 Worried that the New Times Summer of Sound: Experimental/Eclectic show is no bang for your five bucks? Then let us break it down for you:

Andrew Jackson Jihad: Once before a gig at a family bookstore, lead singer Sean... More >> |

| Cute Is What We Aim For The Clubhouse Music Venue | Fri., July 18, 6:30pm | Tempe | |
 Cute Is What We Aim For is likely the perfect 21st century pop band. Almost purpose-built for short attention span marketing campaigns, the four gents in CIWWAF focus so heavily on pop sheen, hooks, and scene-ster touchstones that it's often difficult to figure out just what the sum of the...

| Dame Stella Rimington Poisoned Pen | Fri., July 18, 7:00pm | Central Scottsdale | |
 Though we hate to generalize, we must in the case of those bodice-ripping potboilers called suspense novels. Generally speaking, they suck.
Ours is not a time of giants like Greene, Hammett, Cain, and du Maurier. It’s an age of runts like Ludlum, Koontz, Follett, and Perry. Blah.
As a... More >> |

| expansion :: fridays feat. John Beltran Bar Smith | Fri., July 18, 9:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 What can you expect from Ubiquity Records artist and badass producer John Beltran’s first-ever performance out this way? Everything. You see, one never knows where a Beltran cut will meander. Some tunes lean toward a quiet-storm chill-out factor inspired by Radiohead’s Nigel Godrich... More >> |

| Yin Friday Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art | Fri., July 18, 6:00pm-8:30pm | Central Scottsdale | |
 Work headaches, traffic snarls, unresolved personal issues. If you’re like us, you’ve got Yang coming out of your butt, so maybe it’s time we all took a long, cleansing breath and headed to Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art for Yin Friday.
SMoCA’s Yin event is, not... More >> |

| “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition” Arizona Science Center | Daily from Sat., June 7 until Sun., October 26, 10:00am-5:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 We're pretty sure that the prototypical fantasy geek and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis never imagined that his acclaimed children's series The Chronicles of Narnia would spawn something as scary-sounding as an "immersive marketing experience." So trust it to late capitalism to concoct such a... More >> |

| “The Grid II: Documenting Phoenix Through the Lens” Trunk Space |
Fri., July 18, 6:00pm-9:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 As most people either love Phoenix or loathe it, so it is with Phoenix’s gridlike nature. Oh, sure, there are a couple of roads that shamble drunkenly outside the lines – Galvin Parkway and the Squaw Peak Parkway, or whatever it’s now politically correctly called – but for... More >> |

| Bug Live Theatre Workshop |
Fri., July 18, 10:30pm more dates/times |
Outside the Valley | |
 A couple years back, this "bloody-disgusting love story" from playwright Tracy Letts was made into a feature film directed by William Friedkin and starring Ashley Judd and Harry Connick Jr. It was a squirmer -- pretty tough for even hardened gore-hounds to sit through. So will this live version... More >> |

| Arizona Diamondbacks Family Fridays Chase Field |
Fri., July 18 more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 If you’re like us, you loathe and despise the captive-audience price-gouging that goes on at sports arenas. Five or six bucks for a dog? Eight or nine for a brew? Hell, you’ll only shell out $5 for a sixer and another buck for the wiener at the neighborhood Circle K. The whole... More >> |

| Arizona Duck (DUKW) Tour Pleasant Harbor Marina at Lake Pleasant |
Daily, 10:00am more dates/times |
Peoria | |
 Military intelligence, as the old saw goes, is an oxymoron. But the dudes in khaki got it right when they introduced the odd amphibious vehicle called the DUKW during WWII. The bastard spawn of a U-boat and a Hummer helped American troops survive beach attacks like Normandy by transporting... More >> |

| "Branded and on Display" Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 14 until Sun., September 21 | Central Scottsdale | |
 It’s gotten so we don’t even see them, the carefully placed product endorsements that are part of everyday life. On an episode of American Idol, Simon Cowell raises to his lips a monstrous neon tumbler emblazoned with the Coca-Cola logo, and what we see is a man taking a drink. Our... More >> |

| Castles -n- Coasters Summer Fun Days Castles -n- Coasters | Daily from Thu., July 3 until Mon., September 1 | North Phoenix | |
 The Castles -n- Coasters Summer Fun Days promotion is a smoking deal -- if you don’t spontaneously combust. We’re just tossin’ out a caveat emptor, ’cause you should know up front that your $15 buys unlimited rides on the theme park’s attractions, plus a free round of... More >> |

| "Chado Ralph Rucci" Phoenix Art Museum | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., March 21 until Sun., August 17 | Central Phoenix | |
 High fashion in the Phoenix area is still associated with statements like, "Why, yes, I did get this at Macy's." In this town, you're more likely to be judged by the overall hue and breadth of your tan than for your taste in Balenciaga footwear. This may change some when Barney's opens in... More >> |

| "Early Phoenix: A Photographic Exhibit of Historic Downtown Phoenix" Rosson House Museum | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., June 6 until Sun., September 28 | Central Phoenix | |
 Much of what once made it bustling and lovely to look at is gone, but the shadow of downtown Phoenix casts a long memory. It’s a dark shadow filled with pretty sites: The San Carlos Hotel on Central Avenue, with its street-front portico and its swoopy neon sign; the Henry Nace-designed... More >> |

| "Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight" Arizona Museum of Natural History |
Every week Sunday from Sun., March 2 until Sun., September 28, 1:00pm-5:00pm more dates/times |

 Gigantic, pissed-off chickens with teeth. That’s the impression created by the imposing models on display in the “Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight” exhibit. After you check out these dentally impressive fowl, run for your life to Arizona Science Center and marvel at... More >> |

| "Framed by Appearance: New Prints by Kathryn Maxwell" Mesa Contemporary Arts | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., April 25 until Sun., August 3 | Mesa | |
 After a night of ego-tronic drinking, you wake up in a foreign bed, locking eyes with an unfamiliar woman. The beauty you followed home yesterday night was real cream, but this basement doppelgänger arouses nothing but your gag reflexes. Nevertheless, you suppress the urge to shit-n-bail... More >> |

| “Human & Animal Grossology” Arizona Science Center | Daily from Sat., May 24 until Mon., September 1 | Central Phoenix | |
 A friend of ours freaks out when he realizes the molecules he's inhaling have been inside our lungs, too. You other wusses better check out “Human & Animal Grossology” at Arizona Science Center beginning Saturday, May 24, and get desensitized to all the emissions and secretions of us... More >> |

Every week Saturday from Sat., July 12 until Wed., August 6, 10:00am-1:00pm more dates/times |
East Phoenix | |
 We’re all for hybrid cars and green cleaners, but if we have to look at one more painting exploring the dangers of deforestation, we’re gonna blow chunks. What’s next -- artists go PETA on our asses, hurling red tree sap at anyone not using recycled paper?
At first glance,... More >> |

| Mark Mothersbaugh’s “Beautiful Mutants” Perihelion Arts |
Fri., July 18, 6:00pm-10:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 Mark Mothersbaugh lives a symmetrical life of wild extremes.
Consider:
• He’s was born and still lives in Akron, Ohio – all-American birthplace of the rubber tire, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the soap-box derby – but made his name as frontman for the band Devo, which... More >> |

| "Mass Consumption" Mesa Contemporary Arts | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., June 13 until Sun., August 10 | Mesa | |
 What’s one of our favorite things about Mesa Contemporary Arts besides the kickass exhibits? The gallery's sheer size, which makes it the perfect fit for "Mass Consumption," a show that associate curator Tiffany Fairall describes (in a ginormous nutshell) as "everything about popular... More >> |

| "Masters of Illusion: Unveiling the Mystery of Trompe l'Oeil" Tempe Center for the Arts | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., May 3 until Sat., August 2 | Tempe | |
 The greatest fakers in the art world aren’t forgers, wanna-bes, or even drones churning out 20 Mona Lisas a day for oil-painting stores. They’re practitioners of trompe l’oeil. French for “fool the eye,” the art style was first used in ancient Greece, where landscape... More >> |

| Neil Gillingham's "Henry" five15 Gallery |
Every week Friday from Fri., July 4 until Fri., July 25, 5:00pm-9:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 When you’re 6 years old and have an imaginary friend, you get a roll of the eyes and a pat on the head. If you’re 30, you get a rubber room and a dose of anti-psychotics.
Luckily for Neil Gillingham, artists get a free pass when it comes to having pretend pals at any age. After... More >> |

| "No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" Phoenix Art Museum | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Tue., July 8 until Sun., September 14 | Central Phoenix | |
 Phoenix Art Museum has always had a thing for Asian art. Its permanent collection of Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian artworks is not only massive, but also well-regarded. The "No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" exhibit is another amazing gem in PAM’s new series... More >> |

| "NOW: Selections From the Ovitz Family Collection" ASU Art Museum at Nelson Fine Arts Center | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 7 until Sun., September 28 | Tempe | |
 Onetime Hollywood strongman Michael Ovitz used to make news for all the wrong reasons: voicing paranoiac slurs about the “gay mafia,” causing schisms in the Mickey Mouse fantasy factory during his star-crossed Disney stint, and manhandling the help as documented in Suzanne... More >> |

| Salt River Tubing & Recreation Salt River Tubing & Recreation | Daily from Sat., May 3 until Tue., September 30, 9:00am-7:00pm | Mesa | |
 Rednecks tend to be attracted to large bodies of water. Don’t believe us? How else to explain the “Redneck Riviera” spanning the area from Mobile, Alabama, to the Emerald Coast near Apalachicola, Florida?
Though we live in the desert, that doesn’t mean our state is running... More >> |
