Band of Horses

Band of Horses is going to be touring, but apparently they didn't like dealing with snow the last time they were in Denver (at the Larimer Lounge!), so they're not visiting on this latest batch of dates. All I have to say is....come back in the summer. March IS our snowiest month. sheez.

Mary J. Blige

Here's some video clips of an interview with Mary J. Blige

early lookout

South plays live on KEXP April 22, 1p MDT.

Itzhak Perlman plays in Denver tomorrow night with the Colorado Symphony. It's been sold out for months, but maybe you'll get lucky and find someone selling/scalping their tix.

There's still a little bit left to ski season....

Kanye in Colo.

Kanye West at the Colorado State Fair grounds??? I thought it was an April Fools Day prank, but the Pueblo Chieftain says it's no joke. Tickets on sale tomorrow (Monday) for the show Thurs., April 27.

from the Denver March Pow Wow

Funny correction!

NEW YORK (AP) -- In a March 23 story about the ratings for the 10th-season premiere of "South Park," The Associated Press reported erroneously that the show's grade-schoolers tried to revive the apparently dead character Chef. Instead, it was "Super Adventure Club" members who tried to revive Chef.

MTV blurb. They still love NY, despite it's drrty, drrrty air.

Santa Dog celebrates its new EP release tonight in Bristol. Details The four-song "Belle De Jour" EP does indeed show Santa Dog can do sparkly, tongue-in-cheek pop. The bones are here: tight playing, rich vocals from Rowena Dugdale, lyrics that might sound silly when said aloud but sound ok in song...Will wait to pass judgment until there's a full album out. Santa Dog is honing its sound and satiating fans with EPs for now whilst courting the zines. keep an eye on them

post-SXSW

Mr. Destructo is at it again:
from 2005
and from The Denver Post this year:"Porlolo missed some sets after singer Erin Roberts broke her leg in two places at a party late Wednesday night. She jumped on Post pop music critic Ricardo Baca for a hug and they fell, prompting her trip to the hospital..."

Snow day

Big snow day on the way. Get your groceries early today, say by early afternoon. It might be hard to get around once the snow starts flying, so here's a look at some recent DVDs that might be fun to rent once you're done building the snow igloo and need to snuggle inside with hot cocoa:

Hustle and Flow
Lost in Translation. (saw the film in the theater, but I heard the DVD's pretty good)
Moulin Rouge. I'll admit, I only kinda liked the movie, but when I saw all the extras on the DVD, with full uncut looks at the choreographed dances and with commentary from Baz Luhrmann on why he chose the songs he chose for the movie, etc, it made me appreciate the movie much much more. (And the web site is fun too. Click around until you get to "Toulouse Tonight" for interviews with cast/ crew conducted by John Leguizamo. Ha!
Spirited Away
Hero. Seen it, but the movie's beautiful!
Pride & Prejudice
