This seemed all but inevitable the more folks saw Searching for Sugar Man, the outstanding documentary focusing on the awe-inspiring story of Sixto Rodriguez, aka Sugar Man — and that was even before the Oscar win this past weekend: Rodriguez, whom we picked at the top of our 25 best…
Once upon a time when imposing creatures like Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch roamed the earth, we used to get glossy black and white publicity photos sent to us by the truckload along with CDs (I know, right?). The discs are obviously long gone, but we crammed the pics…
The lineup for the 2013 edition of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival has been posted. Among the most noteworthy acts scheduled to perform at the annual four-day mountainside festival (taking place Thursday, June 20, through Sunday, June 23, in Telluride) are, most prominently, Grammy-winning perennial favorites Mumford & Sons, making another…
At the risk of pushing the Morrissey/Denver needle even further into the red (what am I even talking about here — that ship has long since sailed!), there’s one more item of interest that we’d be considerably remiss if we didn’t pass along. Last night, Churchill, the most recent local…
With two events down, including the offical relaunch of the Solution weekly at the Meadowlark a few weeks back and last weekend’s Denver Dre Day, #TheSolution6, a celebration marking the sixth anniversary of the Solution’s founding at Milk Bar, is well under way. Tonight at Beauty Bar, the Solution crew…
Do you heart Jethro Tull? If so, you better hold on to your hat, hombre. I’m about to flip your wig: For the first time in the States in more a decade, there’s a Jethro Tull Convention booked, and apparently, it’s happening here. (I know, right?!) Well, not here here,…
Besides being a long, seemingly unfounded piece of local-music folklore, as well as a now well-documented and utterly fascinating part of the Smiths mythology, the story of James Kiss is a redemptive one. It’s a case study of desperation, certainly, but it’s also a cautionary tale of a troubled young…
On Wednesday, March 6, Barry Fey will be inducted into yet another hall of fame, this one the Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame. In honor of his induction, we’ll be running the stories that didn’t make his memoir all this week. Today, the late Leslie Haseman with a…
We’ve heard rumblings about this for the past few weeks, but now it’s confirmed: Beatport is reportedly being sold to SFX Entertainment for $50 million. According to the New York Times, who broke the news last night on its Media Decoder blog, Robert F. X. Sillerman, who heads up the…

It’s all Morrissey all the time on Backbeat, apparently. In what can only be explained as the universe being charter member of the Cult of Moz (or just seriously coincidental timing), we’ve just received word that the one and only Steven Patrick Morrissey has rescheduled his upcoming Denver date. Postponed…
See also: More than a fascinating piece of Smithsology, the ’80s radio takeover is a story of redemption After examining the letters he wrote to his parents, which were included in the original Lakewood police file, and the details of that harrowing and fateful day in the fall of 1988…
Craigslist is a place where weirdos and miscellaneous miscreants alike can convene in the relative privacy of anonymity without the prying and scrutinizing eye of the public — well, except for the fact that we’re all voyeurs who stalk the web round-the-clock for the latest absurdity to distract us from…
On Wednesday, March 6, Barry Fey will be inducted into yet another hall of fame, this one the Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame, and that couldn’t be more fitting. Next to sports, music is probably our state’s biggest attraction, and we have Barry Fey to thank for that…
Alright, how many times have you driven past that dude on the corner, the one twirling his sign like a madman, and thought to yourself Wow! That dude is rocking out. Wonder what the hell he’s listening to? Wonder no more. Mystery solved. It’s Slayer. At least that’s what this…
Umphrey’s McGee, due for a pair of sold-out dates at the Belly Up in Aspen on Wednesday, March 6 and Thursday, March 7, will be making its way back to Colorado this summer for a pair of dates, one for certain a show at Red Rocks on Friday, June 7,…

Quick: If you were Colorado and you wanted to jump on the bandwagon of a nearly exhausted Internet phenomenon and, say, film a Harlem Shake video of your own with thousands of your closest friends (okay, maybe not thousands — only 86 people have confirmed so far, while 52 are…
So, hey, listen, I totally meant to share this with you earlier in the week, but I completely forgot. As you can see, it’s only the best sign in the history of ever. I came across this brilliant piece of signage this past Saturday night after the Neurosis show, when…
If you missed the hour-long live stream a bit ago in which “Weird” Al Yankovic announced the headliners for this year’s edition of Bonnaroo, rest easy: We’ve got you covered. We took notes on all the acts announced thus far. Prepare to be overwhelmed: There’s roughly ten billion on the…
