Beaches, Jeff Tweedy and Myspace: A Q&A with Twin Forks

Former (for now) Dashboard Confessional frontman Chris Carrabba is appearing at 1982 Bar on July 24 with his latest project, a seven-person folk-rock outfit called Twin Forks. Just like Dashboard Confessional, you’ll want to belt their songs as you drive with the windows down — but for different reasons. Where Dashboard songs spoke of vulnerability edged with mid-2000s emo self-consciousness, Twin Forks sheds those feelings in favor of folksy, uptempo good times. And yes, there’s even some whistling.

Recipe titles: Does a recipe by any other name taste as good?

The title of a recipe gives the first impression of the dish and the author. Recipe titles are printed in special, large type, memorable as the official label. The title can be simply a word, “Oatmeal,” a more elaborate phrase, “Bountiful Blueberry Pie with Spiced Whipped Cream,” or almost a paragraph, a format more typical of earlier recipe titles. One from 1608: “To Make a Walnut, That When you Cracke It, You Shall Find Biskets, and Carrawayes in It, Or a Prettie Posey Written.”

However, has their growing popularity potentially compromised the performances of the artists?
