Live Review: Weezer, Angels & Airwaves and Toyko Police Club at the Broomfield Event Center

Vintage Q&A with Nathan Willett of Cold War Kids
...music had divided the critical establishment -- a development epitomized by a nasty Pitchfork piece in which the writer compared Willett unfavorably to widely scoffed-at American Idol soul patroller Taylor Hicks.
