Best pizza
Photo: Phil Skinner, [email protected] Yes, it’s that time again. Let’s talk about pizza. It’s been almost two-and-a-half years since we last asked about pizza in Atlanta, so we definitely need to update this one. It’s said that even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good. But why eat bad pizza when there’s so much good stuff out there? First, we need to know where to find that amazing pizza. That’s where you come in. Whether it’s thin and crispy or thick and chewy, we want to hear about your favorite place for a slice (or a… >>

Morrissey cancels Atlanta show at Cobb Energy Centre
Morrissey performed Jan. 9 in Greenvale, N.Y. Photo: Getty Images After being diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer, Morrissey has scrapped six upcoming tour dates, including Thursday at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. Billboard first reported the canceled dates; the tour is slated to resume Feb. 9 in Las Vegas. Hang tight for updates from Cobb Energy regarding a rescheduled date and/or refunds. Though no fault of Morrissey’s, the cancelation is a double sting for fans, as this date was a makeup for his December concert at Cobb Energy. At the time, the former Smith’s frontman nixed several shows in order… >>

Justin Bieber: The prince of the pop machine brings spectacle to Philips
Behold…the Biebs! Photo: Robb D. Cohen/ www.RobbsPhotos.com It’s amusing – and a little sad – when you consider how Beyoncegate has incited so much finger pointing from the Transparency Police about her choice to sing the national anthem to a pre-recorded track (not lip-sync – there is a difference) at Monday’s presidential inauguration. Those bothered by this incredibly common practice have branded her with a scarlet F (for fake). Yet we live in an era when that practice by our pop stars isn’t only accepted, but expected. Justin Bieber is a prime example. The kid… >>

The evolution of Keane: ‘We’re quite a different outfit’
The dashing fellows of Keane. Photos: Alex Lake The last time Keane played Atlanta, there were only three members in the band, they were riding the success of their debut album, “Hopes and Fears” with the songs “Somewhere Only We Know” and “Everybody’s Changing,” and frontman Tom Chaplin was on the brink of entering rehab for drug abuse. That was 2005, when the then-trio performed at Music Midtown and The Tabernacle. Now, as they ready to return to The Tabernacle on Thursday (ticket info below), Keane is a quartet, they’re still touring behind last year’s excellent but mostly-ignored… >>

George Jones sets Atlanta date for final tour

Friday Riffs: Tailgating songs for Sunday
What I really wanted to do this week was cultivate a playlist of game day songs relating to falcons. That thought started and ended with Billy Falcon’s semi-hit from 1991, “Power Windows.” Who knew that falcons were in such short lyrical supply? So instead I asked some friends and Twitter followers for their best tailgating song suggestions and received some familiar – but always good for the adrenaline – responses: Queen’s “We Will Rock You”; AC/DC’s “For Those About To Rock (We Salute You); Beastie Boys, “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)”; .38 Special’s “Hold on Loosely… >>

“American Idol” season 12 debut recap
This is the holding spot for tonight’s season 12 debut of “American Idol.” Three new judges may spice things up but will it help stem viewer erosion? Anyway, there’s 10-minute intro/opener featuring Phillip Phillips performing “Home,” a cavalcade of the big stars the show has generated plus quick bios of the judges. Eventually, we get around to New York auditions, first with a goofy auditioner who walked in singing “We Will Rock You” while Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey were gabbing endlessly about Nicki’s hat. Then we get to the first decent singer: – Tenna Torres of Queens, who… >>

Jermaine Dupri announces So So Def anniversary concert
The So So Def crew. Photos: Melissa Ruggieri Two decades ago, Jermaine Dupri debuted So So Def Recordings and first exposed the country to Xscape, the female R&B group who quickly ascended the charts with “Just Kickin’ It” and “Understanding.” Who would have ever thought that one of its members – Kandi Burruss – would one day be infamous not so much for her legitimate music talents, but for starring in a top-rated reality show? Now, 20 years later, Burruss is a household name, while thousands of music fans still groove to the sounds of So So Def’s laundry… >>
