Alphabets have just dropped off an absolutely massive remix project on Bandcamp as a pay-what-you-want download. Once you decide how much (or how little) you want to throw down, you’ll have access to two dozen tracks of glitched-out noise babble from a mass of Denver bands and a few national…
2010 has been an aggressively weird year in music news. It seemed like no matter where we turned musicians were saying and doing the strangest damn things. From decrying the most popular thing in the world to talking people off of buildings, it was a wacky year to report. There…
Screaming children, department stores, seasonal jobs, green velvet costumes. These are just a few staples of the holiday spirit, and it’s this madness that writer David Sedaris covered in SantaLand Diaries, an essay about his day-to-day life as an elf at Macy’s that first appeared on NPR’s Morning Edition in…
Just because it’s Christmas this weekend doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of activities to take part in on the cheap. Whether you’re looking for something to do on Christmas day or if you’re interested in getting away from the family this weekend, we’ve got you covered with dance parties, light…
This list might have just as easily been titled Ten great Japanese horror movies in the vein of Kuroneko, since we’re only dealing with a certain type of horror film here. Kuroneko, which premiers at the Denver FilmCenter on Friday, is a more subdued, fantasy-driven horror than the type people…
What’s the best way to promote a show with a headlining band called Battleship Agenda? Well, you get a big ass battleship and you show it off. Bonus points go to whoever booked this show and made sure to tag Nautical Mile to play as well; it’s a sea-faring trip…
Matt Johnson is the owner of Mindful Software, LLC, an iOS developer that just released the app Group Trivia, a trivia game that hopes to bridge the gap between online and local play while providing a perfect way to waste a few minutes at a time. With iOS becoming such…
Last week we took a look at five terrible holiday song parodies that took existing holiday songs and turned them into something else altogether. That’s all well and good, but it’s actually not the worst of what we found. Nope, that honor is reserved for those that turn existing pop…
Since the release of George and Caplin’s Secluded Malls and Scenic Byways last August, the band has already offered a hard copy of the disc for free for those who sent a text message to a number hidden in a music video. To celebrate the holidays, however, the record will…
The Heene family is still doing its best to extend its fifteen minutes as long as possible. The latest effort: A new boy-band featuring all three kids. It’s not the first time balloon boy and his brothers have ventured into the world of pop music. Who can forget “Not Pussified”?…
If you haven’t seen this video of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin singing “Blueberry Hill,” stop what you’re doing right now and watch it. It’s just that amazing. You see, in America, we sing to the president, but in Soviet Russia, the president sings to you (sorry!). Actually, we’re pretty…
As estranged family members start trickling into town this weekend for the holidays, chances are you’re looking for something to do to show off this great city. You’re probably also trying to do it on the cheap so you can save up for some awesome last minute gifts (or pay…
The holidays can be a downright stressful, terrible time of year for some people — and the best remedy for that might very well be some filthy humor. That’s the theory, anyway, behind Chuck Roy & His Naughty Little Elves, a holiday extravaganza set to make you re-think the very…
The Winter Solstice is the holiday people celebrate when they don’t want to celebrate any of the major holidays. It was also a popular Viking tradition that included a number of badass-sounding celebrations like the Feast of the Dead and the lighting of Yule logs in honor of Thor…
Every once and a while we need a game that just screws with the player. Whether that’s mentally or physically doesn’t matter. F*ck This Game manages to do both by creating a game that requires dexterity in finger placement while taxing your brain. Also, it makes you feel stupid, which…
As we’re heading straight into Christmas, the new-release rack is starting to get more and more bare, but there’s still enough worthwhile new media this week to highlight. We can’t say the same for next week’s releases, but since you’ll probably be getting a stockpile of wrapped and delivered goods,…
There’s just something about this time of year that inspires people to record parodies. Jack Black and Jason Segal just spoofed the David Bowie and Bing Crosby classic, “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy,” and yesterday, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly premiered their version of the tune. Click through for…
Hunter Dragon has been pretty damn prolific this year, releasing a full-length album (Weight & Measure) and an EP (Blood Bath) in the span of just a couple months. To celebrate the anniversary of making music under the Hunter Dragon name, he’s decided to give Blood Bath out for free…
It was not enormous, nor was it filled with flashing lights, giant monitors or masses of people. Instead, 360 MacDev’s current incarnation was a smallish gathering of like-minded individuals of all ages (more on that later) interested in getting together, talking shop and discussing theory. While most people these days…
Facebook has quickly become the social media site. With over 250 500 million users, it’s the hub for ordinary folks to keep in touch with their favorite musicians, websites and friends. It’s because of this domination in the social media circle that local Facebook app developer Jeff Lange, aka Digi…
Sure, you still need to find a Christmas present or holiday gift for your dad that isn’t somehow related to golf, but maybe if you hit up some awesome DJ nights, the Candy Cane Festival or any other event this weekend you’ll have a creative spurt and figure out the…
We’re still knee deep in holiday flavor over here, so this week we decided to catch up with a ballet dancer to help us better understand how one would go about dancing around on a stage as a profession. We talked to Kevin Gaël Thomas, who is originally from France…
