• The Download: New Mobius Band EP

  Last year, the Mobius Band gave its fans something to celebrate on Valentine's Day with its free covers EP, Love Will Reign Supreme. Apparently, the Brooklyn outfit is looking to make it a tradition, including renditions of Kanye West and the Dixie Chicks this time around. Download Empire of Love below, along with last year's V-Day mix, but a word of advice from the band: "Any girl worth her salt will prefer a good mix to a box of chocolates and flowers anyway. And put Bowie's "Modern Love"

  Honestly, now -- who could deny a marriage proposal from that guy? RocknRollDating.com is like Match.com for people who don't want to sift through all the cubicle stiffs in the quest for a real, live rocker boy or girl. Now, I'm pretty sure Architects frontman did not meet his wife through the Web site, but the story of their engagement does appear there. In a March 1 entry to RocknRollDating.com's Dates from Hell blog, Phillips relays the the tale of how he officially secured his woman's hear

• This week's "Best of Fat City": The Best of Everything

  ​The American Dream, in the 1950s, was to have the best of everything -- it was even the title of a 1959 movie! And guess what, people still want the best of everything, even in a difficult economic climate.
