Lavender Vinyl

Talking to the founders of Ogden's latest record shop.
Parts of Ogden are starting to see a business renaissance. For years, the city has had a lot of its real estate messed with in various ways, just looking at the last year of Mojo's before it closed down as a prime example.

D.R.E.A.M. (Dance Rules Everything Around Me)

Utah Jazz Dancers and auditioning hopefuls take a new hip-hop direction.
Early Saturday morning some 100 hopeful women embarked on their journey toward Utah’s biggest stage for dancing: becoming a Utah Jazz Dancer. All the while, the Jazz Dancers’ coaches and organizational staff embarked on their own journey—a hip-hop one.

Monday Meal: Maltagliati Pasta with Summer Favas

Despite the amount of work and toil it takes to prepare fresh fava beans to eat, they are one of my favorite foods. Perhaps that's because they're limited to just a short window in summertime.

July Gallery Stroll: Matthew Choberka

A look at the works currently at CUAC for July
It was a salty kind of weekend for many of us with the heat beating down. Nearly reaching 100° in SLC, Friday night wasn't exactly what you would call the ideal weather for Gallery Stroll, but art lovers pressed on as galleries offered cool water at nearly every stop.

Local Releases: Live In Front Of Your Barber

Brand new music from VanLadyLove, Sam Burton, Sunsleeper and more
In the process of trying to beat the heat, many have taken to hanging out at night and playing Pokemon Go. But we hope in the midst of trying to catch them all, you duck in for one the releases shows happening this weekend.

Damn These Heels! 2016: Set The Thames On Fire

Talking with director Ben Charles Edwards before the festival.
The Utah Film Center's annual LGBTQIA+ film festival kicks off today, and you can read reviews for most of the feature films in this week's City Weekly. But before we head on out to the theaters this weekend, we'll prepare you for at least one film with a cool interview.

Movie Reviews: Ghostbusters, The Infiltrator, Tickled, The Wailing, Zero Days, Gurukulam

The week's highest-profile release involves fighting supernatural forces, but a unique Korean thriller also includes otherworldly threats, and a trio of very different documentaries fill out a diverse release slate in Utah theaters. The much-talked-about remake of Ghostbusters  (pictured) finds its new quartet of stars doing uniquely funny stuff when they're allowed to be unique, while cameos and callbacks to the original pull the movie down.

Wine Wednesday: A Summer Sipper from Alto Adige

If you saw my recent City Weekly article about the Alto Adige wines of Italy, you know I'm a big fan of them.  Italy's Alto Adige wine-growing region is comparatively small—about 13,000 acres.

Pale Horse Sound Studios

A chat with the founder of the Pleasant Grove studio.
Studios are branching out everywhere across the Wasatch Front—and with good reason, as our music scene has been seeing a steady rise in new bands looking to make quality albums. It's cool, yet very uncharacteristic of our scene, as a lot of musicians went the DIY route for so many years making music out of their basements, but now we're seeing people willing to spend their hard-earned cash on quality.

The Pipeline: Umbrella Corps, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

A mercenary searching for zombie secrets in Capcom's latest shooter.
If you're any fan of the zombie-killing genre of video games, there's at least one Resident Evil title that has a special place in your heart. Mine goes all the way back to Resident Evil 2, being given a choice in having a strong woman character who wasn't afraid of anything.
