• Jimmy Eat World's Clarity Anniversary Show Impressive

  Luke Holwerda All week we've been sharing personal essays about Jimmy Eat World's Clarity, online and in print. Sadly, I don't have a Clarity story because I wasn't in to the Mesa emo/pop act until my college paper got an advance copy of Bleed American, the follow-up to Clarity, in July 2001. But man, oh man, did I love Bleed American. We played that record a few times every day in the college paper office, to the point that our ex-Deadhead newspaper adviser knew all the words.On September 10, 2

  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. He's using his iPhone and it keeps making weird sounds. You don't wanna disrupt John Legend,

Then, we had Jim Adkins make his very first DJ appearance (with an assist from William Fucking Reed) at our pop show.Now, No Age.
