• Rearview: The Week in Review (11/17/08-11/21/08)

  Leave the Gun. Take the cannoli. All eyes -- or ears, rather -- in the music world, including ours, were on Chinese Democracy this week. Most of us honestly never thought we'd live to see the release of the mythical Guns N' Roses record, and now that we had a chance to listen to it all the way through, we're sticking by our original assessment, based on hearing just a few songs: meh. Although parts of it are infinitely more listenable than expected, as a whole, it doesn't really seem to have

• Veggie Girl: Arada Ethiopian

  The first time I tried Ethiopian food, I was visiting my friend, Mat, in Montreal. We'd met the previous summer on a train headed to Berlin, and since we were both backpacking solo around Europe and trying to get to Prague, which had just suffered a flood, we found ourselves staying in the same hostel waiting for the rain to end. Neither of us made it to the Czech Republic, but we did share many a street falafel and tofu curry. And it was exciting to have another new culinary experience with M

• Get Monolith tickets without fees

  Update: Early bird tickets are gone. If you snoozed, you losed (yes, we know that's not a word, but "lost" didn't rhyme). On a related note, Monolith, which added Chromeo to the line-up last week, earned a nod from Outside Magazine as one of the best summer music fests. Yay, Monolith!For a limited time only (i.e. until they are all gone) you can get two-day tickets to Monolith for just $75 -- and I mean just $75: no bullshit fees added on. The deal is that Esurance, one of the presenting sponso

• $99 two-day Monolith Festival passes released

  ​If you haven't yet scored tickets for the Monolith Festival, which is just over a week off, now might be the ideal time to get them and save a few bucks. Esurance, one of the festivals sponsors, just released a block of 400 $99 two-day passes (no service fees) that are only available for the next 48 hours. Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Of Montreal, Girl Talk, Dandy Warhols and Phoenix are just a few of the stellar acts that will be at Red Rocks Saturday and Sunday, September 12 and 13.

• Our top 5 Monolith can't-miss acts

  Photo by Rob Lee​There's roughly a gazillion bands playing at Monolith over the next two days and there's no way you can see them all (see, there aren't a half-gazillion hours in a day), so we've come up with this handy list of five can't-miss acts at Monolith. These are the bands that are worth stopping in to check out even if you don't much care for them -- the acts capable of so much awesome, they might just change your mind, or at least completely fucking blow it. If nothing else, you

  ​Ever notice just how much more advanced kids are these days? They just seem so much cooler than we were growing up. We were at a barbecue not too long ago, for instance, and heard the wee son of a friend -- seriously, the kid hadn't even hit puberty yet -- raving about the new Bon Iver record. Yeah, Bon Iver. What's that all about? At that age, we were listening to the sort of craptastic, cringe-worthy things that can't even be explained away as guilty pleasures. So what gives? Cooler parents
