Here's what you missed if you didn't pick up the print edition of City Paper this week.
From Scott Chasse's Mustache Bar
FEATURES!
  • Carolyn Huckabay interviews with visual artist Scott Chasse on his traveling exhibit "Mustache Bar." The '70s themed exhibit comes complete with an acrylic of Burt Reynold's 'stache, vintage stereo equipment and more.
COLUMNS!:
  • Peter Burwasser wants listeners to give Aretha Franklin a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T for crossing over into the classical realm of music.
  • Justin Bauer reads his way through Dennis Tafoya's The Wolves of Fairmount Park, Adam Langer's The Thieves of Manhattan and Don Winslow's Savages.
REVIEWS!:
  • Sam Adams gives Orlando an A -, applauding Tilda Swinton's flirtation with androgyny and the costume designs of Sandy Powell.
  • Movie shorts includes Mr. Adams on The Concert and Drew Lazor on The Other Guys.
And then there's...:
  • Kaleidoscope satiates every art lover's fancy from The Pod F. Tompkast, to human hair sculptures from Julius Scissor to Anonymous Theater, which is, according to Mark Cofta, "a Russian sleeper agent's theatrical wet dream."
  • Patrick Rapa urges us to give a listen or five to some homegrown talent from Turning Violet Violet.
  • Music Picks include Fol Chen and Here We Go Magic.
  • While the Art Picks scream Westward Ho! and Going Green
  • And don't forget to check out what's on the Agenda this week, complete with a women's empowerment film festival, snapshots of Philly in the summertime and a funnies convention.
