THURSDAY, APRIL 25 MUSIC–With beats cribbed from parallel worlds and more flow than the Concord, Antipop Consortium’s arty-smarty hiphop will pop open your brain. This is some of the freshest stuff around–who else mixes ping-pong beats with storm trooper funk and genius opera divas? JS See Music section (pg 19). Berbati’s Pan, 231 SW Ankeny, […]

Eccentric Neighborhood
Art Review
Eccentric Neighborhood Tyson Grumm Froelick Gallery, 222-1142 Through April 27 Eccentric Neighborhood is a collection of paintings as colorful and imaginative as a children’s book.
