Arizona is a quirky state. People there really like the colors salmon, purple and teal. Like, all together. But that’s alright because I like quirky; I’m the girl who thinks peanut butter goes great with everything. Like hot dogs. So I feel like I should probably go visit and get some Weird under my belt.

“A subject only a movie music reviewer can care about.”
Great post, and great point about year-end “bottom ten” lists, from our favorite battery type (that’s AA, you fiends; get your minds out of the gutter): Come on, if a movie was that bad, any lay person would have avoided it. It’s nothing we’re longing to erase from our memories. We figured out not to [...]
Here come the lists
Spin has announced their top 40 albums. By this point in the year we’ll learn nothing new: Animal Collective, Bat For Lashes, The Dead Weather, Grizzly Bear, Japandroids, Phoenix, Jay Reatard (presented in alphabetical order so as to not spoil the, ahem, surprise). Or will we? The present correspondent had not once heard of Florence [...]
Great bloggers are great music bloggers
From Andrew Sullivan. Remember that scene in The Breakfast Club? I believe the THC had already been ingested. The loathsome five spontaneously decided to be friends and apropos of nothing started dancing? Imagine that same choreography set to “Lisztomania” by Phoenix. Don’t have the requisite mental creativity? [Sigh.] Then just watch: Fred+2

Both bands had potential to deliver a great show and both had reasons that they needed to. Phoenix is still trying to get more recognition with [...]
Phoenix on SNL
I can’t remember the last time that I watched a full episode of SNL and I probably won’t start now but I will be taping it on April 4th in order to catch Phoenix performing “1901” and “Lisztomania”. The host for the evening will be Seth Rogen, you can take that bit of information however [...]
Phoenix New Single “Fences”
We have another new single for the highly anticipated Phoenix release Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix set to drop May 25th. The first single released was “1901″ and it has built up my hopes for Phoenix to make it to my top ten list of 2009 and the new single “Fences” hasn’t crashed that hope to the [...]
Phoenix New Single “1901″
Phoenix first caught my ear back in 2006 with the single “Long Distance Call” from the album It’s Never Been Like That and since then I have been enjoying their jangle-pop regularly. Now it appears that these Parisian boys are back in the studio preparing the release of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix due out May 25th. [...]
