  • I say hummus, you say Hamas

    The new Sasha Baron Cohen movie Bruno debuted this weekend. Among the more genteel scenes is the clip below, in which the Austrian fashion designer goes to Jerusalem and makes a food faux-pas. Hilarity ensues:   Yossi Alpher, the former Mossad intelligence officer sitting to Cohen's left in the interview wrote a commentary about what it's like to be interviewed by a man who doesn't know a terrorist group from a hill of beans.

  • Concert Review: Matisyahu at the Crossroads

    BY SAMMY LOREN How do you review a musician like Matisyahu? Does he perform Jewish music or music exploring Jewish themes? Is he a Jewish artist or an artist who happens to be a Hasidic Jew? Does any of it even matter? These conundrums plagued me throughout Matisyahu's al fresco concert Friday at the Crossroads at Grinders. Buddy Blackman When Matisyahu and his quartet hit the stage promptly at 6:30 p.m., the low end struck first. Warm, languid and laconic. Next the drummer punched in the back

  • Crazy gibberish scrawled on van fails to spark religious conversion

    Following a tip about a van covered in apocalyptic prophecy, I traveled to Independence in search of some good crazy. I wasn't able to find the mind behind the mystic van of prophecy, but I was able to find the vehicle itself. And, as promised, it's pretty wacky. The van covered with dire warnings of God's wrath has been parked at the corner of Lexington and River in Independence for months now. To actually quote it would be to assault the reader, so let's just leave it at this: The world's

  • Best of Extra: Late-night eats

    ​Whether you are an insomniac or just looking to soak up some of the alcohol in your system, everybody has a weakness when the night turns into morning. In our annual Best Of Kansas City issue, readers deemed the Best Late-Night Food to be Chubby's on Broadway, because as Charles Ferruzza wrote in 2000, "in midtown, no one ever needs to go hungry after midnight."  Beyond Chubby's, readers also sought comfort in the arms of chains -- Denny's and Taco Bell were popular choices for the fourt

  • Concert Review: Mirah at the Jackpot

    REVIEW BY IAN HRABE Olympia, Washington's Mirah is my favorite female vocalist, and I am constantly surprised that she has somehow managed to stay out of the mainstream. Especially when so many artists wearing an "indie" tag are being commodified. illustration by Ian Hrabe​ Yet I still find it strange that she can barely draw 50 people to the Jackpot Music Hall on a Saturday night. Perhaps it was for the best. Each and everybody in attendance was loyal and respectful, making made for one
