You may not have heard of Pancake Boy or Captain Starfish yet, but if the kids from the Art Students League of Denver have any say in the matter, you will soon. That’s because superheroes of all shapes and sizes will be on display in the fifth annual Dendiggityopolis Superhero…
Holy bloody hell this one’s a doozy. Quick, think of all the things you like about games. Okay, what do you have so far? Fun, action, explosions, jumping, puzzling? Maybe you’re just interested in farming or pretending you’re a god. Now erase your list, tell your boss you’re taking a…
What we like about this flier is the remarkably badass-looking, ahem, warhawk. It’s also a picture of a hawk wearing a headdress with what we assume are hawk feathers. That’s like a human wearing a headdress made of human hair. The disembodied head is also screaming at a moon in…
Google has announced a new plan to help combat copyright infringement by reshaping its search technology and offering an easier and more accessible takedown request form. The news comes hot on the heels of news that the U.S. government has begun a multi-tiered crackdown on piracy and counterfeit websites…
New releases are an excellent option for holiday gifts, because unless you’re out shopping for someone who buys, rather literally, everything the day of release, you can almost be guaranteed that it’s something they don’t already have. We’ve got a good wide-ranging selection of stuff this week, too, with a…
While not all of us are particularly enthusiastic about Christmas music, that doesn’t mean we can’t recognize a good song when we hear one. This new Dressy Bessy single, “Hopped Up (on Xmas) Featuring King Scratchie” might be one of the few holiday songs worth a regular holiday rotation. It’s…
Golden in Focus kicks off this weekend, showcasing a wide variety of photos from Golden’s illustrious history — and man, was it ever illustrious. We’ve got a preview of five of these pictures after the break, with helpful captions to explain exactly what’s going on, the historical context and other…
We’re here to help maintain your sanity and financial stability this holiday season with a couple movies, a photo show, dance parties, art and more. If you need some spots to blow off some steam after blowing two paychecks on stuff for yourself on Cyber Monday, we’ve got you covered…
Now that we’re officially settled into the holidays, it’s time to start looking for folks that have seasonal jobs. What better place to start than a holiday elf? For understandable reasons, our elf has decided to remain anonymous, but regardless of the anonymity, you should still get a pretty good…
Until now, Charly Fasano’s stories and poems have been available on cassette and CD on Fast Geek Press. Recently, though, he’s made his catalogue available on Bandcamp for free, through January 20. What you’ll get is three albums of nearly Bukowski-esque narratives about the city of Denver, accompanied by some…
The Golden History Center has some 600 photographs dating back to the 1800s. The subjects of these photos range from the seemingly mundane, like a 1934 high-school prom, to the iconic, such as workers at Coors Brewing Company. Golden in Focus: Historic Photo Show and Sale opens tonight in conjunction…
It’s the holiday season, which means it’s time to give back to communities and do a little philanthropy. Well, for some folks it is anyway. If you’re too cheap and lazy to help a brother out, we have one suggestion: play a game for science. The game is Phylo, a…
Odam Fei Mud is well known for their samurai inspired kabuki-like performances, which is exactly why we love this flier so much. It’s just so damn metal it hurts. It also gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect from an Odam Fei Mud show at first glance,…
We love a good riddle, which is how we’re treating this new, totally bonkers video from local visual artist Mario Zoots. The video was made for the Brooklyn band (and incredibly SEO-unfriendly) BL§§D ØU†, and we’ve deemed it a riddle because we have no earthly idea what’s going on here…
As we’re nearing the year-end lull, new releases are getting few and far between. That doesn’t mean we didn’t track down some awesome stuff this week, though — in fact, if you’ve got a love for all things Disney, you’re in for one hell of a treat, and if you’ve…
Things just keep getting worse for media pirates. In the last year, we’ve seen Google tackle music blogs, Limewire go the way of the dodo, and Pirate Bay’s appeal thwarted. Now the U.S. government is getting involved. Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seized domains from Torrent-Finder, OnSmash.com, RapGodfathers.com,…
Hot on the heels of the Limewire injunction, an appeals court in Sweden recently upheld the copyright convictions of three of the men behind the file-sharing repository Pirate Bay. The appeal, which was filed in reply to the conviction in April of 2009, contends that the site’s owners were not…
Eternally white-haired king of the spoof Leslie Nielsen passed away yesterday at the age of 84, due to complications from pneumonia. His best-known roles varied from the science-fiction classic Forbidden Planet to Airplane!, the king of all cinematic parodies; through that movie, he helped start a movement that eventually led…
Last week, the Beatles finally caved into to the digital model, joining other once-holdouts like Pink Floyd and Metallica on iTunes. There are two reasons why artists are still withholding their music from iTunes: They want full-album/no-single purchases, and they want more money…
Musicians have a hard life: Touring, recording, partying — all these things tend to destroy any semblance of their youngselves by the time they’re older. Even so, there have been a few who’ve somehow managed to come out on top. Maybe it’s plastic surgery, maybe it’s something else entirely, but…
The super-official, absolutely real, Record Store Day might have been earlier this year, but there’s no reason why we can’t celebrate our favorite holiday twice. Instead of cutting each other’s throats and arguing with old folks at the mall today, maybe you’d like to consider spending your Black Friday picking…
Robot Unicorn Attack was a great game, but the Erasure soundtrack and generally puffy visuals might have turned off people who have been looking for something more, ahem, metal. That’s really the only reason to release the heavy metal edition, but it’s reason enough for us…
