Journey vs. Foreigner – The Deathmatch

There is nothing better than reminiscing about the awesomeness of the 80s. And no two bands scream that era louder than Journey and Foreigner (due tomorrow night at Comfort Dental Amphitheater). Journey, once led by lead singer Steve Perry, carries us through the depths of love and heartache like no…

Review: Taylor Swift at the Pepsi Center, 9/27/11

TAYLOR SWIFT at THE PEPSI CENTER | 09.27.11Imagine, if you will, a crapload of glitter, teeny tiny dresses, one billion pairs of cowboy boots, free mascara (courtesy of sponsor Cover Girl), and thousands of screaming girls all stuffed into a giant bottle of love – that was the Taylor Swift…

B.Sue

B.Sue frontwoman Brandi Shigley has an infatuating baby-girl voice that sounds like spun sugar tastes: It’s a guilty pleasure, heavy on the pleasure.

By now you’ve heard that another rocker has left the show early. Jani Lane, known for his sweet, sweet ’80s style, his stringy golden locks, and his high pitched vocals as lead singer of Warrant, was found dead last night at a hotel room in California. Although Lane battled with…

On the Run: a marathon-worthy playlist

‘Tis the season for charity races and marathons! Time to get back into shape after a long, lazy winter. If you’re running in this weekend’s Colfax Marathon, you’ve probably already shed the layer of lard you accumulated since Thanksgiving and are looking lean and mean. (Yay you!) Or maybe –…

Help us design the perfect road trip playlist

Okay, pretend we’re taking a road trip together. (Yes, we know this is unlikely what with gas prices being the way the are now all all, not to mention, we’d need a troop transport or something to chauffeur us — but work with us here, will ya?) What tunes would…
