• Snow Patrol is Perfectly Pleasant at The Clubhouse on Dec. 10

  I usually feel like I have to come up with the defining words about a show myself since, you know, I get paid to be there and all, but I really can't do any better than the simple statement made by my friend Ashley last night at Snow Patrol's Clubhouse show: "It's not that exciting, but it is pleasant."And, indeed, it wasn't that exciting -- there certainly wasn't as much energy as you'd expect for a sold out show at a smallish venue, featuring a band that'll be on late night television later

• Weezer Releases Holiday Songs

  Today Weezer digitally released six Christmas songs originally recorded for the recently released iPhone app "Tap Tap Revenge Christmas With Weezer.""For the first time ever a band recorded music for an app but demand was so great from non-iPhone users that the band decided to make the songs available at places like iTunes and Amazon.com. This also marks the first time Apple released App music on iTunes. The songs on the EP are: "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", "Silent Night", "O Holy Night", "T

• Long Live Logos Charm at Chyro Arts

  Sometimes you just need to see a little live music on a Friday night, and without much on the concert schedule this weekend (The Music of Led Zeppelin - A Rock Symphony! Smashmouth!) I found myself at Chyro Arts in Scottsdale to see San Diego's Long Live Logos. Turns out, they played a delighful set at the art space/dry concert venue for a chilled out crowd that made itself cozy on the room's couches while the band shared their brand of slick, mellow, piano-pop.

• Eagles of Death Metal Surprisingly Excellent at Martini Ranch

  I only had an iPhone to shoot with -- gimme a break here, folks.The last time Eagles of Death Metal were in town, their show was nearly unberable. Opening for The Hives at the Marquee, the band made their (now latest, then soon-to-be released) record Heart On sound so boring I almost gave up on them. "By the end, it was like watching some dude in a trucker hat and 'More Cowbell' T-shirt put the moves on your little sister," I wrote at the time.But, when Heart On finally came in the mail, it was

• The Game: Slower Than Baseball, the Excitement of Curling

  Jonathan McNamaraSee more shots in our The Game Slide Show.Even to those of us who aren't huge proponents of mainstream rap, The Game's second album, Doctor's Advocate, was hugely influential a few years back. Advocate was a note-perfect throwback to gangsta rap's halcyon days of the early '90s and quite possibly the best mainstream rap album since, well, pretty much since everyone started making these distinctions between "mainstream/commercial" rap and "indie/underground" hip-hop in the first

• iPhone Users Test AT&T at SxSW

  The music portion of SxSW starts today, but the interactive portion finished yesterday. One of the big stories out of interactive this past weekend was how ill-prepared AT&T was for the influx of iPhone-wielding hipsters and geeks descending on Austin. Tens of thousands of attendees are using their phones far more than usual to stay in touch with everyone else at the conference, meet up with co-workers and do the sort of networking that people who go to this kind of industry event do. Als

• Guest DJ Week on The Blaze: We're Loving It

  Around the New Times office we're really loving The Blaze's Guest DJ week (which I participated in yesterday). ASU's student radio station does this once a year, pulling in people like Murph from So Much Silence, Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World and, right now, our man Steve Chilton.But, seriously guys, do NOT text or call our contributor Steve Chilton while he's trying to do his guest DJ slot on The Blaze.

  The new iPhone is a lust-worthy gizmo to begin with, but if you're into food and wine, there are even more reasons to chuck your Crackberry and give in to Apple: the apps. One of the newest ones, WinePhD, was created by two locals, sommelier Brian Pierce and his business partner/co-inventor Dave Lauinger. Pierce, the food and beverage director at the Four Seasons in Scottsdale, brought his wealth of wine knowledge to creating the app, which lets users search a library of 60,000 w

  Urban Cookies vs. Cupcakes   It's been several years since the cupcake craze ignited. According to most food fad timelines, cupcakes should have jumped the shark by now, but they obviously haven't because there's still no shortage of frou-frou cupcake boutiques around the Valley. That's fine with us -- what could be better than a delicious little cake topped with rich icing? We bring you a bakery battle royale.  In One Corner: Urban Cookies 4711 N. 7th Street 602-451-433

• Dookie and the Peak of Profitable Cheap Plastic, Not Music or Culture

  One of the things I like most about New Times Music Editor Martin Cizmar is disagreeing with him. We've had some fun arguments and discussions on music, culture, the role of the press and even Eazy E. Which is why I felt compelled to write this post completely and unequivocally disagreeing with his latest column "An Ode To 1994: Green Day's Dookie and the Peak of Western Civilization." Dookie, while a milestone, was not in any way the peak of Western Civilization. It was the peak of one specific
