It has been almost two years since Sun Studios released Armed With Wings 2, and although we had no idea a third one was coming, it was a welcome sight to see. Armed With Wings 3 is simple to describe on first glance: It’s a puzzle-platformer game that tasks you…
Rock posters have a long and storied history with silk-screening. It has been a tradition in poster and flier design for as long as the promotion of rock concerts has existed. It’s this very fact that warms our hearts when we see local shows with silk-screened posters, and this week…
Apparently this week is “awesome book week” because three of our picks come from trees, while another is based on a book. Okay, it’s possible we’re just attempting to show off the fact that we have the ability to read, but even so, a book from our last president, a…
There have been rumors on the Internet the last few days saying that Call of Duty: Black Ops might be the biggest launch in video-game history — which is actually saying quite a bit, considering people were saying the exact same thing last year about another game in the series,…
Earlier this year Thurston Moore made a bit of, ahem, noise when he gave a dissertation on white noise to children between the ages of eight and twelve-years-old in New York City. It looks like he’s now moving on to students a little older for his next round of teaching…
Around 11:34 last Friday, my phone rang, and on the other end of the line was what sounded like a 20-year old modem screaming at me with the type of digital candor only available to machines. “Excuse me?” I said. The sound repeated itself. And that was the beginning of…
MC Hammer recently decided the best way to rekindle his once massive flame was to start a beef with Jay-Z in the way of diss track called “Better Run Run,” boasting lines like, ‘That boy tried to steal my swag/His finger prints all over the bag.” While it might have…
It’s the start of a big week for film buffs, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of non-movie related activities to partake in this week. Of course, if you’re inclined, you can certainly weasel your way into a few of the films for the Starz Denver Film Festival. If…
In the spirit of Tom Waits, David Byrne, Nick Nolte and Steven Soderbergh, Brian Eno has just put up a video that looks a hell of a lot like Brian Eno interviewing Brian Eno. Of course, we can’t exactly verify that information, but it’s worth watching either way. The interviewer…
Okay, Tim and Eric fans, you finally have a reason to leave the house. While Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim have five years of public access-style TV craziness under their belts, that wasn’t enough, because now they’re taking their absurdist comedy on the road with the Tim and Eric Awesome…
You know the type: usually defined as a bit geeky and a tad cool, with a penchant to blow their cold hard cash on twelve-inch plastic platters.They’re record collectors. Perhaps it’s the satisfying crackle of a needle on vinyl or the lovingly crafted artwork that accompanies an LP, but records…
Anyone under about 35 will have fond memories of playing Oregon Trail in the computer lab at school at some point. It was never entirely clear why, but it was always under the guise of some form of edutainment. Either way, it was a pleasant reprieve from the typing tutor…
We adore robots here, so when a flier has a giant robot featured prominently, it’s already got a leg up on the competition. Throw in a vacuum tube for a head and it’s impossible to resist. MTHDS, the subject of this week’s feature profile, gives us all of this on…
Suburban Home has long been releasing mixtapes put together by label owner Virgil Dickerson, but it wasn’t until recently that these started popping up on the website. Thankfully, those of us who missed the original CDRs will have a chance to catch up, at least in the case of the…
It looks like the heavy-hitting new releases are taking the week off, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some killer new products dropping this week. With the exception of Toy Story 3, there isn’t anything too high-profile this week, but there are a few under-the radar releases worth checking out,…
It’s November Movember, which means it’s time to get your mustache on for charity. The above video pretty much sums up everything you need to know, but if you prefer reading, then know this: Grow a mustache, raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer. Simple enough, right? Movember.Com has a…
A coffin shaped like a skateboard, a yuppie dressed up as a homeless person, a sexy nurse: all things we had to find on the bicycle scavenger hunt Dethride at 3 Kings last night. Sixty people and 15 teams entered the hunt, which took riders across the city to collect…
TRANSCONTINENTAL/INTER-DIMENSIONAL HAUNTEDEST HOUSE With Page 27 • No Funeral • Solypsis • Syndrome of a Down Hardcore Teenage Vampire Pussy 10.30.10 | Rhinoceropolis “Are they playing in there?” commented some random person next to me at Rhinoceropolis last night. Yes, they’re playing. Someone is anyone. “Who” is anyone’s guess. But…
The theremin is a choice instrument for making spooky Halloween sounds. Case in point: this collection of theremin cover songs, in which a slew of popular tunes immediately become significantly more creepy after being filtered through the completely awesome but frightening device. It’s one of our favorite instruments and has…
It’s finally Halloween weekend, and there are hundreds of events going on this weekend to choose from. While a lot of these events will drain your wallet, it’s still possible to do Halloween on the cheap. If you’re not a fan of Halloween, we’ve got plenty of stuff to do…
Denver has some amazing coffee shops and some of the country’s best roasts to boot. Amazingly, people don’t seem to pick up on the connection as often as they should — many shops in town roast their own coffee. It might seem counterintuitive for people that hit up the chains,…
Hollywood has been fascinated with the idea of punk rockers since the word was originally coined in the ’70s. It’s a rare case that they get it right, and it’s even more amazing that nobody has devoted any significant time looking at the ways Hollywood has destroyed, showcased, revered and…
