• Christmas on Mars: The Video Game

  I haven't seen the new Flaming Lips movie Christmas on Mars yet (I'm saving it for the next time I go on an ether binge) but if this bizarre Flash game the band is using to promote the film is any indication, it's going to be a hell of a weird ride. In the game, you launch blobs of what could be brains from your fists at approaching Martianized Wayne Coyne heads. If any of the heads rach you, you're done. It's akin to Space Invaders in terms of complexity and gameplay, but akin to that time you

• Beyond Playlist presents Xmas-rated, part five: Christmas Alternatives

  This year, we've wrapped our roundup of holiday albums a bit differently. Instead of delivering it to you in one big lump (like coal), we're parceling out the reviews online, with a blog each weekday through December 24 devoted to recordings in a different category. Part five brings you "Christmas Alternatives" -- new holiday releases by performers who kinda/sorta fit into the modern-rock category. They include the Flaming Lips, the Almost, Julian Koster and Martha's Trouble.

• 2006 Best of Denver Winners

  Our favorite winner from Westword's twenty-third Best of Denver Awards has to be that for "Best (Very) Late-Night People Watching," the Ramada Inn on Colfax: The Ramada Inn Downtown Denver is like a rock-and-roll RV park on weekend nights, when tour buses crowd the parking lot and bleary-eyed musicians trickle through the lobby at all hours. The crash pad for artists and crews in town for shows at the Fillmore, Ogden and Bluebird theaters -- as well as an actual hotel for normal people in town

  The Flaming Lips know all about putting on a hell of a show, and the Monolith Festival gig at Red Rocks in 2007 was one most phenomenal things to happen to that venue in the last few years. Lets hope for a repeat performance when the Lips return to Red Rocks Sunday, August 23 with Explosions in the Sky and Star Death & the White Dwarfs, which features Wayne Coyne's nephew Dennis. Tickets, which run from $36.75 to $46.50, go on sale Saturday, June 20 at 10 a.m. And as an added bonus, all tick

  Matt Fecher (left) and Josh Baker with Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips, whose band headlined the inaugural editon of Monolith ​Yesterday's news that the Monolith Festival is in financial straits and in need of a rather large infusion of cash just to continue wasn't completely shocking, especially given the modest turnouts and the fact that AEG Live opted out of helping produce and promote this year's fest, which seemed to underscore the notion that the fest -- in its current form, at least --
