Hell hath no fury like a MILF scorned, and right now there most certainly are a couple of outraged cougars on the prowl around town. That's because 98 KUPD's annual MILF contest has chosen a lucky winner of a trip for two to Bamboozle Fest and $500 spending cash. That's right, the Valley's hottest MILF, Andrea, mother of a 4-year-old boy, beat out tons of contestants when it came time to role-play, kiss girls (for the first time!) and stick her hand down a midgets' pants.

"Well, it was my first time kissing a girl," Andrea says. "And when it comes to the ridicule from my more conservative friends and family . . . yes, it was probably the worst [part of the contest]."

Andrea doesn't plan on going to Bamboozle Fest ("The plane tickets are too expensive. They had a cash option, so I just went with that -- I mean, I'm a single mom!") and doesn't plan to enter the contest again next year. Which isn't to say she's not into hanging out with the Morning Sickness guys again in 2013.

"I wouldn't enter it again next year," she says, "but I get to come back to the studio and watch the 2013 contest, and help pick the new MILF, I think -- which could be pretty fun! I mean, it's KUPD. Those guys know what they're doing."

Top Ten Best You Asked For It Songs

IT_South_Park.jpeg
You Asked For It
​In creating last week's list of the ten worst You Asked For It songs, I found myself thinking, "Well, I better make a list of the ten best songs, too." It's been infinitely more fun to listen to some local music that I actually enjoyed rather than slog through some crappy, shoddily-produced album that made me question my very existence. While it may have been more fun, if you will, to write about those awful albums, it was ultimately a futile exercise.

Like they always say, "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all." In honor of this most important credo, I now present my list of the top ten best You Asked For It songs.

Top Ten Worst You Asked For It Songs

Pennywise(1).jpeg
You asked for It
​
By my estimations, I've been doing You Asked For It for over a year now -- just about 15 months. In that time, I have come across some really fresh, interesting new music from local, unsigned bands. Those albums have shown me that there is a very solid core of musicians in and around Phoenix/Tempe that just might have what it takes to move on to the next level of their careers. For some that simply means going on an extended tour of the west coast, for others that might mean simply getting signed to a label. Whatever the case may be, I have heard a lot of music that has given me lots of hope for the local music scene.

Conversely, I've also heard far too many painfully awful records in my time at the helm of YAFI. I honestly remember some of the truly terrible albums more than I do the good ones. That's my own sad, masochistic problem, but hey -- why not force my problem on you all and make a list of the ten worst songs in my time as commander-in-chief of YAFI? Join me on a trip down memory lane as I revisit some of the more painful YAFI songs.

The Unlucky 8s: Leave It Be EP

Leave It Be Cover Art.jpeg
The Unlucky 8s - Leave It Be EP
​Artist: The Unlucky 8s

Title: Leave It Be EP

Basics: Well, looks like it's back to some more old guy garage rock for this week's YAFI. Thankfully, these rock bands with decidedly older members know a goddamn thing or two about recording good music, and The Unlucky 8s are no exception. Their sound is self-described as "flavored with dashes of garage and power-pop and the kind of heart-on-their-sleeve lyrics that will haunt you late at night." 

I've been doing YAFI for some time now, but I've yet lose sleep over a lyric that I've heard. Well, maybe a lyric or two from Pride of the Garage's Dan Miles -- but those didn't necessarily make me lose sleep as much as lose some of my sanity.

Stellacutta: Stellacutta EP

Stellacutta.png
Stellacutta
​Artist: Stellacutta

Title: 2-song self-titled EP, containing the tracks "Schadenfreude" and "Inching The Foot"

Basics: Stellacutta are an young, unsigned 5-piece band from Tempe whose members all study music at Arizona State University. The band describes their current mission as wanting to get the word out about their music, but also -- in a most noble manner -- just sincerely wanting to give people great creative music to listen to.

Well, how about that? Some much-needed humility from an unsigned YAFI band. I wish that was always the case, yet there's always a Fat Tree for that.

Covela: Covela EP

Covela
​Artist: Covela

Title: Covela EP

Basics: Covela basics. 

I kid. Covela is described as having a "driven, melodic rock sound has been paralleled to Paramore, Jimmy Eat World, Muse and The Killers." The comparisons to Paramore make plenty sense as the band plays rock music with a female lead singer -- Sarah Drinkwine. Before I glanced at the band's bio, I had already made my own Paramore deductions. As is the case with many a YAFI band struggling to form an identity, they can easily rely on their talented lead singer to help solidify things. Covela would best suited, then, to hitch their wagons to Drinkwine's talents.

Warren L. Jones III - I Imagine So...

IImagineSo.jpeg
Warren L. Jones III - I Imagine So...
​Artist: Warren L. Jones III

Title: I Imagine So...

Basics: What say you to a YAFI first -- at least for my tenure? That's right, I'm talking about some smooth, uncensored jazz. No more pop punk or countrified rock. Just the sweet, dulcet tones of Warren L. Jones III and his supporting cast. 

Jones has a long, impressive history in music, spending 30 years as a professional bassist, composer, clinician and teacher. He is a Jazz Bass performance graduate of the Arizona State University School of Music and was an adjunct faculty member of both the ASU and MCC jazz departments.

Warren L. Jones III, it's safe to say, knows his jazz.

Third and Maryland: Wednesday

WednesdayMaryland.jpeg
Third and Maryland: Wednesday
​Artist: Third and Maryland

Title: Wednesday

Basics: Billed as "funk-based blues and straight-ahead rock n' roll," Third and Maryland (TAM) play more blues than rock on their first full-length. The majority of the album is stripped-down, mellow rock with a few upbeat tracks bookending everything. This all leads to an unfortunately disjointed effort that feels more like their previously YAFI-reviewed three-song EP with six tracks of filler thrown in for good measure.

Every band likes to have fun with their self-written (I assume) bios on MySpace and Facebook. However, citing Charlie Sheen and "winning" as both influences and bands they like, TAM have taken things to a ridiculously stupid level. Charlie Sheen is an ass. It's not funny anymore. Actually, it was never funny.

Fat Tree: The Great Give & Take

FatTreeGive.jpg
Fat Tree - The Great Give & Take
​Artist: Fat Tree

Title: The Great Give & Take

Basics: Originally from Alamogordo, New Mexico, Gilbert's Fat Tree are billed as a rock/funk/jam band. Nowhere in there, however, is the descriptor "painfully white," because that's what I can't help but hear when I listen to this album -- a bunch of white dudes trying to play what they call "funk." Furthering this notion, the band has this offer about themselves: 

Every once in a while, a band comes along that restores your faith in the future of popular music. That band needs to get you to bob your head, shake your hips, and close your eyes and take you to that escape from the stresses of your day. Fat Tree is such a band. 

Kidding or not, that is just not funny or quirky or whatever. Nor is it true.

Eddy Detroit: Street Of Dreams Single & Ghetto Cafe EP

Ghetto Cafe 2CD.jpeg
Eddy Detroit - Street of Dreams
​Artist: Eddy Detroit

Title: Street of Dreams & Ghetto Cafe

Basics: Detroit sent us both a 2-song Street of Dreams CD single, if you will, as well as Ghetto Cafe, a 6-song album/EP. The former is from 2010, the latter 2009. Detroit has quite a history in Phoenix - a quick bio on Last.fm reveals this: 

Elusive, exotic rock artist. Collaborated with Sun City Girls' Alan+Richard Bishop on the album 'Immortal Gods' and it is now considered a cult classic. He self released Immortal Gods and another album on his own Pan Records, his final album 'Jungle Captive' was released on Majora in 1997. His records are increasingly hard to find, but he is believed to still be playing today. 

Oh he is still playing today, and his music is just as quirky and irreverent as it ever was.
