So what exactly is birthed from the funk-steeped grooves and sharp wordplay of producer, songwriter and hip-hop wunderkind Tom Shimura (known to the world as Lyrics Born)? How about some rhymes that will make you think, laugh, and shake your ass all at the same time? How about a less self-aggrandizing version of Eminem who understands that the world doesn't necessarily revolve around him? How about a hip-hop/dancefloor legend in the making who pays such close…

The Mirror Pool at Kleinhans, the restored circles at Porter and West Ferry, the renovated/re-used churches, the bike path, the 'Circle-House'/Birge Mansion. These are just a few of the recent projects that have propelled Richmond Avenue into the 'city-spotlight' category as of late. Events such as the Garden Walk have cast a renewed light on Richmond. All summer long painting ladders were predominant fixtures on many of the old houses.

As a long time Buffalo resident, and now a unhappy Los Angeles resident, I find the BR website summing up exactly what I miss about Buffalo, and why I want to move back. I came out here to work in the film industry, and while I have had my share of good fortune, this area is ultimately not for me. My girlfriend has another year of school out here, so I have decided to stick it out another year, but was wondering if there was anyway that I could help contribute …

Inspired by the Sex Pistols' first Northern England date (in 1976, at Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall, a pivotal event memorialized in the film 24 Hour Party People), guitarist Bernard Sumner and bass player Peter Hook formed legendary British post-punk group Joy Division, and recruited troubled singer Ian Curtis. Famous for the dark intensity of its performances, Joy Division was, by 1980, England's hottest band, destined to influence countless artists throughout the 80s, 90s and up to today. Unfortunately, the band's dark persona was sealed in myth when Ian Curtis hung himself in May, 1980. Subsequently, the alternative rock anthem "Love Will Tear Us Apart" reached UK #13 and the group's new album, Closer, reached UK #6.
