The vinyl solution.

How much is that blog in the window? Absolutely free.

Backbeat Online has been action-packed today. Read live reviews of Shearwater and Wye Oak as well as Triclops and The Nod. In addition, peruse items about two Denver bands getting their vinyl on, an update about the Denver Message Board and an unintended moment of RNC-related hilarity involving (sort of) the Dixie Chicks, courtesy of Dave Herrera. Confused? He was, too.

Meanwhile, The Cat's Pajamas previews the new Bravo series Top Design and helps style-conscious students get back to basics. And Cafe Society serves up a taste of the French bistro Indulge and takes a bite out of the Spicy Pickle's Yard Bird. That takes a lot of pluck. -- Michael Roberts
