pilfered from myspace David Guetta November 20, 2008 Beta David Guetta is popular. Of the many DJs I’ve seen at Beta, I think tonight was the most crowded, with the possible exceptions of Danny Tenaglia and maybe Richie Hawtin, which were close. It was so crowded I was constantly being walked into, stepped on, spilled on and rubbed against. Dancing was difficult, apart from sort of nodding and bobbing in place. Hell, breathing was difficult half the time. And the crowd was really oblivio
November 21, 2008Your Friday distraction is here
Go ahead and play, it's not like you were getting anything done today anyway Now that lunch is but a dim memory and beer o' clock is still hours away, you need something to distract you from the grinding horror that is your work day. May we humbly suggest Auditorium, a beautiful, trippy music game that you can play in your browser? The object is simple, to fill the audio meters by redirecting streams of "particles" to intersect with them. The execution is entrancing, as there are nearly infi
November 21, 2008Beyond Playlist: The Rapture
The RaptureTapesK7! The Rapture flexes its DJ muscles and delivers an intriguing mix of old school rap, funk, disco, house and straight-up weirdness. Mixing old-school classics with more contemporary material, the group shows an impressive breadth and depth of taste and influences. Among the highlights are obscure gems like the Martin Circus track "Disco Circus" and Vaughn Mason & Crew's "Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll" alongside more recognizable names like Armand Van Helden and Thomas Bangalt

So, what have the Hot IQs been up to? The answer to that question will apparently be revealed on Friday, December 19, when the new video is premiered and the act's 7-inch is released at an all-ages show at the Bluebird with local-scene luminaries the Chain Gang of 1974, Young Coyotes and Team Firefox. You should be able to get all the info at the Hot IQs MySpace page. After the jump, you can preview the video, which includes some sweet crotch shots, mannequin makeout sessions and other assorted
December 1, 2008Q&A with Jonathan Coulton
Geek icon and Internet rock star Jonathan Coulton is set to make his first appearance in Denver on January 17, at the Soiled Dove. In anticipation of his first concert in the Mile High city, Coulton was kind enough to sit down with us to talk about his beginnings as a code monkey, his inspirations for his music and what kind of a geek he was in high school. The short version of the Jonathan Coulton story can be found here. For the full, in-depth Q&A, hit the jump.

April 20, 2009Black Market Empire comes alive
Photo by Cory Casciato The recorded tunes of Black Market Empire simply do not do the band justice. Before Saturday, I was familiar with the band only from its three MySpace tracks, which were decent if somewhat uninspired retro new wave that conjured up such '80s stalwarts as the Cure, Duran Duran and more obscure acts (is that a Fiat Lux influence?) without really bringing anything new to the mix. Not to say that they sound bad -- if anything, it's that the sound is a little too perfectly 1988
May 4, 2009Former Machine Gun Blues singer to enter the ring as a luchador
Photo by Cory Casciato The late, lamented Machine Gun Blues was a band known not only for its raucous, high-energy rock and roll but for the intensely theatrical and physical performances of its frontman Aaron Collins, who would get naked, throw himself around the stage, often careening into the audience and end up covered in beer, sweat and, on particularly epic occasions, blood. Now that that group has disbanded, Collins is embarking on another intensely theatrical and physical gig -- he'll be

May 14, 2009Westword Music Showcase Awards Wrap Up
David BarberJohn Baxter and Matty Clark in the fleshThe picture above pretty much tells the tale of last night's Westword Music Showcase Awards -- drunk and debaucherous. Everyone (well, we think everyone -- we didn't exactly take a formal poll or anything) had a pretty swell time. Hugs were smiles were plentiful, as was the booze that flowed freely before the ceremony kicked off. There were a few miscues, but all in all everything went off without a hitch. Special thanks to all the folks who gr
July 14, 2009Over the weekend: UMS Festival
Julie Davis of Bela Karoli (A.H. Goldstein)Last night, the four-day UMS festival wrapped, and most of our crew made it out for at least part of the fest. And while we rarely agree on anything, we're all pretty much in agreement that Danielle Ate the Sandwich absolutely stole the show with one of the breakout performances of the fest. Other highlights included Boba Fett and the Americans guerilla style marching band performances outside the Skylark and hi-dive on a drizzly Saturday night, whic

August 4, 2009Q&A with Josh Weinberg of The Website is Down
If you spend a lot of time surfing the Internets for lulz or work in any sort of IT-related field, you've probably come across the Webby-award winning web series The Website is Down. It's a hilarious look at the point where the people who understand technology and make it work interface with those who do not understand it, but rely on it to do their jobs. This eternal struggle is eloquently captured in the premiere episode, "Sales Guy vs. Web Dude," wherein poor communication and a misund

September 16, 2009Win tickets to see Daedelus tonight at the Bluebird
All right, anybody feel like turning this Monday into Funday? How's about it? Thought so. With that in mind, we've got a pair of tickets up for grabs to catch Daedelus tonight at the Bluebird with Musa and CacheFlowe. Daedelus? Who's that, you say? Ah, glad you asked. Last time Daedelus (aka Alfred Darlington) was in town, he was keeping company with Pretty Lights and Sound Tribe Sector 9 at Red Rocks, and he's credited with bringing the use of the Monome to the forefront. To see the ma

October 8, 2009Q&A with Les Freres Courvoisier
If you need a set of playful yet sexy techno, you could do a lot worse than calling upon the services of Les Freres Courvioiser, a faux-French duo with a penchant for spicing up their sets with ridiculous costumes and general hijinx. In the course of putting together this week's Scratching the Surface on Les Freres, the twosome (Jonathan Canupp and Joshua Smith) gave us more bon mots and insight into their performance and influence than we could cram into the tiny profile -- and now we're

But music's loss is food's gain, since she's going to be devoting her time to helping out at Melita's Greek Cafe & Market, the spot that took over for the Economy Greek Deli at 1035 Lincoln Street. "It's been a long and amazing DJ ride for me, but after thirteen years, I have decided to hang up my headphones," she told Cory Casciato for a story
