: Phoenix, Arizona gets rather warm during the summer months.Is this a good reason to avoid scheduling an outdoor concert at a minor league ballpark in suburban Glendale for mid-August? Probably. But, if such a concert a concert is scheduled — as Bob Dylan did, by planning to play the Camelback…

There are countless reasons why folks move to the PHX: new jobs, lower cost of living, uh…hotter women. DJ mig50 came here because of the Shizz. The 26-year-old musician became a die-hard member of the local music discussion board while living in Missouri and decided to relocate to Phoenix in…
We’re not sure what’s going on over at The Edge 103.9, but they’ve had at least 15 minutes of dead air now. Obviously the station is still in upheaval from their format “modification” and is controlled by creditors last we checked. Mechanical problems? Lawsuit from Shepherd Fairey? We’ll keep you…
If attending myriad First Fridays have taught us anything, it’s that the name of the game is truly “right place, right time.” Example: You could spend the entire evening over on Grand Avenue gawking at the various pint-sized art spaces and boutiques that make up Paisley Town followed by a…

As you may have already heard, John Hughes died of a heart attack today while visiting his family in New York. Hughes directed such films as Pretty In Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club and many more. This one’s for you, Mr. Hughes…
It’s recently come to my attention that there are other blogs out there, Stereogum in particular, who are head over heels for English rockers Wild Beasts. I listened to some of their songs from their upcoming release Two Dancers (out 9/8 on Domino) and immediately fell in love with the band’s…
Keep in mind, Twilight fans, that just because your favorite character from the film inspired by Stephenie Meyer’s uber-popular series of vampiric, romance novels for teens is chilling pool side does not mean that his or her skin will shimmer like diamonds. Still, for the cost of $105 a night,…

Blowing up a borrowed amp belonging to a guy who plays a Flying V and is known to wear face paint or cover himself in blood should be badge of honor for a local band. Blowing up an amp that belongs to notably loud garage-punk Jay Reatard? Shit, Earthmen and…
Bob Dylan can’t even get a decent drink in his wife’s backwater of a hometown. Perhaps that’s why he carries a gun during most of his new record, Together Through Life. He’s just an ordinary citizen, looking for someone to love, in “If You Ever Go to Houston” (a town…
When you’re tasked with writing about the Jonas Brothers, it can be hard to get enthused. All I could think to myself was, “Couldn’t it have been Miley Cyrus instead?” Then I could have written an epic road trip itinerary to take you out of Arizona and into the promised…
