Pippin Barr’s The Artist is Present isn’t really a game — it’s more of a bizarre recreation of an already weird performance art piece by Marina Abramović. You’ve probably heard of it, if you haven’t seen it yourself. The game takes its title (and its premise) from the 736-hour performance…
Last we heard, Jeff Minter was kicking out tunes under the name Irene’s March, but it looks like he’s given up the nom de plum in favor of his real name and has released two new albums, an instrumental hip-hop-ish record and something closer to acid folk. Plus dogs and…
It looks like DVD releases are taking the week off anything worthwhile, but thankfully, everything else is picking up the slack as we start the long historical non-fiction countdown to Christmas. There’s a new book about the assassination of President Garfield, as well as one by science-fiction author Neal Stephenson,…
Live Nation Entertainment, which now houses Ticketmaster, House of Blues and Ticketweb, has announced a partnership with the Universal Music Group to create a joint-venture management company for managing and strengthening the label’s acts. This is the first time a major label has teamed up directly with a promoter and…
It would seem the ’90s are going to come back, whether we like it or not. This apparently doesn’t just mean flannel shirts and Velcro shoes; the recently opened Tradesmart, 8500 West Crestline Avenue in Littleton, hopes to also bring you the shopping experience you might remember from that decade…
This past two weeks in music apps have been chock full of awesome for music apps. Some of the incredibly ridiculous things you can do with your smartphone this week: VidRhythm gives you the ability to make stupid songs out of videos, we’re finally introduced to a Turntable.fm app, Play…
You’d think this city would be calming down after the post-holiday street-party season, but it that’s certainly not the case. This weekend is looking especially awesome. Not only do we have a cat-related cupcake benefit, but also robotic dinosaurs, a pancake breakfast, a flash fiction reading and plenty more, and…
We’ve looked at plenty of individual band apps over the last couple of years, but we’ve only seen one creation tool for bands, FanTrail, that made its debut it early this year. Now there’s another player on the plate, Apps Bar, and it will make your music app for Android…
The first thing you’re going to want to do when you walk into the T. Rex Encounter exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, which opens today, is run up to the gigantic, robotic Tyrannosaurus rex. The problem is, the second you do that, the T. rex will…
T. Rex Encounter is opening at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science tomorrow, the new exhibit, which features robotic, interactive dinosaurs has got us rather excited. You can expect a full preview tomorrow morning, but while we’re sitting on our hands in anticipation, we’ve been thinking a lot about…
Up until this morning, MOG was one of the few streaming services that didn’t offer a crippled free version for people to try out. Sure, you could score a fourteen-day trial, but there was no version of the service that was ultimately free. Now, through a combination of ads and…
Chevy Ray Johnston’s Flee Buster is one of the most addictive games we’ve ever touched. Which is saying quite a bit considering it was built for Ludom Dare 21, a 48-hour game design contest in which it also took one of the top prizes over nearly 600 other entries. It’s…
If you look at both Insane Clown Posse (due at the Ogden on September 29) and Odd Future (due in Denver/Boulder next month), you could easily mistake them for being on the same label. Besides the face paint, they have so much else in common: Both groups are loved/hated and…
If you’ve had a bit of an itch for SAUNA’s cassette tape that was released in June but never bothered to pick up a physical copy, we’ve got good news for you: It’s available for free or name-your-price right now. With the weather starting to get a little chilly, this…
New-release week is starting to hit its stride again now that summer is basically over. We haven’t yet hit the action-packed holiday onslaught, though, and this week, we’ve got a lot of fantastic and slightly off-the-beaten-path stuff to choose from, including autobiographies from Roger Ebert and Michael Moore, as well…
Judging by the response to the debut of Cacheflowe and Brer Rabbit’s Yo Soy Sauce project last month, there’s clearly some differing viewpoints on the quality of the song. Now, however you feel about the track, whether you love the track or hate it, here’s a chance to remix it…
Author Benjamin Runkle will be at the Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch tonight to talk about his new book, Wanted Dead or Alive: Manhunts from Geronimo to Bin Laden. In preparation for his appearance, we caught up with Runkle to talk about his book, the importance of manhunts and the…
Now that Labor Day has come and gone, it’s time to really buckle in and start preparing for the big family holidays. Or, it’s just time to leave on the cheap for a little while because you blew all your cash this summer on mid-afternoon mimosas in the sun. Whatever…
Local imprint, Ash From Sweat (To Be Eaten, Zombie Zombie, Collapse) which just celebrated its tenth anniversary last month, preparing to enter it next era with the release of a split 7-inch split with Norweigan band Wits End and the DC-based Perfect Future. While that in itself may not be…
Did you know that you could build things out of LEGOs for a living? We didn’t either, which is why we caught up with local builder Duane Hess to talk about his unlikely career. It’s probably one of the coolest jobs we’ve ever heard of, and while it certainly takes…
This past weekend, Ideal Fathers might have played their final show after five years of rock. And while you may never have a chance to see the band play live again, you can pick up most of its discography for free, including the slightly bonkers remix EP by DJ Soup…
In Benjamin Runkle’s new book, Wanted Dead or Alive: Manhunts From Geronimo to Bin Laden, he tries to bring to light not just the most wanted men in U.S. history, but also the soldiers who hunted them down. While much of this history has been covered, Runkle’s spin adds a…
