Let your gaze linger on the '70s-tastic porn-style mustache on Nick Cave.

There are other blogs on this site than just the ones below. Here's how to find them.

Backbeat Online delivers sad news about the death of Sharon Rawles, a beloved mainstay on the local music scene. On the brighter side, there's a review of a concert starring Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds -- an act that's seldom been accused of representing the brighter side.

More content comes courtesy of Cafe Society, our food and dining blog. Get breaking news from the Sullivan restaurant empire -- the closure of Nine75 and Ocean. There's better news in regard to 8 Rivers, which has finally scheduled an opening date. And Milking It, our cyber-salute to cold cereal, takes on Strawberry Chex. This fruit isn't worth the labor. -- Michael Roberts
