The 2013 Southwest Terror Fest is approaching and the new (full) poster is available and with one quick glance you can tell it will be an event to be reckoned with. In fact, it is double the mayhem of last year’s inaugural event, featuring 65 bands over the course of four days at the Rock,…
Tucson’s Santa Theresa Tile Works Can Win a National Contest With Your Help
Tucson’s very own Santa Theresa Tile Works is in the running to potentially win a fairly nice amount of cash and adulation from Martha Stewart, and all they need to help with that is your votes. Right now, Santa Theresa is in the nomination round of the contest, and is competing to be one of…
Yes, We’re All Sick of the Sight of Miley Cyrus, But This Tumblr Is Amazing
So, as you might have noticed, the Internet exploded when Miley Cyrus rubbed her ass on a guy at the VMAs, ignoring that the Earth kept spinning while a 20-year-old pop star acted like a 20-year-old pop star. Well, a new Tumblr noticed the disparity and thought that one might be able to help the…
America Is Into Some Weird Porn, You Guys
Pornhub, a YouTube-like site for pornography that many people reading this post will refuse to admit they’ve gone to, is no stranger to putting themselves in the public eye, as seen by their attempt to donate money to the Susan G. Komen Foundation with money raised from video views last October. Now though, they’re looking…
Listen to the New Chelsea Wolfe Album
Chelsea Wolfe, the subject of this week’s music feature and part of HoCo Fest’s Sunday finale with Scout Niblett and others, has a new album out on September 3.

Your Chance to See Giant-Sized Morrissey on a Screen Is Saturday
Earlier this year, former Smiths frontman Morrissey performed a show in Hollywood High School’s auditorium, selling out the 1,800 seats in 12 seconds and delighting his shrieking fans by playing a stack of his hits like “Everyday Is Like Sunday” and “The Boy With The Thorn In His Side.” The Loft Cinema has been kind…

You Should Help Give Minor League Baseball a Proper Sendoff
When Tucson lost the Sidewinders last decade, it looked like the end of minor league baseball, and deservedly so. Attendance was pathetic, despite a team affiliated with the big-league Diamondbacks and which under former UA star Chip Hale had some pretty exciting teams. Then, through some stroke of freaky luck, we got another team, albeit…
UA Students, Which Is More Important: Money Or Getting Your Drink On?
The student section at Arizona Stadium for UA football games has been a source of pride, disappointment and sometimes flat out embarrassment over the years. Though large and in charge for pretty much every home game I can remember, the overall population of the lower bleachers spanning the UA’s side of the field after halftime…
Allstate Somehow Thinks Arizona Drivers Are REALLY Good
I’ve been with the same auto insurance provider for about three years now, but that doesn’t stop me from shopping around every six months to see if I can get a better deal. I can say, with confidence, that Allstate has never been in my top three in terms of affordable quotes. And now I…
McCain Backs Path to Citizenship for Undocumented at Immigration Town Hall
Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake spoke at a town hall meeting on immigration today in Mesa. One major takeaway: McCain made a forceful case for granting citizenship—albeit after a long, 13-year process that includes fines and fees—to the 11 million undocumented people now in the United States. That puts him at odds with much…
The True Music Festival in Scottsdale Has a Partial Lineup
It’s not entirely uncommon for someone to start talking about launching a music festival and refer to it as an Arizona version of Coachella. The Country Thunder folks floated that idea with a proposed Liquid Sol Festival, which is theoretically happening on November 2nd at University of Phoenix Stadium according to their website, but doesn’t…

(UPDATE) OK, So We’re Not No. 2, But …
Thanks, caller Ray ! So we’re not number two, but 19, because Greatist.com listed them in reverse alphabetical order. So, we switched places with Phoenix from last year and that makes Tucson 19th … and I’m still left scratching my head … I can’t help but scratch my head over the reasons that Tucson came…
People Are Terrible: Daniel Hernandez Recall Edition
Details about this flyer and another complaining about gun control are sketchy at this point, but according to a slew of lefty political blogs including RightWingWatch, someone seeking to recall Daniel Hernandez from the Sunnyside School Board is stooping to depressingly homophobic lows: The story behind the recall is the kind of byzantine saga found…
There’s a New Hopped Up Episode Featuring Mr. Heads
New episodes of the beer-focused webseries Hopped Up tend to appear somewhat sporadically, but when they do arrive, the show, focusing on an establishment that either makes beer or serves a bunch of it, is a delightful watch. This time, the crew stops by Fourth Avenue establishment Mr. Heads. Enjoy.

“National Report” Proves That Not Everyone On Internet Can Write Satire
As you might have all recognized by now, Jan Brewer isn’t actually making a move to implement some sort of crazy, anti-gay measure in this state, despite what your reactionary family, friends and neighbors have shared on Facebook. That’s awesome—but what’s not awesome is how these “satirists” are making everyone else look. As noted last…
Somehow, We Still Have Some Padres Tickets
MS Paint art by Dan Gibson UPDATE: The tickets have been claimed!

Local Octopus Car Washes Slapped by Labor Department
Things you should not do when running a business (a partial list): Work people under eighteen more than eight hours a day; have anyone work more than forty hours a week and pay them for 25; owe $313,333 in back wages to 292 current and former workers. But, yet, that’s what the Department of Labor…
The Onion Called Miley Cyrus’s VMA Implosion — Back in 2008 [NSFW]
Oh, Miley Cyrus. You used to be such an adorable scamp, what with your Disney Channel sitcom/toy-selling vehicle, music and movie career. But, as pretty much everyone with a computer has seen, Miley went wild at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards, collaborating on stage with “Blurred Lines” singer Robin Thicke as both a performer and…
UA Students, You’ve Got a Lot of Catching Up To Do
Arizona might have claimed the Territorial Cup for sports-related supremacy this past school year, but our fine collegiate student body has nothing on what Arizona State has accomplished already for the 2013-2014 campaign. Classes began Thursday at Girls Gone Wild University and Casino, which obviously meant the days leading up to the start of the…
Toxic Ranch Records to Close (But Possibly Relocate)
Bad news for Tucson’s music lovers: Toxic Ranch Records, supporters of the local punk, independent and underground sound, has announced that it will be closing soon, citing a desire from TRR’s landlords to expand their own space.

Here Are Some Dance Moves To Add To Your Repetoire, Compliments of UA Football
The predictions for Arizona’s football season in terms of performance have ranged from the disappointing (Sports Illustrated says 5-7, with only two wins in the Pac-12) to the realistic (I’m guessing 7-5) to the delusional (‘Rose Bowl, baby!!!’ according to 70 percent of radio show callers). At least the Wildcats know that if the pigskin…
Linda Ronstadt Has Parkinson’s Disease
Linda Ronstadt Details are apparently forthcoming as part of an extended interview set to run next week, but the unfortunate news for the day is that AARP.com announced that Tucson legend Linda Ronstadt has Parkinson’s disease, which has robbed her of the ability to sing and needs assistance to walk: Legendary singer Linda Ronstadt, 67,…

Your Dream Of Being a Professional (Video) Poker Player Can Now Be Realized
Just like there are many ways to skin a cat, there are also infinite approaches to playing slot machines. For some, it’s betting the most you possibly can each pull in hopes of hitting some big score. For others — like my mother, the minimum bet master — if you’re frugal enough you can make…

No, Crazyland’s Governor is Not Putting a Gay to Straight Curriculum in Arizona Schools
Dear Weekly readers who e-mailed today asking if this piece floating through the interwebs could be true — did the Guv sign off a new gay to straight conversion curriculum called People Can Change set to start in all Arizona public school beginning Nov. 1? No. Not happening. It’s satire, just not Onion satire. But…
The Loft Is Showing an “Aerobics-Sploitation” Film Monday
There are no words to accurately capture the weirdness of Pulsebeat, a 1984 film designed to take advantage of the moment when Jazzercise and Jane Fonda ruled,but you’ll have the chance to experience it yourself on Monday at the Loft. From the Loft’s blurb: Along the way, we are treated to WAY too much slow…
‘Star’ Writer Haunted by Online Ad; Should Probably Clear Cookies
Photo courtesy of Shutterstock Note, this is probably not the actual man wearing suspenders. I understand the peril of having to come up with content on demand, so I’m sympathetic to the fact that every column by Sarah Garrecht Gassen isn’t going to be scintillating (she definitely a sharp thinker and a good writer), but…

Report: Granite Mountain Hotshot Crew Ill-Prepared To Battle Blaze
Independent journalist John Dougherty of InvestigativeMEDIA raises serious questions about whether the Granite Mountain Hotshots who died in late June should have been dispatched to battle the Yarnell Hill Fire: Before the Granite Mountain Hotshots even approached Yarnell Hill, a substantial amount of information shows, serious problems already had engulfed the crew.

When Dave Sitton made a run at the GOP nomination for the June 2012 special election to fill out the rest of Gabrielle Giffords’ term in the House of Representatives, he had the backing of several big-time Republicans in this town.

Ghost Shark Thursday, Aug. 22 (Syfy) Movie: “Maybe all we gotta do is stay dry and it’ll leave us alone,” says Victim No. 46 of Syfy’s Ghost Shark, injecting logic where it damned well doesn’t belong—but at least this is more plausible than Sharknado: “A great white shark is tortured and killed by a fisherman,…
Guest Commentary
I remember sitting through those interminable fourth-period biology classes. My stomach growling in anticipation of lunch, I was self-consciously filling in unlabeled diagrams of sexual anatomy when I wanted to be filling my belly. Meanwhile, I kept my head down as the class bullies made crude comments. Sex education, especially during the already awkward years…
Big City Dining
Despite having its origins in Flagstaff, the new downtown Tucson restaurant Proper feels like it belongs in a bustling metropolitan West Coast city. The décor is industrial, but not cold, and the restaurant manages to have an open, airy feel while still being cozy. The restaurateurs behind Proper are the same folks behind SLO (“Sustainable.…

Memories of Jeff Smith Thank you for publishing the beautiful different articles to celebrate the life of our legendary journalist Jeff Smith (“Jeff Smith, 1946-2013”, Aug. 15).

For more than 20 years, Slaid Cleaves has struggled to make himself heard, releasing 10 albums that slowly but surely have attracted critical acclaim and won him a reputation among fans and fellow musicians for starkly beautiful, literary song craft.

What is the “right” way to cover University of Arizona athletics?

DEATH TO FALSE METAL Despite releasing one of last year’s best-reviewed albums, it’s been a rough year for Baroness, the (mostly) Savannah, Ga.-based band currently celebrating its 10th year. Yellow & Green, a double album sticking with the tradition of naming the band’s albums after colors (Red Album came out in 2007, Blue Record in…
Revolving Racetrack
A melancholy lingers around Tucson Greyhound Park, the residual from fans who abandoned this track in droves, lured away by tribal casinos or repelled by dog racing’s increasingly seedy reputation. Indeed, the entire industry is a mere shadow of its post-World War II glory days, with only 22 tracks nationwide, down from 49 tracks in…

As history proves, Hüsker Dü’s addition of melody to hardcore punk’s bark, by taking some cues from the Buzzcocks, but mainly blazing their own trail, begat (and here’s where the going got gross) Green Day, who begat Blink-182, who begat every terrible pop-punk band you watched on Fuse for most of the last decade. Tucson’s…
Intermountain Opportunity
Every so often, the idea of opening a private school for special-needs students, most often those with autism, seems to creep up on local special education list-serves, but rarely does the idea actually lead to bricks and mortar. In late June, however, the Tucson Unified School District governing board voted to lease Howenstine Magnet High…

No Age: An Object
An Object, No Age’s fourth studio album, is to Sonic Youth’s Sister as the films of Rob Zombie are to the low-budget horror movies of the 1970s (like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes).

A Circle K manager called 911 to report that…
Truth & Salvage Co.: Pick Me Up
Pick Me Up, the second album from Truth & Salvage Co., is filled with gritty rockers, breezy country and hints of bluegrass and folk. It’s a daunting goal, but as a sextet, the band has a full sound and enough singers to pull off such a broad swipe at Americana music. The band’s strength is…
The Polyphonic Spree: Yes, It’s True.
What is the question? The emphatically positive title of the Polyphonic Spree’s fourth studio album is an answer to something, an attempt to reassure, restore or reinforce a belief in something. Led by Tim DeLaughter, the band—with its matching robes and 20-plus members—has always been a bit of a curiosity. Even beyond the aesthetic presentation,…

Not long ago, Richard Grant left his Tucson home for new digs in the Mississippi Delta.

The Problem With Patents
Remember when Monsanto sued that Canadian farmer over canola he raised from seeds that blew into his field off a passing Monsanto truck? The Case of Mr. Schmeiser was documented, among many other places, in the movie Food, Inc., which subsequently fed the flames of a burgeoning anti-Monsantoism. Partly because of that film, I now…

Failed Franchise
Kick-Ass 2 had barely started when I suffered a serious flashback, a flashback so vivid it felt like I had time traveled (I was sort of high on Benadryl at the time, which can seriously mess with my mind, but at least it stops my nose from running). I flashed back to 1989, the summer…
Editor’s Note
I’m setting myself up for a series of snappy remarks here (ex. “We could have guessed!”), but since I skipped journalism school, I might have missed some rules and guidelines about decorum and how journalists are supposed to interact with readers. I can probably blame my informal journalistic training, I suppose: I started my writing…
Remembering Out Loud
New directors deserve to have their work analyzed over the course of distinct eras. Hitchcock had pre-Hollywood, early Hollywood, and that ridiculous string of achievements in the late 1950s (Vertigo, North by Northwest and Psycho were released within 25 months of each other). Scorsese had his fruitful De Niro period and everything that’s followed it.…
