Mekenita vs. Mema’s
With over 800 votes cast — and a fairly close tally throughout the last 24 hours — Mekenita Mexican Grill has managed to knock Mema's Alaskan Tacos out of the Readers' Poll by a vote of 455 to 358. Now it's time to vote for the biggest match of all, the battle across the bay,…
The long want – a poem
The rope ran from the floor to the ceiling through the legs and hair of an anthropomorphic feeling like wet colors dripping down an unfinished Dali painting, waiting, she was, for the perfume behind her knees to waft through the crowd beneath her. Waiting for sunshine to melt down the inhibitions, peeling away the onion's…
Michelle Obama goes to the opera with world’s first ladies, towers over them
Michelle Obama is ridiculously tall, about 5'11" according to "official" sources (Chickipedia has her listed at 6'1). Look at this shot of her among the wives and partners of politicians attending the G20 summit at an event at Covent Garden's Royal Opera House: Not to be confused with the following photo from the book Wonders…
Wine for Celebration: Roederer Estate Brut
This week brought an occasion to celebrate; after several months of heated battle in bankruptcy court, a judge ruled my family could maintain ownership of Creative Loafing. My parents started the paper in 1972 in Atlanta and it's never been controlled by anyone else. To the say the least, losing the company to a hedge fund would have…
Ninebullets is floored by Strawfoot
Strawfoot is “an angry preacher and a bunch of foul-mouthed heathens” from somewhere in St. Louis. The moment I heard the track “Damnation Way” from the Rodentia compilation I was excited almost to the point of being giddy to hear more music from them. Within 5 minutes of hearing them for the first time I…
Death to all but metal.
I can't tell if this is a viral video for an upcoming movie or what…alls I know is that it's fucking hilarious:
Make everything taste like bacon with Bacon Salt
The next time you have the insatiable crave for delicious, salty bacon, look no further than your kitchen cabinet: Bacon Salt!

Reel Projections: Ybor Festival of the Moving Image

Ninebullets.net debuts an official podcast.
The ninebullets.net debut podcast is everything you'd expect; awesome music, supliferous use of the word "fuck" and a host who is so drunk he stars slurring by the end of the hour. So, check it out and tune in next month, where I'll curse more and probably drink less: Tracklisting: Drive-By Truckers – "Nine Bullets"…
Sensory Overload 4.0: It’s a wrap.
It was, by far, the best Sensory Overload event we put on since the inaugural four years ago. The music was pumping, the booties were moving, the art was pretty stellar, and a good time was had by all. Here's a video from the.0 event. To check out our Flickr page of pics from the…
Beanstalk returns for this Sunday’s Old School Reunion at Skipper’s
Local bands come and go, but there are always those few that make such a lasting impression, that burned so hot and so bright in their heyday, that they are remembered and talked about long after they're gone. Case in point: Beanstalk, an instrumental, funk/jazz/jam trio that peaked in Tampa nearly a decade ago and…
Tournament of Tacos Readers’ Poll Tampa Championship: Mekenita vs. Mema’s
Both Mekenita Mexican Grill in Lutz and Mema's Alaskan Tacos in Ybor have been able to motivate the troops and get out the vote, no matter the competition. But how will the two powerhouses fare against each other? Which taco deserves to move on to the Championship? Vote after the break —
Tournament of Tacos Readers’ Poll Results: Zurritos vs. Casa Tina
Wow. WOW! Over 850 votes were cast in this epic battle between two Pinellas taco favorites, but only one can move on to the Bay area championships. With a count of 571 to 293, Casa Tina utterly dominated the vote. So much so, in fact, that Zurritos' Zack Gross emailed me a concession earlier today.…

Beer Review : Stone Ruination IPA, a liquid poem to the glory of the hop
Quality of life for insatiable hopheads living in Florida has improved substantially within the last few months. A colossal beer from San Diego’s Stone Brewing has entered the local market, leaving a mass of traumatized taste buds in its wake. Stone’s website describes Ruination IPA as “a liquid poem to the glory of the hop,…
Sake primer
I often think of sake as the forgotten wine. We are often so preoccupied with fruit based wines that we ignore the shadow world of wines made by fermenting rice; and, of course, we stereotype all sake by the “jet fuel” tasting hot sake we order at sushi restaurants. Generally speaking, hot sake’s pecking order is…

Cigar City Brewing Launch Party in pictures
I love a good microbrew, and the last decade has brought hundreds of exceptional contenders to the table. A lot of these operations are just a couple of guys in a basement experimenting with new flavors. Some of them are future Sam Adams, preparing to take a place amongst the big boys both in distribution…

Tournament of Tacos Readers’ Poll Pinellas Championship: Zurritos vs. Casa Tina
Zurritos has consistently motivated its loyal customers to get out the vote in the competition, with some of the highest tallies of any of the matches. Casa Tina has had it fairly easy so far.
