Sk8Bit was supposed to take place this weekend in Ft. Collins, but the event has been cancelled due to a series of unfortunate and mostly unrelated events. Event promoter Marty Kraham notes that he’s working to reschedule a date in August at Rollerland with the bulk of the local bands…
Trolling the web, we recently came across a series of videos featuring a juggalo named MrTmzfan. We can’t quite place the face, but it looks slightly familiar, like another mister so and so we know. Maybe it’s just the face paint. Anyhow, judging from the comments made by said juggalo…
While most of us will be enjoying our Saturday by getting rowdy at the Westword Music Showcase, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of fun activities to get thrifty with around the rest of the city. Well, provided you’re into things like Pride Fest, Star Wars, yoga, dance parties and…

Marc Maron’s comedy style is honest, often unforgiving and occasionally enlightening. He might be best known by many for his podcast, “WTF With Marc Maron,” but first and foremost he’s a standup comedian.

We rather liked the first K.O.L.M. when it was released earlier this year, so when we fount out Anthony Lavelle had released the second one, aptly titled K.O.L.M. II, we got a little excited. First off — the sequel takes place immediately after the first one, so if you haven’t…
When we search for things on the Internet, a number of variables determine what we end up finding. Whether it’s the configuration of our computers, the location, or our past search history, the information we get is filtered and changed to match our record. When these same algorithms start determining…
Cannons will be joined by Glass Hits and Sleeping with In Gethesemene at Illegal Pete’s this Thursday, June 16 for a free show, and to celebrate the occasion, Cause Medic Ink dropped a lovely silkscreened flier off. The flier comes in a variety of colors to boot, which makes it…
Before you head out to see Force Publique at the Westword Music Showcase this Saturday, the band has been generous enough to compile its nine, somewhat randomly recorded tracks into one easy-to-download free album. We were rather impressed with what we heard a few months back, but if you’ve been…
New release day is often a daunting experience — if you’re a big fan of wasting away all of your paychecks on media like us, it makes for hard decisions and awkward conversations with the bank. Even if you do have the time to keep up with things, it’s still…
Devil’s Plaything is equal parts technological thriller and science fiction, but it’s also a very human drama about a man’s relationship with his grandmother and her past. Author Matt Richtel will be on hand at the Tattered Cover Colfax Avenue at 7:30 p.m. tonight to read from the book and…
There have been a lot of projects in recent memory searching for help with funding, from bands to films to films about bands. But few have had the historical importance of Style Wars, the seminal 1982 documentary about New York’s ’80s hip-hop scene. The film is available on DVD, but…
It’s hot, you’re cranky and all you want to do is get out of your house for a little while and soak in some culture — but you’ve been blasting the A/C all week and you’re scared of the incoming Xcel bill. Don’t worry: We are too, which is why…
Last week, the Internetz finally caught wind of Denver-based artist Landon Meier’s exceptionally creepy Hyperflesh masks, most notably with a 2009 video of a creepy family walking down the 16th Street Mall with baby heads on. Meier’s masks have got a bit more traction recently with a perfect storm of…
Remember a few months ago when we told you about the upcoming Grateful Dead online game? Well, that’s finally coming to fruition in August, but it looks like it will have a little competition from everyone’s favorite party-man Jimmy Buffett. That’s right, if there was ever a song we wanted…
Last night, the Sub.Mission crew kicked off its Electronic Tuesdays series, and for the next three weeks, it will be packing the Other Side full of electronic music from nearly two dozen different DJs. Generally speaking, when you have that many artists spread over a series of dates, it’s difficult…
There’s an old adage to making a browser game — and fiction in general — one that we’ve talked about before: “Make it new.” A Flash game isn’t exactly the most powerful platform in the world, so you’re restricted to a certain style. But for every 100 platformers, there’s always…
It’s already starting to get too hot to think outside, which means the summer-time media is starting to fly onto the shelves to offer up some escapism for those of us that can’t handle the heat. Generally speaking, summer releases favor the blockbuster, the antithesis of a think piece –…
Yesterday, Apple described and semi-launched its newest service, iCloud, an online storage locker that will automatically sync all of your Apple devices together with music, apps and books purchased through the iTunes store.
