The Case of Liberty Cove
The terms were just too seductive. Dean Stein, a Phoenix anesthesiologist, bought in. So did Gary Leavitt, an Arizona developer. Matt Mickley, a businessman, followed suit. Another dozen Phoenicians reached for their checkbooks, as did another 200 people from across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Who could say no to 10 percent interest? The…
Peter Ivers and New Wave Theatre
Earlier this morning I finished In Heaven Everything Is Fine: The Unsolved Life of Peter Ivers and the Lost History of New Wave Theatre by Josh Frank and Charlie Buckholtz. It was a heart-breaking biography on a unique man who was beaten to death, a crime still unsolved. So who is Peter Ivers? Peter Ivers…
You Should Read This Excerpt From a New Book on Scientology
In 2011, Lawrence Wright profiled former-Scientologist Paul Haggis for the New Yorker and now he’s taken that research a step further, looking into the celebrity culture and inner workings of the Church of Scientology in his new book Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief. The Hollywood Reporter is running two excerpts in…
Apparently, Even the Deleted Scenes From the New ‘Arrested Development’ Episodes Are Hilarious
Ending the day with a clip DELETED from the show, filled with pitch-perfect physical comedy, was a good way of re-exciting me. #tca13— Todd VanDerWerff (@tvoti) January 9, 2013 I give up. I tried to pretend to be cool and indifferent about the 14 new episodes of Arrested Development coming to Netflix. After this tweet…

NRA Plans to Sue Tucson Police Department Over Destroying Bought-Back Guns
Well, here’s something I didn’t expect to hear about: NRA board member and lobbyist Todd Rathner claims that the end result of yesterday’s gun buyback in midtown Tucson—the planned destruction of the guns bought by the Tucson Police Department for $50 in gift cards—is illegal according to Arizona State Law. From NPR: Rathner says Arizona…
The Worst of the Worst: 2013 Razzie Nominations Announced
The Razzies have once again beaten the Academy Awards to the punch of reflecting back on the films of the year—but for this awards show, the picture isn’t so pretty. The Golden Raspberry Awards have dishonored Hollywood’s most shamelessly awful films annually since 1981; the ceremony unfolds the day before the Academy Awards and is…
Relive Amos Lee’s Fox Theatre Concert in the Comfort of Your Home
You might recall Amos Lee’s 2011 performance at the Fox Theatre, which was taped for the PBS show Live from the Artists Den. Lee performed alongside his own band and members of Calexico and the Silver Thread Trio. The performance is now available for audio download at the Artists Den store and a DVD will…

At Least 643 Americans Have Been Killed By Guns Since Newtown
Since last year’s mass shooting in Aurora, Colo., the anonymous Twitter account @GunDeaths has posted a tweet for every news story they could find of a person who has been killed by a gun in North America, “regardless of cause and without comment.” After the shooting in Newtown, Slate partnered with @GunDeaths to create an…
For Your Consideration: Whole Lotta Helter Skelter, a Beatles/Led Zeppelin Mashup
I enjoy few things more than a good musical mash-up: hearing two songs from different bands blended together to create something familiar, yet new at the same time, is one of my true musical pleasures—when it’s done right. For every interesting mix of Nirvana and MGMT, there’s some putz who slapped together the Beatles’s “Come…
Waging Nonviolence: ‘Lessons in Organization and Dignity From the Zapatistas’
Waging Nonviolence’s Marta Molina provides a full report on the Dec. 21 Zapatista action, what she describes as a lesson in organization and discipline. Big recommend you read the entire post at wagingnonviolence.org. Here’s a snippet: Compared to the sometimes-chaotic mobilizations that occurred on the streets of Mexico City on December 1, the day that…
Steel for Cash: A Look at the Jan. 8 Gun Buybacks

Federal Judge: Landlords Can’t Stop Cannabis Sales
The Harborside Health Center in Oakland, Calif. – often recognized as the largest cannabis health center in the nation – will remain open for now, despite its landlord’s attempt to halt cannabis sales there. Harborside, which opened six years ago, was hauled into court last year in a forfeiture case against the building’s owner. After…
Man Hires Assassins to Kill Son—In Online Game Son Won’t Stop Playing
This should go without saying, but some online gamers are weird. According to video gaming blog Kotaku, a Mr. Feng, of China, was concerned with the time his unemployed 23-year-old son was spending playing various online role playing games instead of looking for work—so concerned that he hired players to track down his son’s characters…
Tonight: TUSD’s Grijalva Brings Deseg Objection Back Up for Vote
Well, Tucson Unified School District governing board member Adelita Grijalva is doing exactly as she promised the last time she talked with the Range about the Dec. 11 school board meeting that sent a wave of confusion that left some of the public wondering exactly what happened. On the agenda at that meeting was “Fisher-Mendoza…
Education Advocacy Group Gives Arizona’s System a ‘C’
Tonight on our Arizona Public Media, PBS Channel 6, Frontline takes a look at former chancellor of Washington, D.C. public schools, Michelle Rhee in The Education Of Michelle Rhee, 10 p.m. Coincidentally, Rhee’s education advocacy organization, StudentsFirst, released a report yesterday grading states based on the organization’s platform — using student results to evaluate teachers,…
A Conn. State Rep. Told Gabby Giffords to ‘Stay Out’ of Newtown
Connecticut state representative DebraLee Hovey, whose district includes Newtown, the site of last month’s school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, was in Florida last week when some troubling news came to her attention: an out-of-state politico was looking to encroach on her territory, making a media showing of visiting the townsfolk she represents, taking advantage…
Healthy Iron Chef: And The Winner Is…
As I had mentioned here, the Healthy Iron Chef Competition went down this weekend at the Arizona State Home Show…and the winner is Chef Albert Hall of Acacia, who came out victorious against a field of five other chefs competing for the title. Congratulations!
The other, other Iron Maiden(s)
I know I just wrote about the first Iron Maiden, but the band that’s coming to Tucson next week will not be playing any of their material. Instead, they will be covering material from the NWBHM Iron Maiden. The Iron Maidens, an all-female tribute band, will be coming to Casino del Sol next Thursday, January…
It’s Finally Here: Reader Voting For Tucson’s Best GIFs
After a long, arduous process, we finally have our finalists for the GIF contest.

UA Football Star Gaining Attention Off Field, Too, But Not in a Good Way
The college football world started noticing Ka’Deem Carey for the first time in early November when he bulldozed over a REALLY bad Colorado defense to set University of Arizona and Pac-12 conference single-game rushing records, en route to leading the nation in rushing and getting some early buzz for the 2013 season’s Heisman race. And…
Does The Twitter Code of Conduct Cover Bomb Threats?
Pardon the pun — actually, don’t; it’s totally appropriate in this case — but Twitter has exploded in terms of the number of uses it has when it comes to communicating, sharing information and keeping up on what’s going on without ever having to look up from the laptop, tablet or smartphone. But a couple…

Don’t Be a Tattoo Dick
xoJane.com, described as a website “where women go when they are being selfish, and where their selfishness is applauded. This is not the place to find out how to please your husband, mom, kids or boss. This is the place to indulge in what makes you feel good.” Well, so if tattoos fall under you…
A Wine Bar Is Coming to the Former Create Café Space
I reported a few weeks back that Create Café and Catering at 4660 E. Camp Lowell Drive had “closed” the café side and was now only doing catering operations. Along with that the previous owners told me something/someone new would be moving in — and according to a new liquor license that has been filled…
If You Want To Learn More About Attractive Ad Girls, Then I’ve Got the Tumblr For You
So, here’s a weird thing: Apparently, there are people who make a (blog) living out of tracking down the attractive people in ads and revealing their names and professional information. Of course they have ads from American Apparel. Yep. WhoIsThatHotAdGirl.Tumblr.com. It’s a thing that exists—and of course it would, in this day and age, considering…
Exo Roast Open This Morning
We mentioned a few days ago that Exo Roast Co. (403 N. 6th Ave.) had a run of bad luck and announced that it would be closed until further notice. Well, their luck has changed. They are back open this morning, per their Facebook page. This is good news for me, because it is one…
Antenori Promises “Feisty” Presence at Kozachik’s Town Hall Tonight
Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik is expecting a big crowd at his town hall tonight at the Loft Cinema. In what he calls an effort to rebuild some of the community unity that existed in the wake of the shooting rampage that shook Tucson two years ago, Kozachik has brought together a long lineup of…
Cats Win Another Nail-Biter To Remain Undefeated: 60-57 Over Utah
Highlights from the Wildcats’ 60-57 win over Utah yesterday. The Cats had a comfortable lead throughout most of the game, but nearly let it slip away in the final minutes. Arizona remains undefeated after 14 games this season, but it appears the Cardiac Cats are determined to keep things interesting until the final whistle. The…
Exo Roast Closed Until Further Notice
Noelle Haro-Gomez Unfortunate news from Exo Roast on Sixth Avenue, which announced on Facebook that the shop will be closed today and temporarily until further notice: To Our Dear Patrons.

A Kansas Town Has Made it Illegal to Own More Than Four Cats, Possibly to Avoid Cat Stew Issues
Today, the Daily Beast has this vaguely interesting listicle (list-based article) centered around possible reasons that the small town of Wellington, Kan., has made it illegal for a house to contain more than four cats. Shocking stuff, sure (at least, if you were planning to move to a town in Kansas with a population less…
Whoever Made This Image For the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office Probably Should Have Done Some Fact-Checking
When one scans the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office’s website, one finds a wealth of information—generally about the most recent appearance Sheriff Paul Babeu has made on national television (see the CNN video embedded on the site’s front page, for an example). When one then checks the About PCSO page, just below Smilin’ Paul’s face, they…
Chuck Berry’s Thoughts on Punk and New Wave in 1980
In 1985, some friends and I drove from my hometown, Springfield, Ill., to St. Louis, as we often did, to see a show. We went to see Hüsker Dü, who had just released Flip Your Wig, their last album on SST Records before signing with Warner Bros. The opening band was someone we had never…
Highlights From UA’s Come-From-Behind Win Against Colorado
Here’s your chance to watch highlights from the Wildcats’ astonishing come-from-behind win over Colorado last night. By just showing Arizona’s baskets, I think the UA Athletics team takes away from the evening’s drama. As much fun as it was to watch the comeback, let’s hope the Cats get into the game earlier when they face…
Is A Brouhaha Brewing Between Tucson and Its Police Union?
The relationship between a union and the management of the employees it represents is never a harmonious one. Doesn’t matter the industry or organization, unions and employers are as pre-destined to bicker and squabble as are Foghorn Leghorn and the chicken hawk. But I say, I, I say, I don’t reckon Foghorn has taken to…
Today in Incredibly Strange Videos From Former Gay Porn Stars
Joseph Sciambra claims to be a former gay porn star (I choose to take his word for it) and he has a few interesting theories about anal sex, including the idea that the practice creates demons. Totally worth watching (although perhaps not at work if you’re using speakers that can be heard by others), if…
The Second Iron Maiden
I didn’t know this was ever a thing until about a month or two ago. There was, indeed, another band in the UK named Iron Maiden, and they recorded an album in 1969 and it sounded like a mix between a few bands of the time, including Black Sabbath and their bluesiness, and flutey, folksy…
Seatbacks and Armrests: What Are They Worth to You?
Any consideration about whether my budget could handle season tickets for the 2013 version of University of Arizona football went out the door this afternoon when a very enterprising UA ticket rep locked me into two seats to what all Wildcat fans hope will be a Rose Bowl-bound entertaining team to watch. But not just…
Cats Remain Undefeated After Wildest Game Yet
What do you call the opposite of the buzzer beater? The Range isn’t sure, but we were close to losing hope tonight until the refs threw out Colorado’s last-second three-pointer and sent the game into overtime. After trailing by 16 in the second half, the Cats pull off an astonishing 92-83 win over Colorado to…
The University of Arizona Has the Nation’s First Hip-Hop Minor
According to this release from the University of Arizona, they’re actually the first school in the country to offer a hip-hop minor. No, really. While some might think hip-hop isn’t suitable for serious study, Alain-Philippe Durand, director of Africana Studies, disagrees. For decades, scholars have trained their academic eyes on the music, fashion, street art…
Greek Taverna on Swan Set to Close Tomorrow
Sad news for fans of Greek fare in midtown — Greek Taverna, at 3225 N. Swan Road, will be shutting its doors for good at the close of business tomorrow. According to Yanni Markou, the brother of owner George Markou, talk of closing the shop had gone back and forth for the past week or…
Take a Deep Breath, Folks: Big Juan’s is Closed

Speedway Blvd. & 4470 N. First Ave. We regret to inform all of our loyal customers that we have closed our doors due to…
Mayhem and Mania in Flagstaff
Jim Nintzel Who knew the pinecone drop would usher in such chaos?

Tom Goes to the Chair: The Dark Filling of the Fluffy ‘Cake Boss’
My wife watches “Cake Boss,” which means that if I want to share the living room with her on those evenings, I have to half-watch it, too. It’s an innocuous little show about a guy who runs a bakery, Carlo’s Bake Shop, in Hoboken, New Jersey. Bartolo “Buddy” Valastro has been working in the bakery…

Deportation Dilemma
The last time Esteban Tiznado-Reyna got busted, he was sneaking back into his own country. That much seems clear. Whether he can be here legally is another matter.

Last week on The Range, I mentioned an…

As I walked into Tucson Live Music Space on Saturday night, I looked up, and in front of all the bands I came to see, I was greeted with a very audible “Hey! It’s the press!” by the in-house booker. I pulled him aside and whispered, “You probably don’t want to say that in front…

The VSS: Nervous Circuits & 25:37 (Sargent House)
Like many great bands, the VSS existed during a small, finite window of time—about 36 months in the mid-1990s. The Colorado-by-way-of-San Francisco band eschewed trends of the day by combining abrasive post-punk with synthesizers, simultaneously harking back to early punk rock of the late 1970s (when no rule went unbroken) and foreseeing a terrifying future.…

Street Food and the Sea
The current street food movement reminds me a lot of the fusion cuisine movement of the ’90s.
