• Tickle Me Pink releases explicit version of "Typical Whore" video

  Tickle Me Pink, who's in the midst of a cross country tour right now with Hawthorne Heights (full dates after the jump), has posted an explicit, NSFW version of their "Typical Whore" video. Like the the original version, the video features porn star Gabriella Fox crawling through comforters on her hands and knees. Unlike the original version, however, in this clip, her goods on full display. Tickle Me Porn, anyone? -- Dave Herrera

• Breathe Carolina premiers new video, tours until the end of time

  Breathe Carolina, a band that tours so often these days that it almost doesn't seem like a Denver band anymore (seriously, with the exception of April and May, the act is going to be on the road from now until at least the end of August; check out the list of tour dates on the next page), recently premiered its video for the track "Diamonds." The clip -- which begins in stately black and white before morphing into an utter explosion of vibrant colors at the halfway point -- evokes a certain teen

  Photo: Todd RoethEverything Absent or Distorted (a love story), an act profiled in these pages back in December and who just performed at Artopia, our gigundous annual arts celebration, over the weekend, earned the distinction this week of having its latest platter, the Great Collapse, listed as the tenth most added disc in the country on college radio, according to CMJ. While the number of adds doesn't necessarily affect the group's chart position in the coming weeks, it does put the outfit in

• Our March Madness picks: A prelude to humiliation...

  A photo-illustration from the University of Pittsburgh website. Each year, I sit down with my daughter Lora -- a rabid sports fan with strong opinions about 9News' Susie Wargin -- to fill out NCAA tournament brackets for both the men's and women's basketball championships as part of a friendly contest organized by my wife's peers in the Archdiocese of Denver school system. We usually do pretty well, although our track record in the women's tourney is better than it is with the men's version. If

• Our March Madness predictions: The women's first round went well -- but what happened to Tennessee?

  Legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. Although most fans who fill out brackets during NCAA basketball tournament season only focus on the men's teams, the contest through the Archdiocese of Denver that my daughter Lora and I have participated in during recent years gives the women equal billing. That's a good thing from the perspective of fairness -- and, as a bonus, Lora and I have generally had a better record guessing the outcome of the women's competition than the men's. And the same thing

• Our March Madness predictions: The catastrophe worsens in the women's second round

  Duke's Abby Waner, who's from Highlands Ranch, probably didn't enjoy the game against Michigan State. Oh. My. God. The headline on the first blog about the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournament picks made by my daughter Lora and me -- "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." -- could hardly have been more prescient. Our 5-3 record last night in the second half of round two for the women was a modest improvement over the previous day's pathetic 4-4 mark, but Michigan S

• Our March Madness predictions: The men's bracket comes unglued

  Tyreke Evans' 33 points wasn't enough for Memphis -- or my bracket. The men's NCAA basketball bracket assembled by my daughter Lora and me and shared in the blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." was looking pretty good through the first two rounds. It's not now. Two of the four sweet sixteen games that took place last night blew up in our faces, and the repercussions will be ugly. Duke, which we had losing in the Elite Eight, was never really in the game against Vill

• Our March Madness predictions: Savaged by (Baylor) Bears

  Louisville's late burst plowed under Kelli Griffin's Baylor squad. The women's NCAA basketball bracket put together by my daughter Lora and me isn't quite as calamitous as our men's picks, but close. The big blow: Baylor, which we designated to reach the finals, went dry late in the second half of its contest with Louisville, eventually tumbling by a whopping seventeen points. Four of our Elite Eight are still standing upright, including Connecticut, which will only be knocked out if all of its

• Our March Madness predictions: 0-2 in the women's tourney last night

  Going slow and steady didn't help Marissa Coleman's Maryland Terps. The women's NCAA basketball tournament bracket my daughter Lora and I shared in "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." have taken a pounding, and last night's pair of Elite Eight games didn't help -- not that they could have. Stanford beat Iowa State, but we had the Cardinal losing to Duke, which fell long ago. And while we correctly guessed that Maryland wouldn't make it past this point, we thought they'd

• Our March Madness predictions: Have the Connecticut women even broken a sweat yet?

  Connecticut's Maya Moore. The updates that have followed in the wake of the March 18 blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation...," which shared choices in the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournament made by my daughter Lora and me, have been grim at times. Last night, though, the news was better when it came to the pair of women's Elite Eight contests, if resolutely unsurprising. Connecticut took it easy on Arizona State, only winning by nineteen points, while Oklahoma

  Tyler Hansbrough. The March 18 blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." shared NCAA men's and women's basketball picks made by my daughter Lora and me, which fell short of flawless. True, we had Connecticut making it to the women's finals on Tuesday, but not Louisville, which surprised Oklahoma over the weekend. And we didn't choose either North Carolina or Michigan State as competitors in the men's championship game tonight -- although the reasons are a bit complicated

As you'll see from the full transcript posted after the jump, the band's frontman is still very much an iconoclast championing ideals that are as provactive as the revolving moniker of his venerable punk band, alternately known as Multi-Death Corporation, Millions of Damn Christians, Millions of Dead Cops and more.
