Primates are on the walls. Literally. Or at least their paintings are. No, this is not some dehydrated delusion from walking around in the warming temperatures for too long, but rather a description of the eclectic artwork that can be found in Downtown Phoenix’s The Lost Leaf. Nestled snugly beside a
An enriching plot, gorgeous visual imagery and protagonists who ensnare the attention of any viewer they encounter. No, I’m not talking about Oscar-winning films; my focus is solely on the visual imagery constructed to convey the meaning of a song. In other words (and less pretentious ones at that), a music video. It is an art form to masterfully craft a compelling music video that both astounds and is interesting enough to entertain for its three-to-five-minute duration. There are some artists who pride themselves on interesting videos, making it as much of a priority as their music. Others simply rely on tried and true dialogues to base the theme of their video upon. The former makes the experience an enjoyable accompaniment to the aural experience talented musical artist can generate.
The radio lies. When it spouts its musical literature through our speakers, we get a perspective on the state of popular music for our city. But sometimes it seems to be the only portrait we have of a particular genre for the masses (and ourselves) to compare. Unfortunately for hip-hop music this often leads to stereotypes and plenty of auto tune. Luckily, the true brilliance of hip-hop in its poetic rhythm and disposition cannot be tainted by the less talented but more widely approved discography. There will always be those nausea-inducing tracks that can be heard pouring from certain stations and nightclubs, but the underlying culture of underground hip-hop is more creative and diverse than ever.
Being surprised is one of those rare emotions I don’t often succumb to. Often, I see it coming. Whether that be a great performance or a lackluster romantic conquest, there are usually signs along the way that pummel me with their clues. So to my utter delight, I love when great bars and establishments turn out to be a terrific venue for discovering new music. Take Phoenix’s FilmBar. The ecelctic movie theater-slash-bar showcases terrific and unique films every night of the week (save for Mondays -- They’re closed). Its stylish layout is complete with interesting artwork displayed on its walls to capture attention and intrigue. While independent films and documentaries are the focus, I was pleasantly surprised that great music is also a focal point for the local bar.

Judging by the warming sunshine and the smell of spring flowers in the air, spring is upon us. So while the air conditioners are slowly being activated across the city, the hay fever of springtime music mania has also begun. Many new albums are being released, and the air is finally warm enough to roll down the street with windows open and the music blasting full force. I am no stranger to this behavior, and there have been a few albums that have continually been on repeat these past few weeks. Every spring needs a soundtrack; these happen to be the standouts of my musical experience so far this season.
Local supporting local: There never was a sweeter statement. More importantly this is one of the best descriptions I can give of the local dive-bar treasure that is the Ice House Tavern. Located in central Phoenix, just west of Thomas Road and 40th Street, you’d never know the bar even existed without some sleuthing or recommendation via word of mouth. The bar/music venue is nestled snugly behind the Arcadia Ice Rink.
Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” and Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up” blare in succession from my computer speakers. These are first two songs that stream from the new KUKQ website dedicated to Arizona alternative music. It’s definitely a good start.
All week I have been the creepy music blogger obsessively pouring over the major event occurring two states away, and I have no shame. South By Southwest (more commonly referred to as SXSW) is officially under way, from March 9to 18within the vibrant musical mecca of Austin, Texas. SXSW is a beautiful conglomerate of the best in emerging media. It contains film, music and an
