I finally got to cross a classic hip-hop group off of my list that I didn’t think I’d get the chance to see last night– A Tribe Called Quest performed at the Fillmore Auditorium. We also ended-up with VIP seating and drink tickets, so we had a great view of the show away from […]

07Oct06The Roots In Boulder
06Jun06I headed to Boulder last night to see The Roots at the Fox Theatre. I have to admit I was pretty underwhelmed for a lot of the concert– they just don’t sound the same without someone on a trumpet, a sax, and a female vocalist, especially when they play their older material (which is […]
Recent Shows and Events
02May06The past few months have really just been a blur. For whatever reason I’ve been uncharacteristically busy, even beyond the usual school and work craziness.
Seems like I’ve been on a bit of a streak for seeing live shows, though I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to post about them. […]
Smashing Pumpkins Reunited
21Apr06Apparently the Smashing Pumpkins are going to start recording another album this Summer. Hopefully it will be the spark needed to make Billy Corgan NOT put out work like Zwan or his recent solo album, neither of which I cared for obviously.
I don’t quite remember where I heard about KCUV, but I’ve been checking it out for the past couple of days and I dig it. Apparently it’s been around for awhile but very recently switched formats? I’d say about 50% of the songs I’ve never heard before. It seems like an indie […]
Delayed Taste
27Nov05Sometimes I’ll pick-up music that I think I would like without listening to it first, then as it turns-out I’m not that much into it. Years later I’ll pick it up again and realize how great it is. For instance, I really didn’t get much into the “conscious movement” type hip-hop (ie.. the […]
I wish I wouldn’t have waited so long to write a quick review of this concert, but life has been busy.
I went to see Atmosphere, Blueprint, and P.O.S. last Thursday (Nov 10th) at The Fillmore. Despite it’s usual lackluster sound, it ranks very high on the list of concerts I’ve seen; honestly it’s a […]
Dear Black Eyed Peas
09Nov05What happened to you? Your first two albums which had a pop influence while still being hip-hop was quite enjoyable, but your last two albums have been dog shit. Every time an old BEP track plays during shuffle mode on the iPod it’s awesome and it makes me happy, but I can’t stand […]
I spent Friday evening in 5 Points at the Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom to see Ill Bill, Cage, Brother Ali, & Face Candy (featuring Eyedea). This is kind of an interesting line-up since it combines a couple of up and coming, well, thuggish artists (though I suppose Ill Bill is already established through Non-Phixion), with […]
Not to be all fan boy, but here it goes anyway. The new Atmosphere album, “You Can’t Imagine How Much Fun Were Having“, comes-out next week and it’s purely AMAZING. I think one of the things which caught me off-guard is how much better the production quality is on this album compared to […]
