Here's what you'll miss if you don't pick up a City Paper this week: FEATURES!

Not technically in the A&E section is Patrick Rapa's stellar piece on U.S. Girls, helmed by Powelton Village-dwelling lo-fi songstress Meghan Remy, who very recently got bipedal on stage.
Molly Eichel and her staff of critics tackle the Philadelphia Film Society's free mini-fest, happening this weekend at Prince Music Theater. She's got reviews of eight out of 11 films, including The Joneses, Looking for Eric and The Square. Did we mention this is free?
Bruce Walsh makes sense of a complicated concept for visual art: Jebney Lewis and co.'s "Bifurcation, Hysteresis, Catastrophe," opening tonight at Nexus Foundation. Basically it's sculpture about math about global warming, but it's also much more than that.

COLUMNS!

M.J. Fine does it again — this week she Reconsiders Jakob Dylan of Wallflowers fame. Luckily, the younger Dylan isn't just mooching off his dad's fame.
Robin Rice Re:Views a show at the University City Arts League: Abstractionist Emil Baumann, whose paintings have earned him the title "outsider artist," though Robin doesn't necessarily agree.

REVIEWS!

Sam Adams snacks on Mid-August Lunch for this week's Flick Pick, calling it both an "evanescent pleasure" and "almost purposefully slight."
Did we mention we reviewed eight out of 11 PFS mini-fest films?
Molly Eichel gives Doors documentary When You're Strange its due, shouting out the skill of director Tom DiCillo but wishing he let his subjects do their own talking (the still-alive ones, anyway).
Movie Shorts on Date Night, The Eclipse and The Greatest

AND THEN THERE'S ...

Kaleidoscope quick hits on The African Queen, Theatre Horizon's Fat Pig, Pi Lam's Human Barbecue and Justified
Arts Picks on Azuka Theatre's Nerve and People's Light's Stretch (A Fantasia)
Music Picks on Baby Dee, Paper Bird, Aloha, tUnE-yArDs, Univox, Philly Gumbo, Rocky Votolato and Jotto
The Agenda is full of goodies this week, too, including Icepack, a feature on quilting superstar Kaffe Fassett, a ton of Picks, DJ Nights, and Felicia D'Ambrosio's twice-monthly fashion column, Shopping Spree.
