Read MoreIt is officially Friday. You've either got the day off for Good Friday, or you're stuck at work counting down the hours. Either way, take a quick break, grab some caffeine and watch the five videos we have for you below. We've got a new tune from Sarah Jaffe, some Denton drone footage, music for mandated state testing (the best kind of music), Wesley Jensen at the Chairy Orchard, and a video from a locally-made comedy series. Check them all out in the post below!
Read MoreThe Denton openings/closings are just too much to keep up with. We use Evernote to keep track of all sorts of stuff that has happened in town and then load up our notes when it is time to write. And even then - in the short span of just a month - when we re-read our notes, we're kinda like, "Oh yeah. That happened." Dirt moves quick in Denton County, y'all. Read on for the local wheelings and dealings in this month's Denton Business Update.
Read MoreDaylight savings time is a big slap in the face to anyone who can count the number of actual hours of daylight we’ve got. At any rate, now you’ve got “more time” to get in awesome pictures of a sunset over the square or your smoothie. Trust us, we love it all. Hashtag #WDDI and all that jazz.

Read MoreI first heard the song “Chasing a Bee” from Mercury Rev’s debut album, Yerself Is Steam, in the early '90s. The song finds symphonic grandeur in a droning, looping psychedelic wash of noise that intermittently envelopes instruments such as acoustic guitar and flute creating a seven-minute capsule of blissed-out experimental rock. Two and a half decades later, Mercury Rev continues to release albums that veer stylistically from the dense, sonic explorations found on Yerself Is Steam and Boces to the often stunning, orchestral statements found on Deserter’s Songs and their recent, The Light in You. In preparation for their upcoming show with Josh T. Pearson at Dan’s Silverleaf on Sunday, March 20th, I had a chance to talk with one of the band’s founding members, guitarist/clarinetist, Sean “Grasshopper” Mackowiak. Read on to hear what he had to say.

Read More3 songs is a monthly column devoted to bringing you the freshest tracks from your local music scene. This month we're pushing three producers into your news feed, York Morgan, Oracle Jones & Honor System. If you don't have a sound system with a decent sub woofer, you may want to put on your favorite headphones because these beats are all about that bass.
Read MoreBottomless mimosas are both a blessing and a curse - especially if you're the type to not feel alcohol until the moment you stand up. We've had brunches before when that glass (or flute or whatever) just seems to never go empty. Every time you turn around your half full glass become completely full once more. And the mimosas at local fave The Chestnut Tree are even more impressive than that. The abundance of flavors makes for a different glass every refill and ability to serve yourself means that you won't feel ashamed about your mimosa-habit every time the waiter walks by and side-eyes you. Anna Ryan knows what we're talking about. The comic and artist put together this 5-panel comic strip documenting a meal with accompanying mimosas at The Chestnut Tree. She showcases what may be an all-too-familiar scene that may occur if your bottomless mimosa glass gets refilled a few too many times.
