• Hitsville: The Year in Music, by the Numbers

  By Randall RobertsYou don't need a half-wit music critic to tell you it's been a remarkable year for America, one historians will be discussing and researching for centuries to come. War, financial collapse, politics, technology: All have been dinner-table topics for many Americans. Racial barriers in 2008 were demolished by a Midwestern black man, and gender barriers were hurdled by an Arkansan and an Alaskan.Democracy has a few awesome new dance moves rolling into the Obama presidency, and it'

• Busted Rhymes: The Top 10 Most Preposterous Rap Songs of 2008

  By Ben Westhoff Hip-hop A-listers including Rick Ross, Akon and Plies were caught grossly exaggerating their gangster credentials this year. (Turns out they were painfully law-abiding. The horror!) But even if your favorite rapper wasn't caught in a lie, you can bet he or she put out a hilariously absurd record or two in 2008. Here are the most preposterous rap songs of 2008.

• Ben Taylor at the Record Bar, Wednesday, February 11

  Crystal K. Wiebe The sight of that tall drink of water turned a lot of heads at the Record Bar last night. Ben Taylor has his dad's chin, for sure. Also familiar: a low timbre in the voice. But I'm not sure the suburbanites, stoners and aging flower children who turned out in droves to the Record Bar last night would give much of a hoot about Taylor if his dad's first name wasn't James. Or maybe they would. Junior Taylor's music sounded like some other mega-successful acts, but mostly Jack John

• Tonight! Neil Halstead at the Jackpot (MP3 enhanced)

  Neil Halstead's dramatic ascent into the hearts of sleepy-music aficionados far and wide began with Slowdive, a shoegazey English band that channeled choice chunks of the Cocteau Twins and the Jesus and Mary Chain. The group left a couple of critically acclaimed albums in its wake when it disbanded in 1995, but Halstead quickly regrouped as Mojave 3 and become one of the 4AD label's signature acts. In hindsight, everything leading up to 2006's Puzzles Like You was merely a dress rehearsal, becau

• Lynn Jenkins looking for a 'great white hope'

  Lynn Jenkins​Kansas Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins got super stupid in Hiwatha last week when she told conservatives that a "great white hope" would stop President Barack Obama's political agenda. According to The Topeka Capital-Journal, Jenkins told the crowd: "Republicans are struggling right now to find the great white hope," Jenkins said to the crowd. "I suggest to any of you who are concerned about that, who are Republican, there are some great young Republican minds in Washington." Then Jen

• Jenkins voted for resolution pardoning boxer Jack Johnson, denouncing 'great white hope'

  Lynn Jenkins​Kansas Congresswoman Lynn "Where all the white folks at?" Jenkins' naivete defense for using turn-of-the-century racist phrase "great white hope" at a town-hall meeting a couple of weeks ago lost credibility Friday thanks to the Ottawa Herald. The Herald dug up the Kansas Republican's vote on a resolution asking President Obama to pardon Jack Johnson -- the first black world heavyweight boxing champion -- for violating the Mann Act (Johnson was convicted in 1913 for crossing state
