• Another winner in Fader's vinyl single series

  Magazine promotions don't get much cooler than Fader's vinyl single series, produced in conjunction with Southern Comfort, which presses edgy indie music on old-school jukebox 45s. The seventh offering is a case in point. The A-side features Brooklyn-based Telepathe, whose "Heat" raises temperatures with a monstrous synth riff that makes dancing mandatory. And Brooklyn gets more love on the flip thanks to 77Klash, whose "Caroline" combines post-millennial Jamaican-style toasting with a beat r

• Chairlift continues its ascent... upward, of course.

  Photo: Jason Klauber All right so how freaking rad is this? The mailman just laid the new copy of Spin on me, the Best of 2008 issue with TV on the Radio on the cover. And as I'm thumbing through it, I notice very few surprises: Black Kids, Vampire Weekend, Deerhunter and Santogold, all receive nods as expected, as do the cover boys, whose Dear Science platter has been anointed album of the year by the Spinsters (thus co-signing Rolling Stone's earlier likewise endorsement). Perusing the res

• Stereogum's Xmas gift for you

  In an admirable show of Christmas spirit, MP3 blog Stereogum has thoughtfully compiled a list of its top 50 downloaded tracks of the year. Even more thoughtfully, they've zipped all 50 of the files into one conveniently downloadable archive! Among the gems are a radical Diplo deconstruction/remix of Radiohead's "Reckoner," selections from year-end-list favorites such as Hercules and Love Affair, Fleet Foxes and Crystal Stilts, and even a track from Brooklyn-via-Boulder outfit Chairlift. It take

• Q&A with William Elliott Whitmore

  "William Elliott Whitmore Stretches the Definition of Hardcore," a profile in the January 22 edition of Westword, only scratches the surface of an enjoyable and revealing Q&A with this deep-voiced roots-and-folk purveyor, who shares more in common with punk rockers than just his record label. (He's signed to Anti-, an affiliate of Epitaph.) Check it out after the jump.

• Beyond Playlist: Chairlift - Does You Inspire You

  Chairlift Does You Inspire You Columbia Records Though it's no fun to watch talented Colorado musicians leave our fair state for glimmering destinations like Portland or Brooklyn, it is fun to watch them succeed. Such is the case for Boulder-founded synth poppers, Chairlift. Shortly after lighting off for the hipster Disneyland of Brooklyn, Caroline Polacheck, Aaron Pfenning and Patrick Wimberly had a song licensed for an iPod commercial and caught the attention of Columbia Records. Does You

  Davie's Chuck Wagon Diner, by Brian Butko.​I know from diners; they are my natural habitat. And Colorado has some classics. Johnson's Corner was one of the first places I visited when I first went west of the Mississippi, and it remains a favorite even post-renovation. My recent meals at Silver Creek Diner got me thinking about diners again. The list that follows includes my top ten (yes, Sam's No. 3 counts twice) diners in the metro area:

• Q&A with Conrad Keely of ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

  ​The past two years have served as a period of transition for ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of the Dead. After splitting with Interscope Records in 2008, the Austin-based sextet started their own label and drew on its own funds to record and release its latest effort, Century of Self, which boasts a decidedly rougher and edgier feel than the group's earlier material. We caught up with Trail of Dead frontman Conrad Keely to discuss the band's new directions, his recent move to Brooklyn f
