Year of The Zombie
In terms of most original, wildly independent, underground hip-hop, 2013 was the year of the Zombies. That’s Flatbush ZOMBIES to be precise.

(their first official mixtape). Though the mixtape dropped in…

Smuggling Drugs with Cats!
It’s not the typical cat videos we pick-up. This cutie isn’t walking upright and doing the cha-cha or popping his head in and out of a cardboard box. No. This cat was caught smuggling marijuana into a prison. Cats are amazing creatures. Prison workers apprehended the cat late last week after they noticed it wearing…

Tucson Blues Festival: Every Shade of Blue
C. Elliott Cholla High School Blues Band The Southern Arizona Blues and Heritage Festival is sort of a Tucson Meet Yourself of the genre. The juke joints and players of the Mississipi Delta made it tangible, gave it a name, called it even when it wasn’t due, as if to ward it off or as…

Try The Cocktober Fest
This is the closest thing to male strip club you’re going to get, ladies. Tucson is full of beautiful people, and some are male believe it or not.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Must Be Bored
Two-time governor and one-time pregnant man Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Reddit late last week to promote his latest film, Escape Plan, in an amusing fashion.

Go See DJ Hurricane Tonight
DJ Hurricane will live on forever in my mind, if only for one line in the Beastie Boys’ track, “Shake Your Rump”: “Hurricane, you got clout/Other DJs, he’ll put your head out” A close second in my heart, his brief, but essential appearance in the video for “Sabotage”: DJ Hurricane, who stood behind the Beastie…
Losing My Rocky Horror Virginity
Tomorrow night is the monthly midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at The Loft Cinema, 3233 E. Speedway Blvd. It’s an experience that is never the same twice. At least for me. The stories told by my family members have always seemed a hell of a lot different from those I heard from my…

Coffee With ‘Carrie’ Was The Worst Tinder Date Ever
The Carrie remake is hitting theaters this weekend, and I’m glad Hollywood is doing it. This day and age doesn’t need new, original ideas because people like familiar stuff. It’s the same reason why people love fast food. It makes life easier when food is sorted by a number and preheated. I think we all know…
Pedersen Prep Football Preview
There are three weeks left in the high school football season, and things are starting to shape up in terms of playoff participants. And by shape up, I mean … almost nothing is settled. But a lot of teams are in good shape, assuming they can continue on a positive track. Of the 17 or…
Here’s Your Chance to Win Tickets to the Monterey Court Jazz Fest
The other day I was at Monterey Court, the bar/restaurant/performance space/boutique conglomeration on Miracle Mile, and was reminded what a great space it is. First of all, as someone who grew up here petrified of even being in a car driving down Miracle Mile (yes, that was overly paranoid, but I was a kid), seeing…
Carve Pumpkins at Maker House
Show off your pumpkin carving skills Friday Oct. 17 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Maker House, 283 N. Stone Ave. I try my hardest to find family friendly events around town, but sometimes I feel like I live on the Las Vegas strip. Halloween is right around the corner and here’s this is the place…

Deadspin Doesn’t Think All That Much of the Chimichanga
A really old photo from the late-not-so-lamented Gordo’s Mexiteria. Great news from noted food site Deadspin: the chimichanga, which is still, criminally, not Arizona’s official state dish, is better than the unofficial state dishes of 32 other states (take that, Utah’s “green Jell-O with goddamn carrots in it”). However, that also means that 17 other…
Tucson’s Linda Ronstadt Was Nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Danehy
I would have titled this column “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” except for the fact that since I write and coach for a living, my vacation is pretty much year-round. However, I did have a surprisingly enjoyable time during what was other people’s summer vacation. There’s this young guy named Ian; I met him…
Being Human
When an innovative style is a writer’s main goal, emotional subtleties tend to fall by the wayside.

Messina
Ozzie is a very picky eater—he doesn’t eat like others of his own kind. Wheat, corn and sugar have no place in his diet. Instead, he prefers poultry without added hormones and other preservative-free food. His special diet has a direct effect on his appearance and vitality. He looks and acts half his age. Yes,…
Secrets and Lies
The real story revealed in The Fifth Estate isn’t the rise of Julian Assange or the threat of Wikileaks; it’s that, by and large, nobody seems to care about this stuff for very long. That’s a bit disconcerting, really, but there it is. The film is bubbling over with characters exclaiming or worrying that leaked…
Media Watch
KGUN TABS INGER FOR PRIME-TIME NEWS ANCHOR Stella Inger will replace Jennifer Waddell as the evening news anchor at KGUN Channel 9.

True TV
Reign Thursday, Oct. 17 (The CW) Series Debut: The story of Mary, Queen of Scots may seem a little ambitious for The CW—but don’t worry, it’s still PG-13 Tudors-lite sexy. Oh, and mostly fabricated and era-incorrect. What-evs. Once you get past the wavering accents and passing hints at the supernatural (which seems to be a…
The Problem With Pirates
Once again, Tom Hanks stars in a true-events film where his character is stuck in a small, dangerous space for a long time with an outcome most of us might know from following the news. Even though the ending is out there, Hanks and director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) somehow make the…
DVD Roundup
The Conjuring Paranormal investigators (Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson) are called to help a family terrorized by demons in a farmhouse.

Pistol Politics
In the wake of the slaughter of 20 schoolchildren and six adults by a crazed gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School last December, the issue of gun control took center stage in national politics. Politicians on both sides of the aisle offered proposals. President Barack Obama issued a collection of executive actions aimed to reducing…
Cocktail Concerns
As a nightclub and bar, Playground completely understands its identity: It’s a community building that happens to serve alcohol and play music. Tucsonans are welcome to get together, relax, celebrate and network in the bar and on the roof, or rent space for meetings, parties or weddings. The food isn’t quite as self-assured, but weirdly,…
Civil Dis(obedience)course 101
What does it take for Tucson to live up to its self-professed title, made official by the Tucson City Council in August 2012, as an immigrant welcoming city, when the Tucson Police Department continues to call Border Patrol during routine traffic stops? It’s a question immigration reform activists have been asking for some time, but…

Pedersen on Sports
It’s not so much that our community is filth-ridden and overrun with dilapidated houses in desperate need of a date with a wrecking ball. But the combination of dusty streets (compliments of our dry, desert climate) and our overall tendency to neglect weeds until they reach crop-harvesting level can give the impression that we’re not…
Beauty Born of Exploration
Cave is a rarity in the music world. They set limitations for themselves that are ambiguous enough to incorporate whatever stylistic excursions they see fit. They have a single-minded creative goal that expands with each album they record and each show they play. They do what they want, and what they want seems to be…
Guest Commentary
Remember that kid from elementary school, the one with the terrible depth perception? That was me. I fell down stairs, missed the next rung on the monkey bars, and could always be counted on to drop the easiest pop fly. But I eventually grew out of that, and these days my depth perception is probably…
Soundbites
R.I.P., AMY AND DERRICK ROSS We’re short on details as we go to press, but it saddens us immensely to report that Bisbee resident Amy Ross, the “Whiskey Girl” half of the beloved duo Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl, a longtime Tucson favorite, passed away on Monday, Oct. 14.

Michael Franti & Spearhead: All People
The always earnest Michael Franti updates his sound a bit for 2013, smoothing some edges, but keeping the focus on hopeful music. The opening “All People” finds Franti and Co. veering toward the neo-disco dance sound that’s grown increasingly prevalent this year. While the message of universal equality is spot-on and encouraging, Franti’s rap-bridge lyrics…
The Skinny
ARIZONA’S SECOND-CLASS VOTER Attorney General Tom Horne came out with a staggering legal opinion last week: Arizona has two classes of voters. One class is allowed to vote in every election. The second class is barred from voting in local and state elections, although it can vote in federal elections. And it appears Secretary of…
Zola Jesus: Versions
Two years after the release of the riveting Conatus, it’s unclear whether we needed an album of orchestral versions of most of those songs (plus a smattering from the Stridulum II and Valusia EPs). Where’s the new material, Ms. Jesus? What’s worse, these takes on her previous efforts—recorded with a string quartet led by Foetus’…
Pick of The Week
For Krystyna Parafinczuk, dancing is the key to staying sane. “I have no choice; I have to dance,” says Parafinczuk. “It’s a way of life—to be healthy, fulfilled, and to be engaged with your body. It’s vital to (my) existence.” Her motto is “dancing and dance education creates strong minds and super bodies” and as…
Holy Ghost!: Dynamics
The remarkable second full-length release by this New York City duo displays a wicked instinct for irresistible melodies and sparkling arrangements. Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser cannily re-create styles such as disco, synth pop and even easy listening in the context of contemporary dance music. Songs such as “Okay,” “Changing of the Guard” and “Bridge…

Get Your Gummy Worms Here
Convenience is a key reason to have an Arizona medical marijuana card. The card turns the chore of getting meds into something akin to grabbing a gallon of milk—”Sure, honey. I’ll grab an eighth on my way home from work.” There are suddenly a lot of dispensaries in el Pueblo Viejo, all vying for a…
T Q & A
Kate Randall and Trudy Mills are throwing a party this weekend to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Antigone Books, which has been a Fourth Avenue institution for most of its existence.

Live
Shortly after learning of the unexpected passing of beloved Arizona musician Amy Ross, one half of Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl, on Monday morning, I arrived at Topaz, deeply troubled. With the shock and confusion that comes from a friend’s sudden death, my experience watching and listening to the four acts that performed played…
Life, Interrupted
According to the Swedish-English dictionary, the word “giltig” means “valid.” But what does Barbara Penn’s painting “Giltig Landings” mean? The first panel at the painting’s upper left delivers the most obvious clue: The word “IRAQ” is painted in big red letters. And despite the Swedish title, the painting’s pale tones of gray, beige and white…
Before There Was a Snooki
If you know nothing about Florence Foster Jenkins, the New York socialite who fancied herself a world-class soprano and became a hot ticket despite a complete lack of singing ability, you need to know this: She happened. Watching her delicious story play out in Souvenir, now onstage at Live Theatre Workshop, you might wonder whether…
Editor’s Note
For some reason, as the editor of the Weekly, I tend to hear questions and comments in thematic bursts. I won’t get a certain type of complaint or remark for awhile, but then three people will out of nowhere pop up to ask what happened to a comic that stopped running two years ago. Life…
