Pipa: Asian Small Plates on the West Side
After living in the heart of Downtown for over a decade, recent circumstances allowed me to buy a house in the northwestern Salt Lake neighborhood of Rose Park. It’s an older neighborhood with deep roots, and with the arrival of the light rail along the North Temple corridor, rumors of a renaissance for the Rose Park and Fair Park neighborhoods have begun to stir, and a recent trip to the Rancho Market plaza on 900 West led me to the unassuming façade of Pipa. … read more

Localized: Bombshell Academy
March Localized features an orgy of electric sound on March 15 at 9 p.m. The sultry, blues-rock sounds of Merchant Royal will massage things into action before we get a little horny (that’s a trumpet joke) with energetic, brass-infused ska-punkers Bombshell Academy.

Dear Dickheads – January 2014
Look. I love you guys/gals/guygals, but I take issue with the fact that you ran a profile on EA Games in November. EA is the largest video game publisher in the world. It’s a multi-billion dollar corporation. Frankly, there isn’t anything even close to “underground” about it. … read more
