The Durty Crow is a newcomer among Fort Worth’s 7th Street bars, but it’s already digging its claws into the city. From the look of the bar’s sign, which proudly says “Est. 2010,” it plans to be around for a long time.

After opening in October, it quickly found a group of regulars who were attracted to its differ-ent style. General Manager Jason Godfrey said the bar did well in its infancy despite the lack of paid advertising.

“We were really surprised be-cause we didn’t know how it was going to be,” Godfrey said. “It was mainly word of mouth. People kept coming up and saying, ‘This place is really chill.’”

Marketing alumna Caroline Capobianco started working as a bartender when The Durty Crow opened. For her, the best part of the job is the clientele.

“My favorite thing about work-ing here is the people,” Capobianco said. “You meet a lot of people. It’s a good location, 7th Street is up and coming.”

Jack Proctor, who visits The Durty Crow at least twice a week, shared Capobianco’s view about 7th Street. He said the area and its regular visitors help The Durty Crow maintain a more relaxed at-mosphere.

“I think it’s in a good area,” Proc-tor said. “It’s just open. You can walk in and nobody’s grinding up on you.”

Aside from the bar counter, The Durty Crow features less than a dozen tables around the bar, leaving wide spaces for patrons and servers

to move around. The tables them-selves are propped on barrels, mix-ing older materials with a new style.

The bar is lit by hundreds of small bulbs hanging from the ceil-ing. In one corner, a couple of green bulbs give off a brighter glow. In keeping with the avian theme, small birdcages are suspended from the ceiling. Several busts, including one of Elvis Presley, line the shelves above the beer coolers.

For all its older stylistic influ-ences, The Durty Crow keeps a few modern attractions around. Cus-tomers spend their nights playing pool, lining up at the Golden Tee arcade machines or watching sports on the flat-screen TVs lining the walls.

“It’s a bar that has sports, but it’s not a sports bar,” Proctor said. “Girls can come in and not feel like it’s a guy place.”

His friend Lindsay Fuller offered her take on The Durty Crow’s scen-ery.

“They have nice decorations,” Fuller said. “The lighting’s cool. Dark,

but not too dark, and they have these nice contemporary tables.”

For some of the regulars, it was what was on The Durty Crow’s out-side that attracted them.

“It’s the windows,” daily patron Andy Ohlin said. “Really. When I came and saw the windows open, I knew it wasn’t going to be all smoky like most bars.

It’s the staff ’s attentiveness and dedication that bring Ohlin back so frequently.

“The bartenders here are really nice,” he said. “The people that work here control it really well. There are never any fights. It’s just a good spot.”

Fort worth native Carl Cordova visits often to have a drink and shoot pool with his friends. For him,

The Durty Crow is the best place to be in Fort Worth.

“Every time I come here, it’s just a lot more relaxed,” Cordova said. “People take their out-of-towner friends downtown, because it’s cool

or whatever. But this little corner is kind of out of the way. I think that makes it cooler.”

You know that feeling you get when you’re walking down a dark alley? That tingling fear that someone is watching you? Eyes dart, pace quickens as echoes of footsteps rapidly approach your rear. Funny thing is, when the pounce comes we act unsuspect-ing, as if we chose the dark cor-ridor as a shortcut to our des-tination, when in reality, it was the thrill of the unknown that brought us there.

As much as normative critics want to argue, the reason rap outfit Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All has risen the ranks rests solely on the shoulders of its biggest critics. How long can we give Grammys to the Black Eyed Peas and Soulja Boy without ex-pecting some sort of anarchist revolution to rise up the ranks?

The lack of diversity within rap only intensified the kinetic kick in the face the young col-lective unleashed upon the in-dustry. New York-based DJ Delz has released the mixtape Wolf Gang World Order, consisting of the group’s choicest cuts. Led by the hood hooligan Tyler, the Cre-ator, group members are 23 and younger, which makes their wiz-ened musings on life’s absurdities all the more disrupting.

From start to finish, the mix-tape is like scriptless smut, rhyme without reason, a total lack of respect to the established ruling class of rap. Observe “Bastard.” Tyler raps, “This is what the Devil plays before he goes to sleep, some food for thought, that’s food for death. Go ahead and f---ing eat, my father’s dead. Well I don’t know, we’ll never f---ing meet.”

Blurring their backgrounds is

part of the no-name game. With-out publicity confirming their origins, the group truly terrifies listeners because they take away your ability to rationalize their rhymes. Is Tyler’s absent father or his possible death the motive behind his tempered barbs? We don’t know, and that’s how he likes it.

Fellow group member Earl Sweatshirt echoes the punk am-bivalence in “Blade.” “Tad dif-ferent, mad smart, act ignorant. S--t I’ll pass a class when my dad starts giving s--ts.”

Don’t get it twisted. The group is more than simple spectacle. The group is composed of bril-liant lyricists and brings an en-ergy the scene has never seen before. Interesting questions are raised, as well. Throughout the mixtape, members drop blatant examples of violent and misogy-

nist lyrics, enough to make Tip-per Gore vomit up her brunch.

When Rihanna moans and vo-cally gyrates on “Love the Way You Lie” about domestic violence, she wins a Grammy. Because her shtick is safe and expected, no one has a meltdown. But when unknown group member Vince Staples raps about raping and murdering a sex-addicted “hitch-hiker hippie whore” the moral majority starts tying its nooses.

The group forces you to think about your own moral code, whether you’re bobbing your head at the beat or nodding in agreement to the lyrics. So next time you decide to take a short-cut down a dark and eerie alley, remember, you might run into a familiar face.

BY ALLEN BALDWINThe Shorthorn staff

Some students are looking forward to traveling, earning money and just plain having fun during their three months off from school.

Summer vacation starts May 16, and the fall 2011 se-mester begins Aug. 25.

The three months of sum-mer vacation can be used to work on a pet project. Me-chanical engineering fresh-man Johnny Ngo plans to build a guitar during summer break.

“I bought plans on the In-ternet that I’ll use to build it,” he said. “I’m going to draw the guitar on some software and put it in a machine that will cut the guitar out of wood at a shop where I work.”

Broadcast junior Kenzie Cox said she hopes to learn how to surf while she’s in Cali-fornia during the summer.

“I’ve never done it before and it’s my biggest fear,” she said. “I’m terrified of sharks, but I’m going to conquer my fear.”

Summer break can also be a time for students to get jobs to earn a little extra money. Industrial engineering senior Sandesh Ojha works with younger children at camps during the summer.

“The camps are recreation based, so we’re teaching kids to play basketball, paintball, rock climbing and swim-ming,” he said. “It’s fun. It feels like just playing around most of the time.”

The summer time plays host to many music tours and festivals, including the Elec-tric Daisy Carnival, which

undeclared freshman Patrick Smiley plans to attend.

“It starts at 4 p.m. and goes late into the night,” he said. “The atmosphere is re-ally fun, the lights, the bass, the people. It’s 102 degrees outside and there’s a lot of sweaty people dancing with no shirts on.”

Three months off of school give students a lot of time to travel.

International business ju-nior Lindsey Felder said, now that she’s 21, she plans to go to Las Vegas.

“My friends and I planned to go last summer, but we were 20 so there was no point,” she said. “I want to go to a cabaret show and I want to gamble. I want to learn how to play blackjack and roulette so I can win some money for tuition.”

Business marketing ju-nior Mike Nkollo will travel to New York City during the summer.

“I would like to go to Madison Square Garden and maybe see a concert,” he said. “I definitely want to go to a Yankee’s game. I’m a baseball fan and that would be a cool experience.”

During the break, psy-chology sophomore William Shotwell will check out South Padre, where he plans to go scuba diving and relax on the beach.

“I’m looking forward to getting down there, relaxing and having fun,” he said. “I just want to get out of Arling-ton and forget about school for a little bit.”

Long before this tech-savvy generation used iPods, MP3s and iTunes to listen to the latest jams, people obsessed about vinyl.

At Doc’s Records and Vintage in Fort Worth, vinyl junkies, vin-tage aficionados and music lovers can find classic oldies or Top 40s hits to spin, groovy threads to wear and a variety of old-school memorabilia.

In operation for five years, Doc’s is fairly new to the record-store industry. The store has been at its current location for the past two years. Despite being a rookie, regular customers frequent the store.

Fort Worth resident Blair Embry thinks of her Tommy James and the Shondells record as a prized possession and favorite record she purchased from the store.

“This is a musical heaven,” she said. “I’m here pretty often, and I love pretty much everything in here. From the records to the cas-settes and clothes, it’s awesome because it’s so rare to find a store like this these days.”

Crates of records line the walls and fill the center of the store. Or-ganized and sectioned off by genre and artist, finding that Bad Brains or classic Ray Charles album isn’t a grueling search.

“I was looking up vintage shops in search of old records of Tammy Wynette for my mother for Moth-er’s Day, and this store came up,” customer Emily Ford said. “I was so happy with this find, and I love that it combines vintage clothing and accessories with the records. You’ll definitely find things here that you wouldn’t anywhere else.”

The store also carries modern records. The newest Panda Bear album brought Dallas resident Kenny McKee to the store.

“The store’s great because you can find gems from any era,” he

said. “This new Panda Bear record is sexy. I’m going to play it while kicking it with my girl tonight.”

Sitting on a shelf above the records, next to a vintage Rolling Stones promo cardboard stand up and more rare pop-culture collect-ibles from the past, is a television set from 1976. An old jukebox sits in one of the store’s three ad-ditional rooms, along with piles of music books and vintage issues of Spin and Ebony magazines.

Another room is dedicated to posters and framed 8-inch-by-10-inch glossies of icons and bands dating back to the 1920s. The room also houses dolls and ac-tion figures, including I Dream of Genie Barbies and game col-lectibles such as Star Trek board games.

“There’s just tons of awesome, weird and bizarre things in here on top of the good records,” man-ager Jenkins Boyd said. “This is a place that you probably find something different every time you come.”

The summer is a time to enjoy the season’s eye candy. Beautiful bodies and botanical wonders are a visual feast during the year’s warmest months. The world’s most powerful movie studios are also vying for your attention by unleashing a horde of big-bud-get movies. It’s easy to overlook the little gems that sneak in and out of independent theaters in limited runs.

Pulse is making sure moviegoers’ priorities are set straight with a list of the best art films coming out this year. Expect character actors, black comedies and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to be on everyone’s minds with his twisted, dark portrayal of tormented sociopath in Hesher.
