• Flier of the Week: The Necronauts

  This flier of the week comes to us by way of suggestion from New Times contributor Jose Gonzalez and, I have to say, it portends great things for The Necronauts' show at Trunkspace tomorrow. The lo-fi indie/punk band has a cool sound, full of grumbling, fuzzy guitars that often remind me of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club ("NIYWTLDOE") but with loopy guitar parts and gentle vocals from Billy Jee that are more like the what you'll hear coming out of the Pacific Northwest (Bullet"). And, hey, a poster

• Fiesta Mall Employee Writes Bomb Threats, Cops Say; Was Just Looking for Attention

  Image: Mesa PoliceJose Gonzalez It's another boring day working at Fiesta Mall. What to do for excitement? If you're Jose Gonzalez, a mall employee who's in a peck of trouble right now, you write a scary threat on a bathroom wall: A bomb will go off at 7:34 p.m. The time sounds too precise to be fake, right? Cops say Gonzalez reported the threat to management, who reported it to police just before 5 p.m. The cops come out, but nothing much happens. A little searching around. No evacuation or a

• Lo-Lo's Chicken and Waffles Hits the Streets

  Jose Gonzalez Larry "Lo-Lo" White lamps in front of the Lo-Lo MobileYesterday's memorial ceremony for Michael Jackson brought a lot of the memories of the man and the myth to the forefront.  One of our favorites was Magic Johnson's outing of The Gloved One's love for KFC by the bucket load.While the King of Pop relished The Colonel's secret recipe, we suspect that he'd change his tune if he got a mouthful of Larry "Lo-Lo" White's best bird, which is one of the cornerstones of Lo-Lo's

• Joe's Real BBQ: Summertime Secret

  Jose Gonzalez Joe's Real BBQ's summertime temptation - mac & cheese, potato salad, and bbq chicken sandwich.Summertime is on full blast, which means that we're definitely in the midst of barbecue season. To tell the truth, though, while there's nothing more satisfying than serving up juicy burgers, plump franks, and roasted veggies to pals, grilling under a hateful Phoenix sun can be less than ideal. (Not that we're complaining - true Phoenician rule #1: Don't bitch about the hea

• Cartel Coffee's Cardboard Art Keeps It Real (Short)

  Jose Gonzalez Let your kids run wild at your own risk! For about a year and a half, Cartel Coffee Lab in Tempe has been slinging some great java. They definitely have put a premium on serving up quality coffee out of their funky strip mall home. They're so crazy about coffee that they host occasional latte art showdowns between valley baristas.The laid back vibe of their digs appeal to us, too, and we always look forward to catching barista Melissa Marriott's cheeky signs.
