As music critics — and people who generally think about, talk about, listen to and make music — the most common question we get asked (and ask each other, for that matter) is, “What are you listening to right now?” The pervasiveness of this query is precisely what inspired Heavy…
Ever wonder what it takes to manage the day-to-day affairs of 3OH!3? Wonder no more. Evidently, all it takes is a cellphone, a laptop outfitted with the latest Microsoft Office suite and an insatiable desire to work 362 days a year (hanging out with your parents, of course, on the…

Not to be outdone by Joe Ginsberg’s little breakfast quest, it seems Jonny 5 of Flobots fame has embarked on a similar year-long adventure, only this one is slightly little less cereal. From the sounds of it, J5 — Jamie Laurie, to his mom — has abundant time to write…
You know how the more cynical among us bemoan the whole Twitter phenomenon? Clearly cheesed off by the whole notion, they’re often found uttering stuff like, “I don’t need to know what such and such had for breakfast this morning, for Chrissakes!” in disgust every time the subject comes up…
So we’ve been listening to John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light’s new record, Beautiful Empty, for the past few weeks, and man, have we been digging it. So much so, that we convinced Mr. Common to let us hook you up with our favorite track, “Love Is a Shark”…

Update: Mustangs & Madras will take the stage one last time at 3 Kings Tavern on Saturday, January 23, in the company of the Gunshy, Git Some, Only Thunder and Get Three Coffins Ready.[original post: 10.29.09, 11:25:52] It’s with more than a tinge of sadness that we report this next…
View Larger Map So even as we bid Kazmos farewell, we’ve just received word of a brand new club opening on 22nd and Champa in the former Loft space. After nearly fifteen years of night club promotion, the 3 Deep Productions crew, Francois Baptiste and Alvin LaCabe, together with fellow…
By now, what, with the Big Night only a few days away, we assume you’ve already decided what you’re doing for New Year’s Eve. Well, just in case you haven’t, we’ve got something up for grabs that will perhaps set your plans in motion, a pair of highly coveted tickets…
Here’s a belated Christmas present for fans of Patrick Porter’s music. Presumably in the spirit of giving and all that, our pal Porter has posted his latest album, Bachelor Pad Blue; Bent Pants & Stray Cats, as well as a number of his out-of-print records — the two-disc This Machine…

Can you tell Christmas is just two days away? Everybody’s getting in the holiday spirit it seems. We just heard that the Fray is giving away five unreleased Christmas MP3s. Well, the first one, fittingly enough, “The First Noel,” is absolutely free, no strings attached. The other four are free,…

Finally got a peek at Dent’s new video for “Sun Showers,” filmed by Jaysun Loushin’s production company, Sunsaytional, on location over the course of five days in New York last month. The clip opens with Dent making his way across the Brooklyn Bridge in a sick throwback Broncos tee, and…
Update: By now, you’ve probably heard but just in case you haven’t, Epilogues took home this year’s Hometown for the Holidays crown at Andrew’s On Lincoln this past Friday night. Beyond bragging rights for the next year, the act won three days of recording time at the Blasting Room in…
With just four days left until Christmas, the yuletide-oriented tunes keep pouring in. Today, we stumbled across a pair of tracks, one of which just may end up being our favorite for years to come. The first one is from The Alan Baird Project. It’s a modern rock reading of…
And the Christmas songs just keep cropping up from the scene. Over the past week, we’ve spotlighted a pair of original holiday-oriented tunes from the Mansfields and Dressy Bessy. This one’s a cover from a newer act out of Loveland called The Nurses doing a faithful version of the standard…
Do you think Twista’s tongue ever gets blisters? Seriously. Or at least sprained from time to time? The cat’s flow is completely out of control. He’s flipped our lid every time we’ve heard him rhyme since first being introduced to him via “Mista Tung Twista” well over a decade ago…
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…
Dismembered: We’re guessing that Swollen Members tour manager BJ smith and the three other crew guys he was traveling with earlier this week are no doubt breathing easy today after surviving a freak accident in Colorado Springs that could’ve been fatal. Smith and company were in the Springs making their…
