NBC’s Chuck was picked up for the back-nine of a full-season order on November 26. That’s a very good thing, because it’s the best of NBC’s new shows this season. As part of TV Nerd-Rush 2007 (other notable entrants in this category include the CW’s Reaper and CBS’ The Big…
Why be fair and actually listen to five albums when you can be an ADHD smartass? Burial Untrue Hyperdub 00:48-1:32 of “Untrue” Boy was my assumption about this one wrong. I was positive I was going to get a Buck 65 style hip-hop deal but no, Burial had to go…

Long before the Denver Crip set known as the Tre Tres became notorious for a link to the still unsolved murder of Denver Bronco Darrent Williams almost a year ago, they forever changed the life of Cathy Maestas for the worse. Maestas’s son, Geranimo, was 16 on this day in…
Slide show Primasonic, Get Three Coffins Ready, Jett Black Larimer Lounge November 23, 2007 Summation: In baseball, one for three is actually pretty good. An empty bar can be a double-edged sword. You don’t have to fight for elbow room when you belly up. But when it’s Friday night on…
Thanksgiving doesn’t have enough TV specials. Oh, sure, it’s got Charlie Brown, but I covered how weak that is earlier. And there’s the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, but aside from seeing how cold and wet the Broadway dancers are going to be doing their thing in Herald Square, it’s basically just…
As the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s office continues to investigate the Glendale Police Department’s handling of a recent prostitution sting — profiled in the November 8 City Limit “Prostitution Sting Has Fringe Benefits” — it has sent letters to defense attorneys, advising them that their cases may benefit from information…
After 3 seasons of Project Runway, it seems evident that nobody does the wacky-artsy-type thing like an aspiring designer (though you can also catch some truly wacked-out antics on America’s Next Top Model, which is also on tonight). And nobody has perfected this craziness as much as this season’s yoga-lovin’,…
Okay, maybe not ever. I’m not counting aberrations like and It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown, or You’re Not Elected, Charlie Brown, or Try My Flugelhorn, Charlie Brown (and of those three, I only made one of them up). I’m talking about the big ones, the ones that we watched as kids…
This week, Vlog the Impaler takes a field trip to the home of the most infamous sandwich made from preformed boneless pork…
In 1990, Westword published its seventh Best of Denver issue, a celebration of the city that saluted everything from Best Bumpersticker (“I Sold a Townhome in Aurora,” an amazing feat in this town’s still depressed economy) to Best C&W Bar (the just-opened Grizzly Rose) to Best Name for a New…
Both men accused of hatching a murder-by-snake plot to kill Amateur Poker Tour owner Matt Sowash have now had the most serious charges against them dropped. Herb Beck and Christopher Steelman (profiles in the September 27 feature “Free Poker Tour Is a Dead Man’s Hand”) were arrested in August, charged…
The women on Telemundo are so hot. From the spicy soap opera stars to the TV news anchors, the channel is flooded with momacitas. But beware my fellow male Spanish channel gawkers, for there is a man dressed up as a woman who has slipped in with the real Latinas…
Compared with other holidays, Thanksgiving hasn’t inspired bards overmuch. There are no traditional hymns, no instantly identifiable music associated with the day save possibly various football broadcast bumpers. Nevertheless, here and there we find certain songs that — in lyric or in spirit — fit the theme of the day…

View larger image Indiana Total Number of Delegates: 79 Pledged: 66 Unpledged: 13 How to Recognize an Indiana Delegate: The origin of the term “Hoosiers” is uncertain. Many of the definitions for the term are synonymous with “simpleton.” But Indianans are anything but simple; in fact, to most Americans, Hoosiers…

It was, again, a weekend filled with film. The 30th Denver Film Festival wrapped last night and over the weekend we caught a few flicks. I hated Being Michael Madsen. The boredom was only punctuated by the two drunks next to me who knocked over their beer bottles half way…
Festival audiences are generally more generous than traditional theatrical crowds. It’s a double-edged sword. Some films that will never see the light of day, or the darkness of theatrical release, find audiences who are willing to set aside their critical opinions and just enjoy a film for mere competence of…

Earlier this week, we interviewed party promoter Charlie Morrison by phone while he was drying out in the forced confinement of Denver C.A.R.E.S. Charlie’s surely out by now, but we thought we’d pop in to his club night at Bender’s Tavern, Night of the Living Shred, to see if we…
