Adele makes Billboard chart history this week, as “Someone Like You” flies to the top spot on the Hot 100. Even though it wasn’t officially released as a single, it’s still all over Denver radio. Adele deserves this, though. Girl has had a huuuuuge year in music. First “Rolling in…
Kelly Clarkson is back. Again. After disappearing from the pop-music scene following her massive hit album Breakaway, then returning with the Clive Davis-hated project My December, then returning again with “My Life Would Suck Without You,” Kelly Clarkson makes another comeback with her new single, “Mr. Know It All.” Thank…
Besides Chris Brown’s mad hops and lip-synching skills and Tyler, the Creator of Odd Future giving props to Earl Sweatshirt in his best new artist speech, MTV’s Video Music Awards show last night was one for the ladies. Even when Lil Wayne closed the show, shirtless and all, he was…
What does mermaid porn, an ominous ice cream truck driver and a bionic arm have in common? One mega star: Lady Gaga. Or at least Gaga’s video for her new single, “Yoü And I.” We may not be too jazzed about the recent announcement that she’s opening the VMAs this…
Honey, where have all the bees gone? That and other questions will be examined during a screening of the documentary Vanishing of the Bees during Cross Pollination 2011, a community-wide celebration of pollinators, bees, birds, moths and other animals, at different Colorado Springs art institutions from August to December. “After…
LMFAO leads the Billboard Hot 100 again this week, once again blocking Katy Perry from her fifth number one and tying Michael Jackson’s record. But we heard all about that last week. This week, the biggest surprise comes from a half-naked Maroon 5 frontman. Weird, we know. Oddly, and finally,…
When we called Sorin Katt for the interview, we asked to speak with Kevin, his legal first name. He told us we had the wrong number. When we asked to speak with Sorin, however, he responded immediately. Besides talking to us about how he got involved in the furry lifestyle…
“Katy Perry breaks another record” — how many times have we heard that this summer? Not enough, apparently. Perry, whose last two singles, “E.T.” and “Firework,” have both been certified 4x-platinum, may claim yet another chart record title with her fifth single, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).” For her most recent…
We survived another wedding season, folks. With August officially upon us, the chances of being invited to any more summer ceremonies is nearly over. Looking back on many blissful marital moments, however, we’ve learned a lot about what to do and, better yet, what not to do at weddings –…
How do you honor a musician when awards and certifications aren’t enough? By naming something in his honor, of course — be it a bridge, a street, an asteroid or even a whole day after the guy. But in naming something after a musician, it’s easy to forget that while…
Morrissey’s vocal chords are good for two things: singing awesome tunes and spewing controversial word vomit. Who could forget last week’s quote in which Morrissey compared the Norway killings to McDonald’s and “Kentucky Fried Shit”?…
Chances are good that you may have missed the most intense part of the Denver County Fair over the weekend. If it wasn’t the animals (and the hipster animals), the floating hamster balls, the Sears representatives casting for a new commercial or eating fried Lucky Charms mixed with Cap’n Crunch,…
You can go on for days debating the musical mysteries of the so called 27 Club — which includes Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and now Amy Winehouse — but one thing is certain: The death of these artists had a profound impact on their subsequent sales. Pearl, for…
Oh, IKEA, you truly are a marvel, with your large blue and yellow exterior, huge ass sign overlooking I-25 that could do battle against Godzilla — and win! — and your Swedish land of golden furniture opportunities inside. It’s no wonder there were so many people camped out in front…
She rose to fame by kissing girls and liking it, and she kept her fame by spraying whipped cream out of her bra. Beyond the novelty, Katy Perry (due tonight at the 1STBANK Center) is an accomplished songwriter who shares a writing credit on hits like “Teenage Dream” and “Firework.”…
Fresh off winning a pricey EP recording session from Rocky Mountain Recorders at the Westword Music Showcase awards last month, Monroe Monroe has a lot of material just waiting to be recorded. One song, however, has already been cut. It’s called “Subject One,” and it sounds nothing like the band’s…
We’re listening to Selena Gomez right now, but not by choice. Some user from the U.K. is playing it in the room we’re in on Turntable.fm, the newest, coolest music thing to hit the Internet. And yeah, in case you’re wondering, Turntable.fm is every bit as cool as it’s hyped…
The sun finally came out this weekend after a long run of wild summer weather — remember the hail and flooding last week? And yes, the wait was worth it. So what better way to spend a hot Saturday than at the pool? By going one bigger: Water World. Apparently…
Dred Scott may be homeless, but he’s also got a real gift, a gift for performing R&B covers as if he were Marvin Gaye himself. The guy has chops, and thank God Tyler Ward, a Denver pop/rock artist, found him on 16th Street one day and chose to feature him…
Hey, there, is that a portable recording studio in your pocket, or are you just happy to see us? Both? Ah, yes. We are pretty easy on the eyes. Oh, and you must have the installed the EchoKast app, which allows you to record, edit and playback live audio on…
It’s fitting that Chris Steele chose the name “Time” as his moniker, because he clearly wastes none. Last year, he released one EP every month all year for free download the Dirty Laboratory website. And now that the dust has settled on that project, he’s followed it up with a…
