Last week, our Backbeat blog played Hater v. Homer with Denver’s own Lumineers — and at this weekend’s Independent Spirit Awards, host Andy Samberg did likewise. “Those Silver Linings Playbook ads are on so much, you can’t avoid them,” he said in his opening monologue. “With that Lumineers song?

Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $20,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
