Cover Story
The 2013 Spring Arts Preview
Who would stage an art show to mark an event that fizzled? Raices Taller 222, that’s who. The feisty little gallery with a Latino bent—which created the pointed show How Brown Am I? in the wake of the SB 1070 anti-immigrant bill—this time around has organized an exhibition around a massive misinterpretation of Mayan cosmology.…
An Amphi High Teacher’s Aide Got a Bit Too Friendly With Six(!) Male Students
The AVN Awards took place last weekend in Las Vegas, producing a handful of winners in a number of categories that we can’t go into too much detail describing here, if only because the boundaries of good taste (and time limitations; there are more than 130 AVN award categories) prevent me from doing so. But…
Pima County, FC Tucson Announce Stadium Deal
Tucson’s identity as a pro soccer destination — hey, what do you know, that happens to be the subject of this week’s cover story! — took a big step forward today when Pima County announced it was committing $2 million toward a full-fledged soccer stadium at the Kino Sports Complex. A press conference at Kino…
McDowell Mountain Music Festival brings The Shins, The Roots to Phoenix

Unfortunately, Come March, ‘Spring Breakers’ Will Be A Thing
The upcoming year seems to look pretty promising in terms of film; The Great Gatsby, The Reluctant Fundamentalist and The Spectacular Now (just to name a few) all seem rather promising as far as I’m concerned. But it wouldn’t be a well-rounded year without at least one flick with a bizarre storyline and even stranger…
Borderlands Re-Opens On Friday
The guys from Borderlands Brewing Co., located at 119 E.

Children of the ’90s, A New, Wholly Inappropriate Dexter’s Lab is Now Online
For those who grew up with cable in the late 1990s, Dexter’s Laboratory was one of those great shows that fueled the imagination of creative kids while keeping enough slapstick and silliness to make everyone happy. Plus, the main character was a pint-sized mad scientist before those were cool (I’m looking at you, Stewie Griffin).…
Those Postal Service Reunion Rumors Are No Longer Rumors
Those rumors going around about The Postal Service reuniting to perform at Coachella just got a little more realistic. In a press release sent out by Sub Pop, which released the band’s only album, Give Up, in 2003, the label announced that not only would Sub Pop be putting out the Give Up Deluxe 10th…
We’re Finally Announcing the Winners of the GIF Contest
Why yes, it has been a while since we’ve said we’d give out the literal grip o’ gift cards that were the prize for the contest—but, thanks to the awkward timing of the holidays, the editorial transition and some strange happenings during the public vote, things were left in the air. But, with everything finally…
Tucson Weekly Contributor Brian Pedersen Was Obliquely Mentioned in NY Times For Using Twitter Badly
Brian J. Pedersen, frequent Tucson Weekly contributor and former employee of the Arizona Daily Star, was mentioned, in a sideways fashion, in a New York Times article discussing whether or not speech posted on the Internet is protected by law, according to the National Labor Relations Board. In Pedersen’s case, they felt it wasn’t: The…

Occasionally, Even ‘Time’ Publishes Silly Stories

James Franco Outdoes Himself With “Obama” Poem
New York Daily News James Franco may have been just one player in an unprecedentedly snazzy roster of celebrities to commemorate Obama’s inauguration over the last few days, but his two cents might just take the cake as most memorable, by way of being the most “wait…WTF did he just say?!”-worthy. Just when you thought…
A Utah Company Fired Two Employees Because They Supported Obama
Last week, the Salt Lake Tribune reported that a Utah smoothie shop was charging liberal customers an extra dollar for their blended beverages, when a commenter chimed in, saying that his company fired two employees because they were Obama supporters.

Lupe Fiasco, whose popularity exploded after a successful guest spot on Kanye West’s single “Touch the Sky” and his successful debut album Food and Liquor, has run into a bit of a career snag recently. For one, his album Food and Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Part 1, was, in this writer’s opinion,…
Dating is Dead, says New York Times
The New York Times recently reported that, apparently, dating is dead. The story partially blamed social media: Instead of dinner-and-a-movie, which seems as obsolete as a rotary phone, they rendezvous over phone texts, Facebook posts, instant messages and other “non-dates” that are leaving a generation confused about how to land a boyfriend or girlfriend. “The…
It Was Phil Spector and Carole King, In The Studio, With The Microphone: The Implications Of The Crystals’ “He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss)”

The Manti Te’o Hoax From the Eyes of a Journalist
Although the certainty of this Manti Te’o hoax news is unclear, it is sure to bring about more annoying puns and terms that will stick around much longer than the news of the story will. “Te’oing,” a play on words from “Tebowing,” is already circuiting the Twitter and social media world as a term for…

Internet Troll With a Microphone Rush Limbaugh Has Found a New Low
A lot of the time when looking through the news I have to do so with a filter—sometimes to look through news that is less-than-credible, sometimes to look past things that are generally irrelevant and sometimes to straight-up ignore the things that are. On Wednesday’s Rush Limbaugh show, after a lengthy treatise on elitism that…

More than 60 Percent of Voting Americans Believe in Some Sort of Conspiracy Theory, Poll Alleges

Grammy Hype Gets a Bump From The Black Keys
Courtesy of The Black Keys Speaking from experience, it takes heavy motivation for music fans on the far-out fringes of the mainstream to sit through the Grammys. Between the Chris Brown-induced nausea and gaudy Lady Gaga get-ups, the show is rightfully criticized for being all about theatrics and not about, you know, the thing they’re…

Well, we could be getting closer to rescinding our affectionate name, Girls Gone Wild University and Casino, er, ASU.

Eugene Patterson’s Advice for the Ages
courtesy of the Tampa Bay Times, via the Associated Press I have this vision where every time a relative or unassuming stranger tells me that journalism is dying, I cackle and tell them, “You’re next.” Alas, there are much more respectable ways to respond to the all-too-familiar accusations that journalists face regarding the future of…
