Dallas was treated to a genre-bending, emotionally rich, and visually spectacular night of music as Friko, Modest Mouse, and The Flaming Lips took over the Toyota Music Factory. From rising indie stars to psychedelic legends, the evening was a masterclass in how to move a crowd—whether through raw emotion, gritty anthems, or confetti-drenched joy.
Read MoreScattered across Central Texas, between San Antonio and Houston, lie a group of churches known for their richly decorated interiors, vibrant murals, and elaborate stenciling. These churches were built by 19th-century Czech and German immigrants who made Texas their home. In a few of these communities, the church is all that is left, as the surrounding community either got swept away by a hurricane or fire. Despite these adversities, the painted churches stand as a testament to their founders' faith, artistry, and resilience. Each church tells a unique story of its community, reflecting the cultural heritage and devotion of the immigrants who built them.

Ahh yes, Sessanta, the celebration of the 60th. It’s something I’m quickly headed towards, so I don’t like to think about it. But I hope I can celebrate it the way Maynard James Keenan celebrated his 60th year of birth, on Friday night. Maynard had his friends from A Perfect Circle, Primus, and Puscifer all on stage hanging out and jamming. A big-time Generation X wow factor of a music performance.

We couldn't handle the heat that is Dos XX until the sun went down and even then it was still over 100°. However, with the sun behind the wall, a nice breeze, and fans, I was pretty comfortable when Phoenix took the stage at 7:45 on Monday evening. And it seemed that everyone else was too as they rose to their feet when the French band, Phoenix opened up with Lisztomania. Surrounded by multiple layers of high-definition LED screens, the band appeared at times like they were performing inside a Renaissance painting, a video game, or on another planet. The band performed a career-spanning set that ended with their big hit 1901 and a reprisal of Identical, during which lead singer, Thomas Mars went into the crowd. I know that it comes as no surprise to anyone that I got caught in the middle of his crowd interactions, much like mosh pits of yore.
