Popular pub to get new look, life

Many at UNM may not have noticed the quiet closure of Sprockets Pub, a bar across Central Avenue from UNM last summer. However, many have surely noticed the current gutting of the former popular student bar at 2216 Central Ave. SE. The location, which was the Fat Chance Bar & Grill before being rechristened Sprockets, is now being converted into a new bar and restaurant that has not yet been named.

Red Earth's sound a 'tribal stew'

Red Earth - Ira Wilson (voice/guitar) and Jeff Duneman (drums) responding to an e-mail interview. 1) Describe your sound. It's "Tribal Stew." Imagine Fishbone, Metallica, Bob Marley, The Meters, Chico Science & Nacao Zumbi, Johnny Cash, Spook & the Guay, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Reverend Horton Heat, XIT, James Brown and Sly Stone mashed together by some mutton-eating rez kid who became a world-traveler, speaking Portuguese and Indin' together in a strange but damn tasty jambalaya.

COLUMN: Pumpkins quirky, interesting

by Ben Everett Columbia Daily Spectator U-Wire I tried free-associating on the word "pumpkin" this morning, and came up with the following: necromancy, lust, good clean fun, muffins. Weird. But also fitting - pumpkins are strange things. After all, what other fruit takes the pan-American spotlight only two days every year, first as a festive lantern, then as a festive pie? To boot, pumpkins tend to pop up in fairy tales, transmogrified into bulbous carriages or blown up to the size of Volkswagens.
