The Flaming Lips know all about putting on a hell of a show, and the Monolith Festival gig at Red Rocks in 2007 was one most phenomenal things to happen to that venue in the last few years.

​As music critics, the most common question we get asked (and ask each other, for that matter) is, "What are you listening to?" The pervasiveness of this query is precisely what inspired Heavy Rotation, our latest feature. For the benefit of those who happen to be curious, we've compiled a list of ... More >>

Aaron ThackerayAnthrax ANTHRAX Cephalic Carnage • Havok 10.18.10 | Summit Music Hall, Denver Cephalic Carnage talks a lot about its love for THC-related products on stage.
