San Francisco's Papercuts have been a hot ticket on the local music scene for a while now. But with its upcoming album, Can't Go Back, the band may really be headed for the big time. I particularly love the track "John Brown," which the Papercuts' label just posted online. Despite some cutting-edge components — Jason Quever's shaky falsetto and the fidgety violins — the song really sounds Read more

Inspired by a trip to a local farmers market, Fresh Tart whips up a quick version of a food-stand favorite: the coconut curry Thai omelet. My son Nathan and I spent our summer Sundays eating our way through Kingfield Farmers Market. We did it last summer too and got in such a fun groove of eating together, visiting with friends, and stocking up on all of our favorite treats for the week. It's Read more

In tribute of 9/11, Lela Rose played John Lennon's "Imagine" to a crowd that, at times, even sang along. It was a good start to a show that kicked off with a hopeful and happy message. While her inspiration was the "neon graveyard," namely the unrestored and broken signs seen in Las Vegas and Coney Island, her collection was far from decrepit. Instead, muted neon hues, washed-out voile, and Read more

But if you'd prefer a natural version of the product, they're also incredibly cheap and easy to make, and you probably already have all the ingredients. So if you're ready to get the sun-kissed look for Read more
I grew up watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood every morning. And, honestly, I only remember feeling extremely resentful that I had to get dressed for school while, in Mister Rogers's universe, he was returning home from work to play. The start of every show, he routinely dresses down to his legit indoor outfit, which always includes a colorful cardigan and a pair of Keds. Now it's back-to-school Read more
