      Please pardon the interruption; the following is a message from the unofficial emergency broadcast system. Considering the unsettling recent events involving a woman&#39;s sexual assault along the light rail in Uptown, I am turning my column into an after-school special entitled &quot;Nightlife Safety.&quot; Said woman was just walking a mere few blocks back to her car on a Tuesday night ... seems reasonable, right? Well, apparently not anymore. Raise your hand if you&#39;ve ever walked home or back to your

      It says something about Neko Case&#39;s footprint in the zeitgeist that she&#39;s been celebrated by punk rock champion and po-mo critic Greil Marcus (&quot;There&#39;s no sound richer than hers abroad in the land today&quot;) and been invited to play Garrison Keillor&#39;s suddenly-less-corny A Prairie Home Companion. And after the release last spring of another critically acclaimed record, Middle Cyclone, Case&#39;s career arc shows no sign of waning -- as her gig at the 1,300-seat Knight Theater on Nov. 18 would

      The Deal: Stalwarts from the &#39;90s return with a new singer, first studio effort in more than a decade. The Good: After the 2002 death of singer Layne Stayley, few would have guessed that the band would regroup. Guitarist Jerry Cantrell had been performing the band&#39;s songs for years on his solo tours, but the new formation sees Cantrell as the lead vocalist and the addition of William DuVall as a guitarist and vocalist. Cantrell has always been the band&#39;s

      The Deal: Fuel to ignite a new generation of punk dissidents. The Good: Jello Biafra hasn&#39;t changed much in the last 20 years &ndash; in sound or ideology. His latest band, the Guantanamo School of Medicine, takes up where the Dead Kennedys left off. Biafra still has the same quivering &quot;oh my god we&#39;re about to be eaten by Zombies&quot; hysterical horror movie delivery and the same hardcore political outlook. If you&#39;re looking for subtlety, you&#39;ve come to the wrong

      Remember your childhood when Halloween meant playing dress-up, going to haunted houses, trick-or-treating and visiting pumpkin patches to carve pumpkins and make homemade pumpkin pie? But now, as an adult, Halloween has transformed into &quot;Dress Like a Slut&quot; night. As in, when you ask a girl what she&#39;s dressed up as she&#39;ll respond with &quot;slutty (insert occupation here).&quot; I don&#39;t know who profits more from Halloween ... Morris Costumes or Victoria&#39;s Secret. But Halloween isn&#39;t just about tricking. For some,

      The &quot;hardest working man in show business&quot; label is often thrown around haphazardly. It was a title for James Brown, but it&#39;s also been used to describe countless musicians who make their way into a variety of bands and other projects and never seem to sleep a wink. Warren Haynes is one example that comes quickly to mind for his efforts with The Dead, Gov&#39;t Mule and The Allman Brothers Band. No matter who else may be on that list,

      For many people involved in the Charlotte music scene, the name Joshua Panda is a familiar one. He, of Humans, Autumn in August and Eyes of the Elders, packed up and headed north to Vermont not so long ago. Since living there, one can only imagine the musical havoc he&#39;s been causing up there -- and that&#39;s meant in the kindest sense of the word. Panda is an incredibly talented songwriter and musician who&#39;s got vocal character as much as

Like fellow travelers Extra Golden or the Ruby Suns (or even some Animal Collective), this L.A.-based co-op of up to a dozen members integrates African instruments, music and rhythms (Congolese, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Kenyan and Malian) with more traditional rock elements (Krautrock and &#39;80s dance) to create an often compelling hybrid.
