It’s becoming more and more evident: Not only is the Mile High City blessed with an abundance of outstanding musician folk, but there’s a wealth of talented creative types out there bolstering their efforts, people like Rod Blackhurst, the Locker Partners and Eric Heights. For his part, Heights continues to…
As you’ve undoubtedly heard by now, tonight the biggest names in entertainment are coming together for MTV’s Hope for Haiti Telethon, a unified relief effort to raise much needed funds for the disaster torn country, devastated by the recent earthquake. The relief effort is wide reaching and beyond massive. In…
Every Friday we spotlight the hottest cats (and kittens) behind the decks in the MHC, grilling them to gain some insight on what it takes, exactly, to get the party rocking, to find out about their most treasured crate digging experiences and what they really think when we stumble up…
UPDATE: Sounds like the Autumn Film is nearing finished working on its new album, which we just learned will be titled the Ship and the Sea. Fans who pre-order the record now, will receive a link download the full album on Friday, February 26, followed by a physical copy, which…
He’s done it again, ladies and gentlemen. The wildly prolific and ever talented Rod Blackhurst has made another video that’s as artful and compelling visually as the music of the artist he’s working with. If we weren’t already smitten with his subjects this time around, Hello Kavita — who, with…
How do you take a venue that’s already not all that appealing in the first place and make it even less so? How about hanging a handle on it that fans can’t say (or even think about, really) without spitting out their soda? If you haven’t heard yet, word came…
Not familiar with the intricacies of this process — mainly because we’re not well heeled enough to actually, you know, own one of these things — but this seems pretty badass. Evidently, there’s an iPhone ap called Four Track that allows you to record sweet, sweet pop music from the…
Fucking A. Ask and ye shall receive, eh? (Well, it’s not Denver, but close enough.) Just glimpsed the lineup for this year’s Coachella. As far as headliners go, you’ve got your Jay-Z and your LCD Soundsystem and, uh, let’s see here, Thom Yorke and … yada, yada, yada. Whatever, dude…
The Ed Sullivan Theater is chilly. Cold enough, it seems, to merit donning a winter hat and overcoat. That’s the word from ever proliffic vlog meister and burgeoning homegrown pop star Matt Morris, who celebrated the release of his new disc, When Everything Breaks Open, by making his nationally televised…
Paging Neil Young: Saw what you did with “Pants on the Ground” last week on, ahem, Jimmy Fallon. Good times. Call us crazy, but this one has your name written all over it. No? We’re of course talking about this gem from Chargers star running back LaDainian Tomlinson. Considering that…
Here what the area’s local-centric specialty radio shows were spinning this week. We’re currently tracking the playlists a number of different shows including, Radio 1190’s Local Shakedown*, KTCL’s Locals Only, the Colorado Sound, which originates at KRFC and is re-broadcast all over Colorado, 99.5 the Mountain’s Homegrown Show, KBCO’s Local…
Earlier today, Foodchain leaked a new track, “Who Ridin’,” from their forthcoming album, Corpses, which is due for release on February 10, 2010. While that particular cut is currently only available for stream (listen after the jump), you can still download the act’s self-titled debut if you haven’t already. And…
Man, LennyLenn is not sleeping. In addition to all the work he’s been putting in with Kintenders, the dude is keeping his head down, focusing on honing his skills both in the studio and on the video production front. Although he’s already got a number of videos under his belt,…
This was not a good year for the “Best Original Song” category at the Golden Globe’s. In fact, it’s arguably one of the worst in recent memory. We’re not certain what this means, if it means anything at all, but it’s clear the film industry tossed original music to the…
A few weeks ago, we told you about the Gamits getting back together and frontman Chris Fogal said he already worked up a few songs for the new record. We assumed he’d be keeping a tight wrap on things until said album was ready to be released. Alas, however, to…
The Twittervese has become one of the most entertaining and insightful places to catch a glimpse inside the lives of some of the most outspoken members of our local music community — 140 characters at a time, of course. We never ceased to be entertained by the tweets of various…
Update: This morning, Pitchfork, NME and several other outlets are reporting that Reatard’s death is now being treated as a homicide, citing a seemingly erroneous report filed by MyFox Memphis stating as much. The original piece has since been inexplicably removed from the site, raising reasonable doubts regarding the validity…

“You can either use negative comments to get you down, or you can use them to excite you and to energize your process of making a better pizza. We did the latter.” Patrick Doyle, the president of Domino’s Pizza and the man responsible for the above quote, is either a…
If you’ve slept on Mr.J Medeiros, it’s time to wake up and go grab a late pass. After cutting his teeth in the Procussions, the MC has emerged as a gallant talent in his own right. He first grabbed our attention a few years ago with the touching and superb…
I was so sick of electric guitar,” declares John Common. “I remember being on stage at the Oriental, and I was literally in the middle of a solo, packed house, great show — this is supposed to be why we play music, right? — and I was so bored, I…
Remember yesterday when we wrote about OK Go and heaped praise on the LA-by-way-of-Chiago act for evading obscurity once again with yet another clever new video — you know, the one with the marching bands and all that? Seems we weren’t the only ones completely aghast that the video couldn’t…
