It has all shaken out as it should have, though, and the current lineup — led by husband and wife Jared and Jacy Deck — has created the band’s best work to date. Bound for Glory is an undeniably Southern-sounding record, laying tracks across dusty plain romances (“Pyre in the Blood”), swampy pop ballads (“Hall […]

‘X’ never, ever marks the spot
In the blockbuster Indiana Jones films, Jones is a bookish and tenacious anthropologist reluctantly pulled away from his quiet academic life to rescue powerful artifacts from the wrong (read: Nazi) hands. They boil with action and adventure, a reluctant hero and a happy ending. But we all know that Dr. Jones is the product of […]

Oh, Hobby Lobby
Oklahoma-based store ownership has loudly proclaimed anti-support for ladies’ healthcare (specific birth control methods) and would not support a female’s right to choose what happens to her own body (abortion and surrounding issues) because of reasons credited to religion.

Detective in underpants
Many of us were concerned when Andy Samberg retired from Saturday Night Live last spring. Would the comic genius get trapped in more forgettable movies like Hot Rod, then disappear? We needn’t have worried. Samberg stars in Brooklyn Nine- Nine, a single-camera sitcom that perfectly showcases his talent (Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., Fox). He plays hotshot detective Jake Peralta, who […]

And you’re equally likely to forget the entire movie 82 minutes […]
