Ke$ha expands unique style on ‘Warrior’ By ALEXANDRIA ETHRIDGE

International dance-pop artist Ke$ha is like a burnout little sister who borrows money from your parents for textbooks and spends it on cigarettes and beer. She does, however, occasionally get her act together, wash her hair, show up for dinner on time and make you forget about all of the times she passed out on the front lawn or had to be picked up from the police station. “Warrior,” the star’s latest album, is the musical manifestation of just that. The deluxe version of the record contains no fewer than 16 songs, most of which promote the reckless lifestyle of Ke$ha’s grunge-

Chubby Mary’s veal cutlet and broccoli rabe sandwich is a menu highlight. “Being born in Brooklyn and growing up in Staten Island, there were great hero shops everywhere,” Garcia said. “I couldn’t really find spots in the East Village or let alone in Manhattan that served these great

traditional Italian-style heroes.” Along with Basille, Garcia developed the idea for a “fastfood Italian sandwich concept,” and Chubby Mary’s was born.
