US Weekly recently came out with the “25 Most Stylish New Yorker’s” list. Among the lucky few were Tim Gunn, Stephen Colbert, Stacy London, Natalie Morales, etc., but as I was scrolling through the few and the proud I came across someone so astounding, a little of my breakfast actually…
If you only recognize Michael Ian Black as the talking head on VH1 or the guy hawking Sierra Mist between first downs, than you have truly been missing out. And you’re an idiot. Because although those appearances are certainly smirk-inducing, Black is a bona fide alternative-comedy superhero, dishing out some…

It’s hard to miss the ever-proliferating product line of Niwot-based Crocs, those happy-go-ugly purveyors of crayon-colored plastic boat shoes. Factories around the world are now cranking out enough of the patented closed-resin, hole-riddled footwear to fill endless miles of future landfills. Wal-Marts are teeming with endless knockoffs and logo-riddled variations,…

The late Dalton Trumbo was clearly among the most famous (and infamous) persons born in Colorado since 1900. An impassioned novelist best known for 1939’s anti-war manifesto Johnny Got His Gun, he was blacklisted as part of the so-called Hollywood Ten for his past associations with Communism. During the period…
See a slide show of the parade and protest. A reported 88 protesters were arrested at the Columbus Day Parade in downtown Denver earlier today. The demonstration brought the parade procession to a standstill for more than an hour. The stand-off between police and the anti-Columbus group Transform Columbus Day…
We have no one to blame but ourselves. It’s not just that Colorado, and Denver specifically, has some of the most liberal marijuana laws in the country. We have the best weed too. What’s a guy like Travis Henry, who already has well-documented issues with temptation, supposed to do when…
This week’s hater comes via Tom Tancredo’s presidential campaign blog which recently began featuring a DAILY OUTRAGE column to highlight crimes committed by immigrants. One commenter, the self-identified “M Sirag” typed oh-so-eloquently on the (widely contested) notion that immigrants strain the U.S. economy:…
David McSwane was back in the pages of the Denver dailies today, with a page-five article in the Rocky Mountain News detailing how the editor-in-chief of the Rocky Mountain Collegian at Colorado State University will be allowed to keep his job after the whole “Fuck Bush” debacle. Appearing next to…
As noted in this October 1 More Messages blog, the Denver Post’s redesign, which was unveiled along with the Sunday, September 30, issue, didn’t make much of a first impression, in part because the changes were comparatively minor and subtle. But the October 5 paper features quite a noticeable alteration…
Here’s a brief look at some of the items Americans are desperate to learn about today: Topps meat After 67 years in business, the Topps Meat company is going out of business. The final straw was a 21 million ton beef recall, the second largest in American history. A few…
Last night’s Witches of Eastwick Meet Le Chocolat soiree at Littleton’s the Melting Pot was a lesson in how decadent food doesn’t necessarily have to kill you. Julie Pech (pictured), the self-proclaimed Chocolate Therapist, was at hand to discuss the various health benefits of chocolate (yes, you read that right)…
The Klaxons and Hot IQs Fox Theatre October 4, 2007 Better Than: The Klaxons turning out to be some fucking rave band. There’s something adventurous about going to a band’s show that you know nothing about. I guess adventurous for me qualifies as about anything that doesn’t involve TiVO Boggle…
Cavemen is nothing new. ABC’s foray into meta-television was touted as being something that TV had never seen before, but really, in no way is that true. Not one way. Let’s count ‘em up. First, it’s not even close to being the first series featuring cavemen. And obviously, I’m referring…
David McSwane, editor of the Rocky Mountain Collegian, the student newspaper serving Colorado State University, was scolded by CSU’s board of student communications at an October 4 meeting for authorizing a September 21 editorial reading “FUCK BUSH.” But he didn’t lose his job over the controversy at the heart of…
News that the state’s Attorney Regulation Counsel won’t be filing a formal complaint against Carol Chambers, the big-stick district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, dribbled out in the backhand fashion typical of the ARC’s highly confidential dealings with Colorado’s wayward lawyers…
Rockies playoff baseball – Catch the fever! At 1pm on a Thursday. Leave it to the MLB to schedule the Rockies first playoff series in 12 years (which, shockingly, is two years fewer than the last time the Phillies hosted a post-season game) smack-dab in between daytime TV paragons The…
Day One Day Two Day Three: Back in Havana, we needed a new place to stay. My traveling companion Marcos and I came across a woman who looked to be in her late 70’s who said that she knew of a place. We were following her when a short, thin…
It’s hard to avoid sexual innuendos when discussing That 1 Guy, the alter ego of Mike Silverman. For starters, he calls his instrument his Magic Pipe, which is made up of two six-foot steel pipes (dude’s seriously packing) wired with a single bass string. The thing looks like a Blade…
Magik Markers, originally from Hartford, Connecticut, caught the ear of Thurston Moore, who invited the three-piece to join Sonic Youth on its 2004 tour.
