We don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but Hollywood has a knack for remaking films (brazenly displaying its pronounced lack of creativity). These movies tend to fall into one of three categories: Pop-film, genre-film or foreign. We’ve never fully understood the system of how they decide what gets green-lit…

It’s probably no secret at this point we’re a bunch of dorks, nerds and geeks here, and luckily, every once and while these tendencies happen to collide with our love for music. Such is the case with Giraffes in My Hair: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Life, a graphic novel released…

Yesterday’s news might have been a bit too iPhone-centric for normal, non-tech-dork human beings, but for those of us enthralled with shiny, touchable objects, it’s a format and medium we’ve come to love. While the iPhone and iPad are often lauded as great media consumption devices they’re rarely noted for…

There is no short supply of the insane stories surrounding Westboro Baptist Church (due back in Denver supposedly in time for Pride Fest in a few weeks). In fact, it’s nearly impossible to find a story about this organization that sounds like it remotely could be coming from this reality…

First off, I’m not a film critic by any means. I can rarely talk about the effect a movie had on me after I watch it — my thought process is binary and simple: The movie is good or bad. However, there are a few movies I can’t help but…

In the last few days we’ve been assaulted with tons of freeloader stuff, from singles to album previews to full blown EPs. Needless to say, we’ve had a hard time keeping up with it all, which is why we’ve decided to just gather up a few of our favorites in…

With the passing of Memorial Day we can finally say summer is here. And with summer comes summer camp, vacations and tours — and how do we get there? We drive. That’s how. This is America, after all. In celebration of seemingly endless sunny days and left-arm tans, we’ve picked…

In the year 2000, I heard my first Outkast album, Stankonia. You’ll have to excuse my sheltered existence — being a small-time kid from a small mountain town didn’t exactly lend itself to being on the cutting edge…

Matador Records has always been a top-notch label in our book — but giving us stuff for free? That’s the real way to win our hearts. Yesterday the label kicked off the release of Kurt Vile’s newest EP, Square Shells by offering it for free for 24 hours. Now that…

We found the above gem while wandering around the comic store yesterday — it appears to be some type of (unauthorized?) biography of Lady Gaga. Unfortunately, mom didn’t give us enough loot to actually buy it, so we’ll never know for sure. What we do know, however, is that this…

As Red Rocks is gearing up for its set of summer shows, we decided to do a little bit of research about its vibrant history. Not surprisingly, we learned that the ancient venue has its fair share of myths and rumors, many of which we’ve collected below. Feel free to…

I’m a Rolling Stones fan. But I’m not the world’s biggest Rolling Stones fan. I’m not a fanatic, and I’m certainly not a bastion of Rolling Stones related knowledge. Up until Tuesday, I owned four Rolling Stones records: Now!, 12 X 5, Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request…

So uh, ahem, well, this happened. During a benefit show for the rain forest an all-star cast of performers spent much of the evening doing cover songs, all culminating in a collection of the crew doing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.” We can’t help but giggle a bit at the absurdity…

I never really got into Massive Attack. Actually, to be honest, most of the ’90s downtempo/trip-hop stuff always eluded me for one reason or another. It always felt so goofy, so bland, so near-new-age. Perhaps this just was my own association. But after actually enjoying Heligoland I decided it was…
