Okay, so last week, in the comments section of an item we posted about Battleship Agenda’s search for a new singer, there was talk that Kyle Simmons, who fronts Speakeasy Tiger, had parted ways with the act. This claim seemed to be supported by vague comments on keytar player Pete…
The most inexplicably popular show on television returns with the second half of season one tonight. The episode is called “Hell-O” because all the songs they sing have either Hell or Hello in the title. Get it? In general, we’re open-minded about mass culture, but on this one we agree…
There’s something about an overcast Tuesday that makes it all but impossible to get anything done. On a day like today, you need a little pick-me-up to get your ass in gear. May we suggest the latest Savoy release? The three-track release has two new original tracks from Boulder’s finest…
A few months ago, Mike Marchant played a CD release show at the Meadowlark with A.Tom Collins, John Common and Ashley Raines. The show kind of turned out to be a misnomer. An unsaid illness prevented Marchant from finishing the album on time, and so he didn’t actually end up…
The above clip probably offers a better introduction to this article than we ever could: “(Hank Williams) is a feller that writes just as many songs as most anybody in the country, and sings them just as well, when it comes to the country style on singing.” Oh, right, and…
As this summer’s Red Rocks schedule begins to fill in, a few more were added this week, including Rush, who will be performing its epic 1981 album Moving Pictures in its entirety for the first time ever on the Time Machine Tour, which kicks off in June. The band, who…
Here what the area’s local-centric specialty radio shows were spinning this week. We’re currently tracking the playlists a number of different shows including, Radio 1190’s Local Shakedown*, KTCL’s Locals Only, The Colorado Sound, which originates at KRFC and is re-broadcast all over Colorado, 99.5 the Mountain’s Homegrown Show, and the…
Okay, smarty pants, since the inaugural edition of Guess Where I’m Peeing was clearly too easy — someone guessed correctly less than an hour after the snapshot was posted — we thought we’d make the next installment a little more difficult. Can you guess where we’re taking a leak this…
Insane Clown Posse’s new video for “Miracles” (see above) has been blowing up the Internet for a few days now. The ridiculous, syrupy rap song about the many “miracles” of existence, and more especially, the jaw-droppingly stupid video that accompanies it, lead to one, inescapable conclusion: the Insane Clown Posse…
While there were no clear winners across the board at local record stores, Erykah Badu took the top spot at Albums on the Hill, while Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings’ latest effort, I Learned the Hard Way, claimed the top slot at Twist & Shout for the week ending…
My goodness Pictureplane’s Travis Egedy is getting hard to keep track of these days. It seems like he’s dropping new mixes as quickly as we can talk about them. This weekend another one appeared in the mystical Internet cloud courtesy of a magazine called Dis…
The Big Pink • A Place to Bury Strangers • lo Echo • Boyhollow 04.11.10 | Bluebird Theater Boyhollow opened the show and set the stage for the rock bands that followed with a selection of songs that included some of the latter day melodic post-punk bands. He looked like…
The most important thing to take away from the second annual Fort Collins Music Experience is that it is wonderful: The year’s best tribute to a rich northern Colorado scene. The Experience’s insanely ambitious scope is only made more impressive when you consider that the thing is put together by…
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…
As people who think about, talk about, listen to and make music, the most common question we encounter is, “What are you listening to right now?” So whether you’re looking for recommendations, trying to get a feel for our individual sensibilities, or are just curious, we’ve compiled a list of…
This just in: In case you haven’t heard, 3OH!3 is having a house party tonight. In their house, apparently. Word has it, they intend to pour booze down their mouth. There’s also talk that they may, perhaps, if the mood strikes them, stay up until the wee hours of the…
This week’s dose of freak is of the trippy variety. It’s from an Australian sampling artist named Pogo, and what he’s done here is sampled tiny bits from the Disney animated Alice in Wonderland, and then built those snippets into a cyclic, psychedelic lullaby. With a video to match. Now,…
We may remember Malcolm McLaren, who passed away yesterday at the age of 64, as the manager of the Sex Pistols and New York Dolls, but he was also a musician and experimenter. Hell, he even created the song used in British Airways advertising for over fifteen years. His music…
King Khan & the Shrines • Fresh & Onlys • Eyes & Ears 04.08.2010 | Bluebird Theater When King Khan and Shrines played the Larimer Lounge about a year and a half ago, it was a tough show to shake. All those cats were sweaty and crammed on that stage,…
Mitya • Makeout Point • Night Owl 04.8.10 | Skylark Lounge This week, we’re trying out a new method of recapping shows wherein we pick out the most interesting things that happened and sort them in chronological order. They won’t all look like this, obviously, but we figure it can’t…
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…
Fansourcing: Although the textbook definition of the word applies more to having fans pitch in from a creative standpoint on a specific artistic endeavor, the term probably comes closest to describing this trend we’re seeing revived lately — employed previously by local groups like the Czars and, more recently, the…
