Who is Sylvia? Well, she's a goat. There are no spoilers there. Edward Albee's play is titled The Goat or Who is Sylvia? So I'll just lay that out. Sylvia is the goat. And Christopher Cantrell plays Martin, and Martin is the man, and the man is having sex with the

It's a new week, which means it's time for a new installment of Bobble Tiki's South Sound music news and notes column. Without further ado, let's get rolling... Bobble Tiki's not certain, but he suspects Hell has officially frozen over. Or, at the very least, there's frost at Glen Frey's house.

Anton Chekhov once famously opined, "If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there." In Henrik Ibsen's 1890 classic Hedda Gabler, a pair of loaded pistols have indeed been introduced into the

Now, you listen here, hombre. You and me, we done rode through all that "talk like a pirate" bosh, but all that balled-up palaver didn't hold a candle to talkin' like a cowboy. And you might think such frontier lingo wouldn't rightly fit into the flannel-mouthed Elizabethan purty-talk of one
