Generally speaking, we don’t bother talking about paid games here, but in the case of Adslife we’re going to make a slight exception to the rule, because you can check out the first portion for free. Which is to say, Adslife is really something out of the ordinary — and…
If the geeks are really set to inherit the earth (that’s the saying, right?), then it’s time we highlight the musical offerings they have on the table. With Jonathan Coulton’s Artificial Heart being released last week at PAX, it seems as good a time as any to look at our…
Yesterday, while I was doing the dishes, I inexplicably got the theme song from Jurassic Park stuck in my head. This wasn’t the first time. It happens all the time, in fact, no matter what I’m doing, and it’s just the main “catchy” part, not the rest of the song…
Early this year, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) decided to ban the Dire Straits song “Money for Nothing” because of the use of a homophobic slur in the song’s lyrics. In a somewhat surprising move, the Council has reversed the decision, which means Canadian broadcasters can go back to…
We told you last week that things were about to pick up, so hopefully you didn’t blow all your hard earned cash on mimosas this weekend, because there is a ton of great content to highlight this week. We’ve got not one, but two different pieces of zombie media –…
Smartphones have quickly gained traction with all different types of apps, but music apps are hard to dig through to find what’s worthwhile. There are tons released each week, which is why we cut through the crap to bring you the best options. This round, we’re looking at options for…
September is finally here, and we all know what that means — well, nothing, really, but it does mean the changeover to fall is just a few weeks away. In itself, that’s nothing to worry about, but if you’ve been holed up all summer and haven’t gone out for some…
Nobody is really a fan of Netflix’s rate increase, but if you’ve been holding off selling the children into slavery for the price hike, you might want to start hitting up Craigslist, because it’s about to hit you hard. Thankfully, you’ve probably still got a little time before your bank…
It’s not a secret that streaming is quickly becoming the hottest buzzword in music circles, and it turns out two new services are going to be coming into the market — at least in some form. The budget MP3 store eMusic has just announced it’s going to start a radio…
The DocuWest Documentary Film Festival, which got its start just three years ago, has already grown — not only in the number of films submitted, but also in its reputation as a go-to documentary festival. “The selection is really important to us,” says festival founder and artistic director Wade Gardner…
Sometimes, the best games only take a few minutes to play. Or, in the case of Terry Cavanagh’s Hero’s Adventure, about two minutes will suffice. It’s probably one of the shortest RPGs you’ll ever get a chance to experience, but if you happened to grow up in the mountains, it…
Two of Pirate Bay’s founders, Peter Sunde and Frederik Neij, have decided to play nice with copyright officials by launching a new cyber locker service, Bayfiles. The service is similar to the likes of RapidShare and Megaupload, which, according to a 2010 ruling by the District Court of California, cyber…
August was a hell of a month for shows and while we had plenty of touring acts come through, the reunion show was king this month with three, yes, three separate reunion shows. We’re pretty nostalgic here in Denver, apparently. We’ve got so many photos from the month, you probably…
Okay folks, this is pretty much the end of the summer-media blight, so prepare yourself and your pocketbook over the coming weeks for the onslaught of Christmas-gift media. Sure, it will only be September, but these people like to start early. Even still, we’ve got some great stuff coming out…
In a somewhat hilarious and sad piece of news, China has just issued a list of songs they deem as a threat to their national cultural security. The bulk of the list consists of Chinese and Taiwanese artists, but a few American acts slipped in as well, including Lady Gaga,…
Archiving Denver’s considerable rock and roll history isn’t an easy task. We’ve seen countless bands come and go over the years. And when they go, limited run CDs, records and cassettes sometimes tend to disappear with them into oblivion. These records are obviously an important part of Denver’s music history,…
Generally speaking, train-surfing is a practice employed by crazy people who want to relive that scene from Octopussy by acting like complete idiots and running around on top of a train. However, it appears the incredibly careless and ridiculous “sport” might have found some new life in India, although its…
A lot of School Knights early output was distinguished by walls of reverb, sounding more like an underwater recording of whales playing guitars than actual rock music. But on its newest record, the Boulder-based act has managed to blend the wall-pinged vocals with straight up guitar riffs to deliver a…
August is almost over, and that means Labor Day is around the corner and, subsequently, cold, blustery weather. You might want to hit the streets this weekend in your short-shorts and T-shirts while you still can, because it’s not going to be long before you’re complaining about the fact you…
It’s no secret Denver has a love affair with film festivals, but if you’re looking to pack in a ton of films into a single night, there aren’t a whole lot of options. Thankfully, 38 Films is going down tonight at Casselman’s. It’s a collection of 38 films (duh) from…
Total Ghost is hard not to love, and that’s partially thanks to the stellar video work of the Nix Brothers, who directed the bands first video, “Tour Life,” and who also took the helm for Total Ghost’s newest clip, “Space Station.” It’s safe to say the Nix Bros are quickly…
Author Flann O’Brien’s The Third Policeman might not be the most well-known Irish classic, but his absurd tale of time and the nature of existence is one of Ireland’s most darkly hilarious novels. Director John-David Johnson has adapted the story — which involves a narrator who botches a robbery and…
