• Q&A with Adele

  British singer-songwriter Adele Adkins, who's in town for a sold-out show at the Bluebird Theater tonight, is having a moment. She's been nominated for four Grammy awards, including Song of the Year and Best New Artist, in conjunction with 19, an album named for her age upon the time of its release. But in the following Q&A, conducted for this week's Westword profile, she doesn't put on airs. Indeed, she's consistently funny, boisterous and down to earth enough to admit that she enjoys the tho

• Was India Arie's brother arrested at Mile High Music Festival?

  Scalping is illegal in Commerce City, too, as Jon Simpson could tell you.While there were a number of arrests at the Mile High Music Festival yesterday, Simpson's may well be the most high-profile. He appears to be the brother of Grammy Award- winner India.Arie, who was known as India Arie Simpson when she was growing up in Denver, the younger sister of a boy named Jon Simpson.While we didn't catch the beginning of Arie's exceptional set on the First Bank Stage Saturday -- which ended up being o

• 3OH!3 nominated for VMA for Best New Artist

  ​Props to 3OH!3. Adding to its global ubiquity, the Boulder-based act was nominated as Best New Artist at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. From the looks of it, the hooligans from the People's Republic have a viable shot of taking home honors, as the competition doesn't seem to be too stiff this year -- the duo's up against Asher Roth, Drake, Kid Cudi and Lady Gaga. Although, if anyone's going to take out the pair, smart money's on the lady of the bunch. Awards will be broadcast on MTV on S

• A first look at 3OH!3's "Still Around" video

  ​As if to show the world that they're not one-dimension electro-crunk caricatures -- which those who've heard Sean Foreman's folksier musings -- the 3OH!3 guys included an anomalous ballad on Want, their breakout record. That track, "Still Around," is the subject of the outfit's latest video, which is sure to mindfuck the fans that came on board with "Don't Trust Me" and "Starstrukk." The clip prominently features Foreman in a cowboy hat on a ranch of some sort riding a horse, interspersed wi

• Kanye West says he's sorry. Again. Do you believe him?

  All right, by now you've seen the clip of Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at this past weekend's MTV Video Music Awards (see the clip after the jump if you haven't already), an act of utter douchebaggery that's been universally condemned: Katy Perry likened the outburst to stepping on a kitten; Kelly Clarkson unabashedly denounced West in a blog post and even President Obama reportedly called dude a jackass (off the record, of course). Last night, West appeared on The J

• Watch 3OH!3's set from the MTV VMAs

  Okay, if you're like us and were up at Red Rocks for Monolith this past Sunday night watching the Mars Volta confound the audience with its spectacular over indulgence or -- depending upon your perspective -- dazzle the crowd with its awe-worthy musicianship, you missed 3OH!3's thirty second long, blink-and-you-missed-it performance on the VMAs. Good for us, the fine folks at MTV graciously captured the clip in its entirety. If you're not already a card-carrying, dyed-in-the-wool fan of this gr
