Bravo’s Top Chef and the Likability of Artists

Last updated on: February 28, 2013 at 7:26 am By Geoffrey Reiter

Yesterday Kristen Kish beat Brooke Williamson on the season 10 finale of Bravo’s popular and award-winning reality cooking competition Top Chef. Kish’s victory was gratifying for series fans who have lamented the fact that the show had awarded top honors to a female contestant only once before in the previous nine seasons; but it also capped a final set of episodes in which the drama has been almost entirely related directly to the quality of the food being cooked. Over the past month,... Read more

God and Country Music: Ivan & Alyosha

Last updated on: February 27, 2013 at 8:55 am By Nick Rynerson

Each week in God and Country Music, Nick Rynerson gives country music a chance and examines the world of Americana, folk, alt-country, and popular country music. Yesterday, Seattle folk-pop band Ivan & Alyosha released their debut album, All the Times We’ve Had. Now, I’ve got to confess, I am hooked on this band right now so everything I say is in the context of “gushing fan.” However, Ivan & Alyosha have something special to offer the American music scene. And with... Read more
