• Top 10 Dance Collections of 2008, Both Mixed and Unmixed

  By Randall RobertsAny knucklehead with DSL and a laptop can now make an electronic track. With a half hour of clicking and fiddling, you can sample enough cheesy beats and mashups to clog arteries from here to Berlin. Simple dropdown mouse maneuvers can transform electro tracks into progressive house tracks (from dry and synthetic to wet and gushy), rhythm tracks can be tempo-tweaked with an upward toggle to change a Timbaland beat into a Chromeo one. Add some T-Pain-esque pitch-correction voca

• World Wine Tour tonight

  California, Australia, Chile, France, South Africa. Five places on five different continents putting out amazing wine. Each with its own idiosyncrasies. That's the point behind the third World Wine Tour in Kansas City, which features nearly every wine-producing area on the globe. The event allows non-wine-experts one night of access to a library of wines -- chardonnay from all of the above-mentioned regions and others, for example. Or sangiovese -- it's known as the grape of Italian wine, but Ar

• Crikey! KFC not honoring grilled chicken coupons

  KFC president Roger Eaton may be from South Africa but he sounds Australian. No matter his accent, considering that several generations of Americans grew up hearing Colonel Sanders talk about his 11 herbs and spices in a Southern drawl, it's unsettling to hear a man who sounds like Steve Irwin's brother explaining how KFC goofed with its latest promo.Eaton had a rough week. Those coupons that KFC gave out and Oprah touted, yeah, well, the chain is not accepting those anymore because the response

• USA number one! In bad beer!

  To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield, America can't get no respect.  There are 1,500 breweries in the United States, the majority putting out good pale ales and porters. But when it comes to the way the rest of the world sees us, it all of that beer might as well be Budweiser. In the travel Web site Titanic's survey of 1,600 people from 80 countries, America received 23 percent of the vote for "makes the world's worst beer" and Budweiser received the most nominations for worst beer.
