"Paff me the quille, Zacharye." In addition to posting a full summer's worth of Warped Tour dates on their MySpace, Kansas City's Architects have posted a blog about some new songs, describing how they sound, what key they're in, what they're about, and what pop culture references they do/do not. Example: TITLE: Knowing Is Half The Bottle KEY: B flat major TEMPO: Quick, bouncy SOUNDS LIKE: The Dictators, The Pretenders -- although having never listened to either The Dictators or The Pretenders

June 3, 2004Concert Review: Rufus Wainwright, February 21, at the Uptown
Nicole Reinertson Progeny of the smart, comic songwriter Loudon Wainwright III and Princess Fiona, Rufus Wainwright, mid 30s, strode on stage at the Uptown dressed in clashing casuals, an Obama bandanna upon his head as though he'd just escaped captivity at the hands of campus feminists and was greeted by light but warm applause, which was not due to the crowd's lacking enthusiasm but rather to its size. I don't know the exact number, but probably around 500 people turned out for the solo-at-pi

January 27, 2005Concert Review: Madeleine Peyroux at the Folly, 3/20/09

Peyroux, a 34-year-old natural with one foot in Brooklyn and the other in Paris, attracts a decidedly old-school crowd, one that buys CDs (Peyroux's new Bare Bones is No. 23 on Amazon.com's music sales chart today) and pays attention to radio (public radio, anyway -- Friday's

November 4, 2009Cyprus Avenue host Bill Shapiro talks Leonard Cohen
When Leonard Cohen's first-ever Kansas City concert was announced a few months ago, you'd have been forgiven for assuming it was the latest Folly Theater event booked by Bill Shapiro, host of KCUR 89.3's long-running music show (and pledge-drive workhorse) Cyprus Avenue. Shapiro had often named the Cohen tour as No. 1 on his wish list. In fact, the tour is an AEG jam at the Midland, and if you're sitting anywhere close to the dapper Canadian, you've blown a big-city chunk of change. (As
