  KC Star rock critic Tim Finn comes back from an absence and pens this absolutely fantastic post about his late-wife, KC Star food critic Lauren Chapin.

• Concert Review: Ryan Adams and the Cardinals at the Uptown

  Scott SpychalskiClick on photo for slide show. Much like the band's frontman, Ryan Adams, himself, Friday night's sold-out Cardinals show at the Uptown was short, dark and depressing.

  ​ It's getting hard to keep track of all the cancellations/postponements of late. First of all, more on that Passion Pit thing. The Star's Tim Finn offers a thoughtful, firsthand account of yesterday evening's apparently averted fiasco: But it also seems reasonable for the venue to get a chance to remedy the situation, which is what the Beaumont/Back Yard did. The show went on and the stage was safe enough for the three other bands that played: Audiovox and the Roman Numerals, two loc
