Amy Winehouse’s husband filed for divorce two weeks ago. Now, he says he’s entitled to half the Grammy-winning singer’s money.

I know my excitement about this show is going to give people a chance to give me shit, but fuck it: Conor Oberst and the Mystique Valley Band are coming to the Marquee on Tuesday, April 14. Already, you can feel the excitement building. Witness this conversation between my friend…

I’ll be the first to admit I’m a little late to the Mastodon party. Metal is just not my thing, and metal fans are often off-putting (as if hipsters were any better). Mastodon, however, doesn’t really give a shit about all that. Their new single “Divinations” hit the Interwebs last night, much…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed Arizona living has been good to Brenda Warner, Kurt’s wife. Back in the St. Louis days, she drew comparisons to Rocky’s Russian opponent, Ivan Drago, but she was quite a hottie in that segment Fox ran last week. Busted Coverage has…

You’re Not Crying, Are You?” Check…

Last night was the Obama Staff Ball in Washington. While the stars of the night were the president and vice president, the entertainment was top-notch, Jay-Z and Arcade Fire. The ball was the final event in the weeklong celebration of the historic inauguration. It was a party for the thousands…

The lack of crossover between the Phoenix and Tucson scenes has always struck me as a little odd, not only because we’re out here in the desert together, without another decent-size city within a five hour’s drive of us, but because the music coming out of the scenes isn’t all…

Valley indie-rock buzz band Source Victoria (a Jim Adkins favorite!) and Gin Blossoms über-guitarist Scotty Johnson are mixing it up this weekend with gigs outside the box. Source Victoria will perform at Scottsdale’s Art One Gallery, 4120 N. Marshall Way. The show starts around 10 p.m. Cover is $5. Proceeds go…
