Food and Drink Features
Louis Fowler
For many people, coffee is just something you slosh out of a dirty convenience store decanter and gulp down each morning.

Citizen Fred — Citizen Fred
Rock
Louis Fowler
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a raucous good time with Citizen Fred’s self-titled disc. With guttural vocals and crunching guitars, it sounds like the background music to a scene in a buddy-cop film where the mismatched partners go into a sleazy strip club to shake down perps.
Dirty Red & the Soulshakers — Soul Shakin’
Rock
Louis Fowler
I know most purists would look middle-aged white guys playing soul music and immediately pass — I can’t count how many times I have — but damned if Dirty Red & the Soulshakers don’t rock the joint for all of its juke, lack of pigment notwithstanding.
Michael Summers — More
Jazz
Louis Fowler
This honky cat is really something else! Need proof? Just take a listen to his swingin’ version of the Elton John classic. Deep bass grooves, jaunty piano, smooth trumpet and sexy, crystalline vocals: This is the version to which all others now must live up.

Music
Louis Fowler
While Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter Luke Dick’s base of operations is currently New York City, it doesn’t mean he’s completely left his Okie roots behind.
Straight outta high school
Local rapper Kulprit D comes of age in the hip-hop game with his latest project.
Music
Louis Fowler
How did Eazy-E get his nickname? What about Dr. Dre or Ice Cube or any other master MC with a moniker? Chances are few of them got it as part of a misunderstanding at high school.
