• The Worst Lyrics of 2008: NCAA-Style Showdown

  And now it's time for the "I love you like a fat kid loves cake" memorial Worst Lyrics of 2008, March Madness-style tournament, this year a terrifying mélange of appalling oral-sex requests, bargain-bin philosophies, grammatical atrocities, and cringe-inducing pillow talk. To elevate the drama, I provided a trusted colleague with the 16 artists who qualified and had him assign seeds--Lil Wayne you expect to go deep into a showdown like this, but Lucinda Williams? Some fantastic match-ups result

• Kanye West, Ludacris, and Nickelback are Part of What's Selling at Zia Record Exchange in Phoenix

  The "Louis Vuitton Don" is moving units down at Zia Record Exchange. Although Kanye West's emotionally-wrought 808s & Heartbreak didn't prove as big a smash with most fans and critics as his previous discs, it's still a quality album (our music editor Martin Cizmar considers it one his faves of 2008) that's continues to chart pretty damn high on the Billboard charts. It's also flying off the shelves at the north Phoenix location of Zia Record Exchange, 2510 West Thunderbird Road, where it

• Setting Chad Kroeger's Hair On Fire: An Evening with Fucked Up

  Fucked Up's Father Damian embraces the microphone cordToronto punk rock outfit Fucked Up graced the stage Tuesday night at downtown Phoenix art gallery PHiX, bringing with them their subdued, docile tones and serene, lucid vocals. Good one, right? Yeah, I had you going -- admit it. Fucked Up absolutely slayed the crowd on Tuesday, a respectable sized crowd for it being a Tuesday night. Who knows if they were there to see the band or if they were there to get sweaty and run into each other. Eithe

• Creed Reunites, Plans to Rock Glendale

  Scott Stapp: apparently quite sad that Creed is getting back togetherIn what has to be the biggest music news since the band formed in 1995, Creed has reunited. All four members are back at it, including lead singer/public drunkard Scott Stapp, since they parted ways in 2004. But wait, the good news doesn't stop there, Valley rock fans. That's right, Creed has planned a reunion tour that will make its way through Glendale, no doubt with arms wide open (zing!). That show will be Tuesday, Septembe

• Year of the Moth Joins Variety of Bands at Allweask.org Fundraiser

  For Phoenix rock band Year of the Moth, being in a band isn't about getting signed to a label and becoming Nickelback-scale famous. It's all about playing music the group members stand behind, and that's what the band attributes to the support they've felt in the local scene. www.myspace.com/yearofthemoth​"For the first time of all the bands we've played in, we were like, 'Let's play music for ourselves," says vocalist/guitarist Kevin Dye.The band consists of longtime musicians and has
