  Update (1/23/09): We've just learned that Common Struggles, Single File's full-length debut, is slated for release on Tuesday, April 7. "Girlfriend," the first single from the album, which was produced by Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, All-American Rejects) and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge (Stones, Weezer), is being serviced to Denver radio a month earlier than the rest of the country. As previously reported, the band will be hitting the road with Alkaline Trio and Anberlin as part of the innagu

• How doomed is the Broomfield Event Center?

  The Denver Business Journal is reporting that Tim Wiens wants out of his agreement to manage the Broomfield Event Center, which opened in 2006 -- and that's not good news for local officials. The city bankrolled the 6,000-seat arena with $60 million worth of bonds that are supposed to be repaid from tax revenue from the facility. But things are so bad money-wise that Broomfield Sports, the firm Wiens runs with partner John Frew, couldn't even afford to pay the center's utility bill in November a

• This Just In: blink-182 reuninon tour hits Fiddler's in September

  If the date on the band's MySpace page and the press release we received from the publicist of one of the supporting acts is to be believed, blink-182's much ballyhooed reunion tour is slated to make a stop at Fiddler's Green on Sunday, September 6, with Weezer and Taking Back Sunday in tow. To see what you're in for, check out a clip from the act's first show back, a secret show at T-Mobile Sidekick LX's launch party on the Paramount Lot in LA last week.

• Broomfield Event Center on life support

  The Broomfield Event Center has been twisting since at least earlier this year, when Tim Wiens announced that he wanted out of his contract to manage the venue -- a lack-of-success story almost from its opening in 2006. And while the willingness of Anschutz Entertainment Group/Kroenke Sports Enterprises, a joint venture of two big moneymen in the area, to run the facility is good news for the city of Broomfield, which bankrolled the arena with $60 million worth of bonds, it's hardly a panacea.

• Spinner dubs Boulder's Biafra one of music's 10 biggest geeks

  ​AOL's music blog, Spinner.com, posted a list late last week titled "Revenge of the Rock Nerds: The 10 Biggest Geeks in Music." Between such dorky songsmiths as Talking Heads' David Byrne (#10) and Weezer's Rivers Cuomo (#1) lies former Dead Kennedys frontman and longtime Bay Area fixture Jello Biafra (#8), who is cited by Spinner's staff for his "obnoxious persona and politically charged lyrics." Curiously, Spinner also goes out of its way to mention how the adolescent Biafra's "anti-establis

• What do you know -- there's still life in the old Weezer after all.

  ​All right, just when I completely gave up all hope that Weezer would ever again write a song that I'd dig -- seriously, I just had a conversation yesterday with a friend of mine in which I asserted that Weezer just needed to hang it up already -- Rivers Cuomo goes and pens another ode to worthy of affection. Friends, behold the magnificent "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To," a jubilant, finger-snapping tune flush with the bombast of the act's finest moments and stripped of
