ARIES (March 21-April 19) "There's one ultimate goal during sex," says Cosmopolitan magazine, a renowned source of erotic guidance for women. That is "to be as sensually stimulated as possible." I don't quite agree with that assessment. Having emotionally pleasing fun should also be an important con...

Sup, More-lando? Still pedal to the metal, I see. Keep it up. The beat As psyched as I was to see Baltimore dream-pop diamond Beach House perform (Oct. 11, Hard Rock Live), I was concerned about how their highly impressionistic sound and presentation would translate in such a big hall. But the... Thu, 21 Oct 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.orlandoweekly.com/artsculture/story.asp?id=14378 Live Active Cultures by Seth Kubersky. James Brown is gone, but if they ever crown the Hardest Working Musician In Orlando Show Business, John deHaas has to be in the running. Have you been to the Treasure Tavern dinner show near I-Drive? DeHaas is the music director there five nights a week. Seen Michael Wanzie's production of [title o...

If city council was a color, this week's mind meld would have been a peppy pink. Several commissioners donned pink T-shirts (over their ties and under their blazers, attractively) in recognition of "Pinktober," a celebration of the sadness that is breast cancer. Eek. Mayor Buddy Dyer made a cringe-... Thu, 21 Oct 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.orlandoweekly.com/columns/story.asp?id=14368 Free Will Astrology by Rob Brezsny. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Until recently, no cricket had ever been observed pollinating a flower. All the evidence showed, in fact, that crickets don't help flowers – they devour them. Then one night last January on the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, researchers discovered that the species...

You know that look on adog'sface when its head's hanging out the window of a speeding car – peeled back lips flapping and all stupid smiles? That's me during this unprecedented whirlwind of concerts. Please tell me you're getting in on some of this. The beat Because of their flat recordings, I'v... Thu, 14 Oct 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.orlandoweekly.com/artsculture/story.asp?id=14362 Live Active Cultures by Seth Kubersky. I don't often say this, but you almost have to feel sorry for Disney. (Seriously, stop laughing.) Think about it: All summer long, while Mouse managers were struggling mightily (along with the rest of the travel industry) to maintain profit margins, competitors at Universal were bucking economic tre...

Guns are good Read your Sept. 30 article "Shoot first, ask questions later."  So, with more than a million concealed- carry permits issued in the state of Florida since the program started, and less than one tenth of one percent suspended or revoked, you think concealed carry should be done away...

There was a dewy suppleness about this week's morning-after meeting, a palpable electrical charge accompanied by sly winks, sweet scents and creased mouth corners; tangles of figurative clothes – or tax dollars – may have been littered across broken civic champagne bottles, but in the end it was wor... Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.orlandoweekly.com/columns/story.asp?id=14344 Free Will Astrology by Rob Brezsny. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Much of the reader mail I receive is friendly. But now and then I'll get a message like this: "I've followed your horoscopes with pleasure for years. But I must say, you've really lost it lately. I can't stand the garbage you've been slinging. What happened to you?" My resp... Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.orlandoweekly.com/columns/story.asp?id=14342 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.orlandoweekly.com/music/story.asp?id=14341 This Little Underground by Bao Le-Huu. There's really not much more to say about the fourth annual femme-centric ELLA Fest (Oct. 1-3, Orlando Brewing) that I haven't already said, mainly because little has changed in its outlook. With a few exceptions, the talent was more or less the same in terms of caliber and edge. And in quite a few...

Whoever coined the cliché "the more the merrier" never visited Orlando's haunted attractions. Last week, I praised Uni-versal's 20th anniversary Halloween Horror Nights, and while I stand by my assessment, it's impossible to ignore the negative impact of the overwhelming crowds that Universal pulls...

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Nine-year-old Fatima Santos told the San Francisco Chronicle her opinions about the movie Toy Story: "If I had to make a movie like this, I would make it funnier. I would make Mr. Potato Head look funnier than he already does. I would put his hair on his legs, his shoes on...

No foreplay this week. Let's get busy. The beat The big-shot feature for the latest Southern Fried Sunday was the Dex Romweber Duo (Sept. 19, Copper Rocket). If you don't know Dex, you can probably bet that he's a hero to some of your own musical heroes. A huge role model to Jack White, the form...

After Universal's two decades  of building the tourism calendar's unprofitable dead zone into a monstrously successful gorehound magnet, I half-expected the company to rest on its moneybags for All Hallow's Eve. After the exhausting Harry Potter opening, it would be understandable if the creative... Thu, 30 Sep 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.orlandoweekly.com/columns/story.asp?id=14325 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.orlandoweekly.com/columns/story.asp?id=14324 Council Watch by Billy Manes. Appropriately enough, it was all about watching things at this week's civic slumber party. Lining the back walls of the council chambers were the so-called "big dogs" of local law enforcement staring blank cop stares at the gathered minions. "I think we have pretty good security at today's meeting,"... Thu, 30 Sep 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.orlandoweekly.com/columns/story.asp?id=14322 Free Will Astrology by Rob Brezsny. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh is a person whose ideas and attitudes repel me. But in the dream I had last night, I enjoyed hanging out with him. He was affable and humorous. We had several fun adventures together. Here's how I interpret the dream: It doesn't neces...

R.I.P., Sunday Night Vinyl and Sunday Morning Coming Down. The classic alternative and alt-country radio shows, respectively, were the two venerable programs that were the most tragic casualties of Real Radio's (WTKS 104.1 FM) completely regressive overhaul of their weekend music format. Now, instea...

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When teen pop star Miley Cyrus appeared on David Letterman's late-night TV talk show, band leader Paul Schaffer asked her if she lip-syncs to prerecorded music during her performances. Miley replied that no, she never fakes it. For evidence, she said, anyone could go watch...
