Arctic Monkeys' tour announcement has us wondering: Myspace, what in the hell happened?

Arctic Monkeys probably don't miss MySpace as much as we do.​When Arctic Monkeys announced it would be hitting the road in May and releasing its fourth album, Suck It And See, in June, I immediately started thinking about MySpace, or the awesome site that once was. While its predominant functi ... More >>

Social-media Frankenstein

​Every day, I use multiple social media services to work, stay in touch with friends and keep up to date with what's going on in the world. Half an hour on MySpace here, twenty minutes of Facebook there, and a quick look at Twitter every hour -- it adds up. So, until the future I predicted h ... More >>

Sexting taken to a super-creepy extreme by Geovany Alarcon

"You want me to do WHAT?"​Sexting: the latest teenage pastime designed to make adults lose their shit. But before you write off the response to the phenomenon as more middlebrow hysteria, grok the particulars of Geovany Alarcon, twenty, who earned a four-year prison jolt in Weld County Court t ...

Introducing the lo-fi digital weirdness of Hideous Men

​Take two parts freak folk and one part New Wave, filter it through a dying Gameboy, then melt shards of sampled hip-hop into the mix and allow to congeal into something weird. That should give you some idea of what to expect with Hideous Men, one of the latest and most interesting bands to em ... More >>

The Northern Way debuts new single

​Man, if The Northern Way doesn't break out in a major way within the next year, it's certainly not going to be for a lack of having radio-friendly songs. This morning, the outfit, formerly known as Set Forth, premiered its brand new single, "Starting Line," on MySpace. Matching the undeniable sug ... More >>

Five changes Facebook needs to make

​Facebook, we need to talk about our relationship. But don't freak out -- I'm not dumping you. Yet. Look, I like you. I really do. I mean, when we first met, I was really into you. You were so much less gaudy and stupid than MySpace. You helped me get in touch with at least a dozen friends I ... More >>

Sneak a peek at Vitamin D's Hard Times

​Longtime Denver dance music stalwart Vitamin D has a new album coming February 24 and, from the sounds of the tracks he has posted on his MySpace, it should be a good one.

Ideal Fathers branch out into chiptunes

Photo by EickeI like Denver-based, danceable post-punk outfit the Ideal Fathers a lot. I like the bleepy, chirping 8-bit soundscapes of chiptunes a lot. So you can imagine my excitement today when I stumbled upon a completely kickass chiptunes remix/reimagining of one of my very favorite Ideal Fathe ... More >>

Meet Kristen Parker, accused hepatitis-C source at Rose Medical Center

This Just In: blink-182 reuninon tour hits Fiddler's in September

If the date on the band's MySpace page and the press release we received from the publicist of one of the supporting acts is to be believed, blink-182's much ballyhooed reunion tour is slated to make a stop at Fiddler's Green on Sunday, September 6, with Weezer and Taking Back Sunday in tow. To see ... More >>

Rowboat, row me to my shore

Vices I Admire on the hunt for new bassist

Angry, artsy rockers Vices I Admire has been banging around northern Colorado for a few years now, and has a fair amount of local acclaim, based on its live shows, an EP and the song "Monster," which has appeared on a couple of compilations. On its MySpace page, the band compares itself to Incubus, ... More >>

Mile High Makeout: Making Connections

Nearly every day, I receive an email, instant message, MySpace note, Facebook missive, text or snail mail package from a local musician or band, sheepishly offering up their creations.

Club 303's MySpace page was hijacked

You will hate me for this...

Nothing I could possibly say would add to this video in the slightest, so let me just say thanks to fellow Westword scribe A.H.

Baji wants to announce your calls

If you're looking for some new music and in need of a new ring tone for your phone, have a listen to Baji. This pop/rock outfit reminds me a lot of the Heyday: similar radio-ready sound, same big, soaring choruses and hook-filled tunes. As a promotion, they're offering free ringtones to Verizon pho ...

Mile High Makeout: Fresh start

Yes, I know a lot of people like to use a new year as an opportunity to get a fresh start. It might just mean that you clean the stains out of your toilet bowl finally, or you put clean sheets on your bed, or you floss. Some people even make New Year's resolutions. Usually, these are pledges related ... More >>

Mile High Makeout: New friends, take one

Every week, I receive several friend requests on MySpace. About 70% of them are from siphylitic spambots, masquerading as hot, lonely, Russian jailbait. Another 20% are from bands I've never heard of, who live in cities I've never heard of, and make music I've never heard of. The final 10% come from ... More >>

What have the Hot IQs been up to?
