Poetry flows from Chicago hip-hop artist and Talib Kweli protege K'Valentine. Whether she's rapping about fucking while hip-hop plays on a stereo, her longing for Atlanta (a city she likens to a guy with nappy hair and gold teeth), the anti-Chi-Raq movement, mentoring a new generation of artists, her family...

There's no greater ambassador for cycling in Denver than Brad Evans, the man behind the Denver Cruiser Ride, an event scheduled on Wednesday nights from mid-May through the end of September (including tonight) during which costumed participants bring outdoor fun and unbridled joy to the streets of the Mile High...
Paul Hamilton owns one of the country's largest private collections of African art, which fills his three-story Five Points home: up the stairs, down in the basement, out in the garage. Over 800 artifacts are stashed into every crevice imaginable. Now artist and photographer Thomas Evans has brought Hamilton's collection to...
IPAs are still the top selling style among craft beer drinkers by far, making up nearly a third of the craft market, and Colorado breweries have long specialized in hoppy beers like these. Odell, Oskar Blues, Avery, Great Divide and Ska Brewing all made their names in part because of...

Do we call Anthropoid a thriller? Sean Ellis' earnest, day-ruining WWII bullet-a-thon is rooted in fact but comes on like pulp fiction in its first reels, hitting secret-mission story beats old enough to have served in the big war.

Claudia didn’t think anything was wrong when United States Customs and Border Protection agents flagged her for an in-depth security screening after the early-morning flight from her native Chile landed at Los Angeles International Airport early on October 8, 2015. “It’s normal,” she says. “Sometimes the officers review people.” Besides,...
Earlier this week, we reported about a letter written by three state legislators in which they asked Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy, an organization opposing a measure there that would legalize limited recreational marijuana sales, to stop airing a commercial filled with alleged falsehoods about Colorado's cannabis experience. The dubious...
An inordinately large proportion of Colorado’s art-exhibition venues — including alternative spaces, galleries, museums and art centers — are located within the relatively confined area of central Denver. We’re talking about approximately 80 percent of the art infrastructure in the entire state. And while a number of surrounding suburbs and...
Like the rambling fixer-upper at its heart, Merchant Ivory's Howards End has aged quite well, and not just because of the brightened-up 4K restoration from Cohen Media Group. It's brisk and funny, prim but open-minded, testy about pomposity even as it exemplifies what once was the most pompous of all...
Rosenberg’s Bagels & Delicatessen came roaring back into Five Points a week ago, greeting long Sunday lines again after a five-month closure following a fire.

The Denver Police Department is gathering intelligence on activists around town — and there’s good reason for that concern. Not only have police officers been paying close attention to social-media posts, but in early 2016 the department purchased subscriptions to a powerful social-media monitoring tool called Geofeedia, which was used by law enforcement agencies across the country to monitor protests and other actions.
Landscape painter Joellyn Duesberry quickly became a fixture of the Colorado art scene after she first came west from New York in 1986. Now the artist, who lived in Greenwood Village, has died after a long struggle with cancer. Born in 1944 in Richmond, Virginia, Duesberry became interested in art...

From his beginnings with the group Kids These Days to his collaborations with Chance the Rapper in the collective Savemoney, right through to his recent team-up with Damon Albarn’s virtual...
The phrase “Den-Mex” may have been coined by out-of-towner Gustavo Arellano in 2012, when the author of Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America praised Chubby’s on West 38th Avenue for the sheer weirdness of its Mexican hamburger, but those of us who live here already knew what makes this...
Imagine this scenario: You’re on the brewery bus tour, hopping from taproom to taproom, trying out new beers and getting a nice buzz on without worrying about driving — and then you notice that the bus driver is drinking, too. In fact, he’s been matching you pint for pint. Would...
Meat candles. Two words I never thought I would ever utter in the same sentence, yet lo and behold, with more than one restaurant in the Centennial State offering this oddly edible treat, it appears we have a trend on our hands. Keep in mind though: normal wax candles belong...

Last week, Burke Ramsey, older brother of JonBenét Ramsey, who was murdered in her Boulder home on Christmas Day of 1996, sued Dr. Werner Spitz, a Michigan-based forensic pathologist, for $150 million. The focus of the complaint was Dr. Spitz's assertion in a CBS Detroit interview flowing from the network docuseries The...
When you’re a solid six out of ten in the looks department, you have to break outside the box to get a pretty, popular girl’s attention. I’ve tried acting like the funny guy or Mr. Sensitive, to little avail. And, of course, I’ve played the “Everyone thinks you’re hot but...
