Local band I is for Ida doesn't want to waste its time on meaningless songs.
So maybe they're indie. And maybe a little nerdy. But who can resist indie nerds holding kittens on their album art? Really, who?
There's more than tofu out there for vegetarians to munch on, and Green Light Bistro aims to prove it.
The mocking of British politesse for comic effect is nothing new. Jokes of this kind were a staple of "Monty Python's Flying Circus," but I have always had difficulty laughing at them.
Phoenix isn't exactly a mecca for up-and-coming rock bands.
Lawless Element will open for Digable Planets tonight at the Sunshine Theatre. The group, relatively new to the world of hip-hop, is comprised of MCs Magnif and Griot, and tries to avoid playing by the rules. Sure, critics often compare the Detroit hip-hop duo to classic acts like De La Soul and A ...

Erin Mowris, owner of Irysh Mac's, said it's not about the money. She always wanted to have her own coffee shop.
by John Bear Daily Lobo They say the pen is mightier than the sword. That's why my fingers get tingly as they anticipate dissing on bands with names that start with "the" and end in a noun. As it turns out, I ended up liking The Sword's album Age of Winters by the end, but bear with me.
by John Bear Daily Lobo Hip-hop could attain a higher degree of greatness, if it weren't for MCs. Not that there is a multitude of talented lyricists ready to grab the microphone and spit beautiful poetry. But how many times have you heard a great beat ruined by hip-hop clichÇs like just how dope I am or the terrifying magnitude of my crack business or my unmatched sex prowess? It gets a little tiring to hear beautiful music marred by egotistical and, more often than not, highly chauvinistic rantings that come in rhyming couplets.
by Abel Horwitz Daily Lobo Welcome to the suck. Of course, in 2005's pointless war flick "Jarhead" they weren't talking about the movies dumped into our laps at the beginning of every year, but this time it feels appropriate. The first three months of the year are generally known as the time where the major movie studios shave off the tripe that has been accumulating in their vaults with the hopes that the films will make enough money to repay the investments the studios put into them.
by Maria Staiano-Daniels Daily Lobo New Mexicans understand more than most the importance of water, but it is nothing compared to the reverence Indians show the Ganges.

by Joe Buffaloe Daily Lobo Early in "Transamerica," the main character Bree - formerly Stanley - drags her finger over an opera record, transforming the soprano voice into a lethargic baritone. It's an obvious metaphor for transexuality, and the mechanical, purely physical way our society designates someone as either male or female.
by Marcie Ortega Daily Lobo They are known as a Foo Fighters, Radiohead and U2 hybrid. Violet Nine, a band formed in Boston and recognized for its powerful live performances, has developed a fan base throughout the Northeast and will release its debut album, Any Wonder, this spring.
by John Bear Daily Lobo I have never been into comic books. And it's not my fault. My mother's father was an Episcopal priest and my father's father was a southern Baptist minister. Comic book reading was forbidden, perhaps because of the religious leanings of my two grandfathers.
by Daniel V. Garcia Daily Lobo Success for those who transition from a mainstream job to a career in music is precarious. However, there are some individuals whose inability to adjust to a typical job is indicative of their potential to flourish in an atypical one.
by John Bear Daily Lobo If you find the steamy puppet love scene in "Team America: World Police" a little conservative for your taste, you are, first of all, a sick, sick individual. Secondly, you are in luck. Filmmaker John Roecker is bringing his depraved stop-motion circus, "Live Freaky! Die Freaky!" to the Guild Cinema.
