When the crack epidemic hit the streets in the ’80s, it changed the social constructs of a generation. Not only did it birth a legion of children with addicted parents, but from Jay-Z to Rick Ross, it also served as thematic fodder for some of rap’s biggest names. Like hip-hop,…
All right, Juggalos, shit’s getting out of hand now. We just saw some pictures of our dude Method Man with his face bloodied after apparently catching some sort of projectile in the face this past weekend while performing at the now infamous 11th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos. What the…
So it turns out Justin Bieber does have a purpose after all (well, a purpose beyond being annoying and giving pre-pubescent girls their first crush object). A musician by the name of Nick Pittsinger took Bieber’s “U Smile,” slowed it down 800 percent as a joke and inadvertently created a…
RUSH 8.16.10 | Red Rocks Amphitheater It’s taken more than three decades for Rush to refine its approach to stadium rock, and the long gestation period has paid off. The Canadian trio’s three-hour set at Red Rocks Monday night showed just how carefully the band has constructed its approach to…

Hey there! Welcome back to our completely irregular and totally random feature, Guess Where I’m Peeing. If you can guess the location correctly, you win, well, nothing — but at least you’ll have the satisfaction of being right at least once today…
Arcade Fire’s latest effort, The Suburbs, continues to dominate the local charts, claiming the top spots at Albums on the Hill, Twist & Shout and Wax Trax for the week ending August 15. Los Lobos’ Tin Can Trust, released August 3 on Shout! Factory, performed well, as did Wolf Parade’s…
Today is the anniversary of Elvis’s death in 1977, and last week, an auction of possibly the most gruesome memorabilia of all time was planned to capitalize on the King’s untimely demise. The very same autopsy/embalming tools used to prep the King’s final appearance, plus the toe tag identifying him,…
Over the weekend, as you’ve no doubt heard, Tila Tequila got pelted with rocks and all sorts of random projectiles at the 11th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos at Cave-In Rock, Illinois. The reaction from the Juggalo family this morning has been split so far; some are proud to have…
Little did the guys from the Knew know when they picked up a trio of pinatas on Federal this past Friday for their show at the Mile High Music Festival this past weekend that they’d be such a hit. In anticipation of their early afternoon set on the Bison Stage,…

My Morning Jacket opened up its set with “Tonight I Want To Celebrate With You” and followed that up with “Gideon” and then “Anytime and “Magheeta.” Jim James wove gorgeous guitar lines while jamming in and out of songs, meandering from place to place. The outfit played “Golden,” faded drum…
Weezer, 6:45 p.m. on the Wolf Stage A piercing series of guitar lines, the push of a pounding drum line and synchronized singing syllables lent an epic feel to the beginning of Weezer’s set. As soon as Rivers Cuomo and company took the stage, it seemed the band was working…
As I crossed the festival grounds toward the Bison tent, where BoomBox was scheduled, I caught strains of Matt Morris and his amazing voice, and Ozomatli getting their reggae-style funk on. I reached my destination just as BoomBox took the stage and immediately knew I was in for a good…
Train brought back the alterna-ballad ’90s (acknowledging that most of the band’s output has taken place within the last ten years, I still think the band sounds more like the Goo Goo Dolls or Counting Crows than anything much that’s happening now) with a set that left heartfelt emotion to…
