So, Lost is over. For a whole lot of us, that means we now have a distinct lack of twisting, deep narrative and wacky Island mystery in our lives, not to mention an hour a week to fill watching and several more discussing, dissecting and theorizing about, as well as…
Wow! Seriously, just freaking wow! Someone finally captured the breathtaking grandeur of Sigur Rós — or more specifically in this case, jónsi — with images that are equally as striking. An extremely gifted gentleman from Los Angeles named Sean Stiegemeier blessed his fellow netizens with this gorgeous footage that he…
File this one under: Worst. News. Ever. Well, unless you don’t count yourself as a fan of U2, that is. We’ve just learned that one of the most highly anticipated concerts of the summer, due at Invesco field on Saturday, June 12, has been postponed until sometime in 2011. Although…
We found the above gem while wandering around the comic store yesterday — it appears to be some type of (unauthorized?) biography of Lady Gaga. Unfortunately, mom didn’t give us enough loot to actually buy it, so we’ll never know for sure. What we do know, however, is that this…
Fifteen years ago, the sexually charged acid house group Lords of Acid and the legendary industrial act My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult teamed up for the Sextacy Ball tour. The two acts are joining forces again this summer for a reincarnation of that tour which hits the Ogden…
In possibly one of the strangest bills yet, we’ve just learned that KISS is slated to kick off this year’s Cheyenne Frontier Days and rodeo on Friday, July 23. The other acts on the bill, we think you’ll agree, are slightly less incongruous: Brooks & Dunn, Aaron Tippin & Neal…
The Black Keys’ fifth studio disc, Brothers, released last week on Nonesuch, grabbed the top spots at Albums on the Hill and Twist & Shout, while coming in at second at Independent Records. The Rolling Stones’ re-mastered Exile on Main St. , also released last week, was also a strong…
It’s no secret that the Internet is a safe-harbor for niche markets and small groups, but that doesn’t mean some of them can’t be extremely helpful in a pinch. Sample-spotting is one that has been incredibly helpful to us on numerous occasions. More and more hip-hop is moving into the…
Lil Slugger • Hot White • Good Old Fashioned Sinners 05.22.10 | Rhinoceropolis Evidently, this was some sort of reunion show for openers Good Old Fashioned Sinners, or perhaps just a coming out of hibernation party. The foursome — looking like they could’ve been in Alice Bowie — launched to…
3OH!3 • Cobra Starship • Travie McCoy • I Fight Dragons05.21.10 | Fillmore Auditorium “We just released another new song on iTunes,” says Nat Motte, riding the fervor of the crowd, pacing back and forth across the stage. “It’s called (pause for effect) ‘Touchin On My’!” The animatronic wolves with…
We unleashed photog Aaron Thackeray on the city this weekend, and he came back with hundreds of photos from Friday’s 3OH!3/Cobra Starship concert, an after-party at Suite 200, the Cuervo Games on Saturday and the Cannabis Cub on Sunday. See the photos at westword.com/slideshow…
We would hate for you to miss out on all the awesome that happens every weekend in our fair city, so we’ve decided to run down five of the best shows in one easy-to-swallow post, with video and audio. Tell us — and the rest of the world — what…
This week’s signs of the music industry’s apocalypse: 1. The National had the highest selling debut album in the country this week, good for number three overall (behind Justin Beiber and Lady Antebellum). 2. This was the worst week for album sales since SoundScan started keeping track in 1991. Q:…
Well, hello there! Guess Where I’m Peeing is making its triumphant return after nearly a month’s hiatus. What can we say — we can really hold it when we need to. For its glorious return, we chose a location with just a touch of class — a touch. It’s not…
Call us homers if you must, but sometimes we just can’t get over how unbelievably badass the music scene is in this town. Sure, like any other place, we have a seemingly endless supply of crappy also rans and probably-never-will-be’s, but for every five of those, we have a Solar…
This Friday night at Cervantes’ Other Side with his ManeLine co-hort Deejay Tense, Mane Rok is set to drop The Ugly Truth, his eagerly anticipated solo debut. Recorded, engineered and mixed by 3 the Hardway’s Es Nine over the course of the past six months at his House of Waxx…
Is there any better way to introduce kids to the love of Jesus than a freakish man in pink coveralls singing and dancing around and a talking donut puppet with a predilection for terrible puns? If there is, we don’t want to know about it. Today’s clip comes from a…
As Red Rocks is gearing up for its set of summer shows, we decided to do a little bit of research about its vibrant history. Not surprisingly, we learned that the ancient venue has its fair share of myths and rumors, many of which we’ve collected below. Feel free to…
This week’s Rough Mixes entry focusing on Emily Frembgen contained excerpts of our recent chat with the singer-songwriter, who’s packing up her guitar at the end of June and heading by to New York. Luckily she’s not leaving us empty-handed: Her new CD, Always With You, is a gorgeous disc…
Every Friday we spotlight the hottest cats (and kittens) behind the decks in the MHC, grilling them to gain some insight on what it takes, exactly, to get the party rocking, to find out about their most treasured crate digging experiences and what they really think when we stumble up…
Pitbull’s show at 1stBank Center originally scheduled for Tuesday, May 25 has been postponed to Thursday, July 22 due to scheduling conflicts. Tickets for the May 25 show will be honored for the July 22 show or refunds are available at point of purchase. Reserved tickets also ($32.50-$45) are still…
Earlier this month, with very little fanfare, SP Double, one of the area’s more promising MCs, picked up stakes and headed for the notably sunnier confines of South Florida. The move comes just as SP — who just inked a deal with Digital Dollar, an independent imprint from the Sunshine…
