• The real rockstars of Supernova win!

And today they won. Press release says: Under the terms of the settlement, the Orange County rockers will continue to retain the rights to the name "Supernova."

• Think for Yourselves, Young Folks, so Long as You Think Like Me

  You know what's funny? We ask our young adults to throw themselves into the youth versions of established adult institutions—your governmental bodies, your newspapers, etc.—but when the kids dare express dissent or themselves in a way that rubs the ruling class the wrong way, the adult overlords crack down on the kids. Case in point: the Orange Coast College student government. For whatever reason, the student body officers decided they would no longer say the Pledge of Allegiance be

• OC Family Charging OK City Bombing Cover-Up Wins Lawsuit Against Uncle Sam!

  The family of an Orange County man who died under mysterious circumstances in an Oklahoma federal prison more than a decade ago has just won its lawsuit against the U.S. Justice Department. On March 31, the US District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma ruled that the family of Kenneth Trentadue had suffered severe emotional distress as a result of his bizarre death, which prison officials claim was a suicide-by-hanging. A big part of their stress: seeing the bruises, footprints and oth

  Full tour dates have finally been announced for archetypal OC success stories No Doubt's tour with Paramore--we've known for a while that they were going on tour at some point and the first date would be May 3 at the Bamboozle Festival in NJ, but now we've got the whole sched, and the three month-ish tour will close out with two dates at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine--where they had a mini-reunion during the encore of one of Gwen Stefani's solo shows back in June 2007--on July 31 a

• Ben Weasel at the Knitting Factory

  I know this has nothing to do with Orange County, but once I overheard people mention they came from Salt Lake City to see this show, I figured I was in the clear. Anyway...Ben Weasel, frontman for pop-punk bands Screeching Weasel and the Riverdales (and now a solo artist), played his first two shows EVER in Los Angeles this weekend. I went to the Saturday show and felt something I had felt at a punk show in more than a decade: excitement and fun.

• How an Anaheim Burger Joint Changed Utah Tastes Forever--and the NY Times Ripped Off an Alt-Weekly

  A Crown Burgers location...​The New York Times has an article today about how people in Utah apparently love pastrami on their burgers more than anywhere else in the country, something shocking to me because I thought all the state subsided on was Jell-O. But a fascinating local connection is buried in the piece. Reporter John T. Edge profiles Crown Burgers, a small chain run by a Greek family he credits with introducing pastrami burgers to the Beehive State. The Katsanevas clan admits a decea

• OC-Raised Lawyer Says New FBI Footage Shows OK City Bombing Coverup

  ​On March 31, 2008, Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue won an unprecedented legal victory over the FBI in his years-old lawsuit to force the agency to hand over everything it has on the mysterious death of his brother, former Westminster resident Kenneth Trentadue. That day, the US District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma ruled that Trentadue and other family members had suffered severe emotional distress as a result of Kenneth's bizarre death at the Federal Transfer Center nea
