Here's your Metro Weekly Sneak Peek for Jan. 10, 2008.

COVER STORY | Beam Me Out!
Floating through space -- further from us than Mars, but not so far as Jupiter -- there is a large piece of rock making its perpetual rounds. Since late 2007, this asteroid has carried a name beyond a sterile label of numbers and letters. About 5 miles in diameter, "7307 Takei" makes its home in the heavens where no one has gone before. In fiction, however, the bounds of our solar system would have been as near as the backyard for Hikaru Sulu of the iconic Star Trek franchise. But for the actor behind Sulu, George Takei, there has been plenty of new territory to discover lately right here on Earth.

ARTS SPOTLIGHT | Rising Star
"I didn't used to write love songs, but I can't avoid it these days," Tom Goss says of tracks that appear on his latest effort, Rise. This time around, Goss swapped quantity with quality, releasing fewer tracks produced at higher quality. By Yusef Najafi. Photography by Todd Franson.

STAGE | Tom Avila
As a musical, Ella feels vague, ephemeral and loosely
finished; The Brothers Size packs huge emotional punch.

MUSIC | Doug Rule
An influence and precursor to Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones is a great artist worth getting to know on her own terms.

Plus: Out On the Town arts calendar.
