It’s that time again — just like clockwork.

Today in Backbeat Online: • The jukebox effect. • Former Break Mechanics MC, P.A.A.S., to step off the stage for good? • Whygee capitalizes on CMJ Chart placement. • Flier of the week: Laura Goldhamer at the Oriental Theater.

Today in Cafe Society: • Aix marked the spot that will soon be Olivea. • Behind the scenes at Katie Mullen’s.

Today in The Latest Word: • KOA’s Dave Logan and Alvertis Simmons engage in verbal smackdown over Mullen slurs. • Da Boogieman turns down offer to return to KOOL 105. • Dick Wadhams has a greeting for Barack Obama. • Thomas Friedman greenspeaks in Boulder. • Colorado conservatives’ porkiest anti-stimulus protest ever. For those on the right, it was hog heaven.
