The Best Albums of 2006
-
Artist:
As sure as Dick Clark, 'best of' lists appear as soon as New Year's rears its confetti-filled head. Somehow though, it seems a bit pompous to heap superlatives on items from a year that's barely ended. Albums take time to integrate themselves into our lives; great albums grow with us.What's more, there are a lot of albums cranked out every year. As such, it is difficult to make an authoritative st

The Colorado Underground
-
Artist:
To all outside appearances, the music-scene along the Colorado front range consists solely of: Boulder hippie/jam-bands, frat-boys singing cover-songs, and a smattering of bluegrass. It's easy to see how this conception could arise. For a long time, we would have even concurred with the assessment. The indie world seemed so far away. Bastions with magnificent names like Portland, New York, ...

Small Town News

Artist:
One of the great benefits of living in a city is the opportunity for camaraderie it provides. Take, for example, Coopersmith’s weekly "Geeks Who Drink":http://geekswhodrink.com trivia challenge. Each Sunday night at 7:00pm, various locals gather in Old Town, Fort Collins for a battle of wits, just like that famous scene from the Princess Bride. This is a contest dominated by the Justice Leag.

The 12-Minute Free-write: #1
-
Artist:
High school English, 1997. Every single day, at the beginning of class, we had to do a free-writing assignment. Twelve minutes was the arbitrary time-limit imposed. Why twelve and not ten? The world may never know. Whatever the case, twelve minutes helped mould the writer I am today. And so, taken by a fit of nostalgia, I shall embark upon another of these strange little exercises. Start...

Essay: The Ins and Outs of Music Criticism
-
Artist:
'Tis a sticky business, the job of the critic. People want to be told what to like. They also resent being told what to like. This strange dichotomy is not a new phenomenon. But criticism used to be the realm of the elitist. Now, thanks to the great democratizer that is the internet, we have seen the rise of the everyman-cum-critic. Just google "music reviews" and you'll get a list of abo...

Album:Love Will Tear us to Shreds
The new vee devce album is almost ready to be shipped off to the land of CD manufacturing. I'm excited, but also nervous as I always seems to be before major musical events. I've done most of the arranging on the album so its success or failure could rest heavily on my shoulders. vee's songs are great and I've done my best to enhance them. Almost every instrument in our arsenal is on this a...
