Lust List 2005
My darlings, It's not easy for a girl like me to find love. Maybe it's the long, flawless legs. Or my large, firm breasts. Or the fact that I'm a cartoon. At any rate, when it comes to finding the hottest men and women in Tampa Bay, even little old Lusty needs help. So the…

Background CheckPINK LINCOLNSHazzardThis 32-track singles-and-rarities anthology by quasi-legendary Tampa Bay act Pink Lincolns serves, more than anything, to show just how much American punk has changed over the last 15 years. Primal, occasionally grating and determinedly antisocial, the group's sound was and remains almost diametrically opposed to punk's contemporary position at the cool edge of…

Nominating Quote: He's genuinely interested in others and it shows. He actually listens when folks talk! He has full lips, a slim build, a lively smile and always looks ready to impress. Yep, that's him. Tony Danza or Tony Roma's? Uh … Tony Danza. Who's the Boss? was one of my favorite shows. Angelina Jolie:…

Big Willie gets Hitch-ed
Some surprisingly smart writing and appealing performances from Will Smith and Eva Mendes lift this romantic comedy several notches above the norm. Smith and Mendes both play romantic cynics whose livelihoods depend upon navigating the love lives of others – she's a gossip columnist and he's a "date doctor" who coaches guys on getting girls…

Tony Danza or Tony Roma's? Well, I'm a vegetarian, so Tony Danza by default. Angelina Jolie: Homewrecker, or just a co-star? All is fair. When was the last time someone asked you out? Last night, but I am not sure. People are usually too pussy to be straightforward about it. Did you say yes? They…

Swimsuit IssuesMy boyfriend of seven months is constantly playing Madden (footballer John Madden's video game) and watching sports. I have zero interest in these hobbies, but I tolerate them because he's good to me.

Oh, Brothers
In October, the deans of New Orleans funk released Walkin' in the Shadow of Life, their first album since 1999. To these ears, the beats were too terse, booming and computer-driven. Where were the supple, undulating grooves that had always been their stock-in-trade? My answer came at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday, where the Neville Brothers…
