You Asked For It: Instant Hobo

By Martin Cizmar

I was once in a band. A hobo-themed band, actually. The Hobo Kin played our one and only show at a cemetery in Brimfield, Ohio on Halloween night 2002. We gave our fans – all girls we knew from our college paper – doughnuts.

Tow Jam: Cars Parked Near Dos Gringos in Tempe Get Cleared Out Every Weekend

By Niki D'Andrea

Planning to party at Dos Gringos in Tempe this weekend? Watch where you park, lest you leave the club to find an empty slab of asphalt where your car used to be. Starting on Thursday nights, local towing companies have been having a heyday hauling vehicles from unauthorized parking spaces. The weekend of September 12-14, more than 40 vehicles were towed from the area. In many cases, clubgoers didn’t realize they were parking in tow-away zones, and were shocked when they had to shell out upwards of $140 each to retrieve their vehicles.

Ear to the Street: Immortal Technique

By Ernest Barteldes

For a guitar player who was behind many of the hits that helped build the successful path forged by Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham has kept an intriguingly low profile on his own, releasing only a handful of solo records over the years — mostly because his individual projects would eventually…

My Morning Jacket

By Michael Roberts

Over the years, categorizers have shoved My Morning Jacket in numerous pigeonholes: jam, Southern rock, Americana, and more. Group leader Jim James doesn’t much like being labeled, though, as Evil Urges, the act’s latest disc, makes clear. The CD begins with the title track, “Touch Me I’m Going to Scream…

Vampire Weekend

By Ryan Foley

Call it an amendment to Godwin’s Law: As reviews of Vampire Weekend’s self-titled disc accumulate, the probability they’ll mention Paul Simon’s Graceland approaches 100 percent. It’s a lazy game of connect the dots, really. Graceland traces an MOR-shattering pilgrimage wherein Simon spent 17 days recording in South Africa, cheesing off…
