Denver hasn’t been short on film festivals in recent years, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t space for one more. 38 Films hopes to differentiate itself by mixing genres and letting 32 pros and amateurs display their short films together on one screen. “We wanted to allow for a huge…
Alex Winter, perhaps best known as Bill, from the band the Wyld Stallyns in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure has just announced he’ll be hopping behind the camera to direct a feature-length film about the peer-to-peer file-sharing service that helped start the digital music revolution, Napster…
Ben Burbank’s And Just Like That I Was Free is a game created for Ludum Dare 21 (note: if you want to kill an entire day, follow that link and play almost 600 games created in three days) that isn’t so much a game as it is a story of…
Just like that, summer is basically over. It’s getting cooler at night and in the mornings and soon enough, you’ll be complaining about the cold and the snow. You’ll want to start hoarding entertainment now, so you’ll be prepared when the big storms start hitting and locking you inside. We’ve…
In a decision yesterday, a federal court judge found that cloud music service MP3tunes does not violate copyright laws by using a single copy of an MP3 rather than storing several copies for each person. This is, without a doubt, the biggest news in cloud music storage’s short history…
So, you own this fancy new smartphone, but you have no idea what you’re doing with it. You’ve been playing Angry Birds every day, but you’ve otherwise been wondering what this tiny pocket computer could possibly do. Well, a lot actually, which is why we dig up some of the…
Rob Delaney opened his own show at the Gothic Theatre last night. As in, he walked out before the opener and ran through a small stretch of material, as an opener, for the opener. Because that’s just the kind of guy Rob Delaney is. He might be a bit dirty…
When copyright law was revised in 1976, there was a provision that gave artists control of their work after 35 years, provided they applied two years in advance. The law didn’t go into effect until 1978, but now artists like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Loretta Lynn can…
The weekend is confirmed, and if you’re still working right now, you’re doing something wrong. Grab yourself a cocktail and get away from the desk this second — you deserve it. If you’re too responsible a worker to just get up and walk away, we still have you covered, even…
After a four year legal battle with over 3,000 independent music publishers, YouTube has agreed to pay licensing fees to the National Music Publishers Association. While this doesn’t affect YouTube’s preexisting contracts with the four major labels, it does change the way YouTube and its parent company, Google, will monetize…
This Sunday, comedian Rob Delaney will be at the Gothic Theatre bringing his unique blend of incredibly manly, slightly offensive humor to Denver. To prep for the big event, we talked to him about a few of the main points of his stand-up, which mostly boils down to sex, sex,…
Performer Kelsie Huff’s one-woman show, HUFFS, is a bit hard to explain. It’s as much a monologue as it is a standup routine, but there’s also a hint of performance mixed in there. “I think because I go to a darker place in HUFFS than most standup, I will call…
Comedian Rob Delaney isn’t afraid to talk dirty, and the majority of his jokes revolve around sex in some way. But where most comedians would delve into an offensive universe ruled by testosterone, Delaney manages to craft jokes so absurdly misogynistic that he believes they end up championing woman more…
In a press release last week, Century Media announced it would be pulling its music from the streaming music service Spotify. The metal-centric label is certainly not the first to express its distrust of streaming services, and it probably won’t be the last. As fans and consumers have been pushing…
Marcus Richert’s Lee-Lee’s Quest isn’t a game you play because it’s going to move you or impress you with its visuals or even offer a challenge — you’ll play it because it’s weird, humorous, self-referential and just plain bizarre. It shouldn’t come as a surprise seeing as how it’s coming…
Long before Lil Wayne allegedly sampled a track from Sword & Sworcery, independent video-game soundtracks have consistently been topping the sales charts on Bandcamp. It’s gotten to the point that when a reasonably hyped game releases a soundtrack, it’s almost inevitable that it will end up in the top five…
A good chunk of people are getting ready to head back to school in a week, so with just seven days of freedom remaining, this might be your last chance to get some luxury reading in. Or you can just read books during lectures, like we did. Whatever you choose,…
We can’t count the times Magic Cyclops has called it quits, but it looks like the bandana hero might officially be finished in its traditional form. But it’s still not gone forever — due to popular demand, Magic Roboclops has been born, a cyborg version of Magic Cyclops that struggles…
What makes Google+ games, since people apparently now demand a gaming platform on every social network imaginable, different than Facebook games is pretty simple: the games don’t show up in your feed, meaning you won’t be bombarded with news every time a friend tops your score or plants a new…
The riots in the U.K. destroyed a lot of things, but one dear to our hearts is the Sony distribution center that housed the bulk of one of the largest distro’s in Europe, PIAS. On the August 9, looters torched the entire facility, destroying the inventory of over 150 labels,…
Summer is already starting to close in on us, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still a bit of time to get out in the sun and have some fun. If you need to do it on the cheap this weekend, don’t fret: We’ve got plenty of activities and a…
Hollagramz might currently be touring around the country at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped the group from dropping a new EP, which is available for free download. The two song effort, dubbed Galactic Leash EP, is a bit more subdued than a lot of the act’s previous work, but…
