As it turns out, the above Miley cover featuring members of Boulder Acoustic Society is a sign of things to come. Danielle Anderson is currently in the finishing stages of her third album and it will be nothing like the others. Details after the jump…
The arrival of the “Telephone” video has now officially cemented Lady Gaga as the most compelling pop star on the face of the planet (your move, Kanye). It’s only been out for four and a half days, and you could write a doctoral thesis on the Internet’s reaction. And now,…
Pretty Lights • Lyrics Born • Bobby Collins03.13.10 | Ogden Theatre See more photos on the slideshow page. There is so much sweaty cleavage dangling over the railing of the Ogden’s upper deck. One girl, in her haste to abandon her inhibitions, has rolled her shirt up so high that…
We would hate for you to miss out on all the awesome that happens every weekend in our fair city, so we’ve decided to run down five of the best shows in one easy-to-swallow post, with video and audio. Tell us — and the rest of the world — what…
Taio Cruz is a British dude who wrote and produced for A-listers until 2008, when he stepped in front of a mike. Now, two years later, he has broken a Hot 100 record by having the Ludacris-assisted remix of his single “Break Your Heart” enter the chart last week at…
Husband and wife Cory Obert and Andrea Lecos marry fiddle and banjo and tell the story of their lives. They are inspired by bike rides, blackbirds, their two dogs and, most significantly, the amber-trapped past. They know words are inadequate and don’t use them very often, relying much more on…
It has been rumored that Jessica Simpson and Billy Corgan are dating , but we thought they’d at least have the decency to spare the public the fruits of their love. Then we remembered who we were talking about and suddenly the idea that they would record music together seemed…
What you see above is Gomez’s tour bus. Gomez was playing at the Ogden last night, which meant that their bus was more-or-less in front of a certain (ahem) Backbeat contributor’s apartment. It was parked in the exact same spot as every other tour bus that chauffeurs a band to…
200 Million Years • Achille Lauro • The Sunset Curse • Spouses 03.5.10 | Meadowlark It has been a long time since 200 Million Years played a show. The band’s been busy cutting a new EP and folding a hundred copies into little pyramids. Those were in the back of…

Remember the heady days of season three, when Michael was tossing watermelons off the roof of Dunder-Mifflin and The Office was the funniest thing on TV? Unfortunately, the franchise pretty much ran out of awesome more than a year ago. Tonight, NBC will air their second hour long Jim-Pam sap-fest…
Co-produced by heavyweights Daniel Clarke, Scott Lane and Jonathan Meadows, The Congress draws on music of all sorts, from blues and gospel to country and jazz and just a little bit of reggae. The result is expressive and confident, subtle in parts and brazen in others. The album is at…
We’re not sure if it was the Grammy performance, the insane music video, the blockbuster tour, or just a crushing lack of creativity on the part of the American public, but the Peas are on top of the Hot 100 once again. Goody. It’s their third number one single off…
Lil’ Wayne laughs at your puny legal system. It has now been two years since he was caught with a loaded semi-automatic gun in his tour bus. He plead guilty in October, and today, for the second time in two months, his sentencing was delayed. Last time, he needed dental…
Last week, Kanye christened his new web site with the above photo of his girlfriend, Amber Rose. Then, Thom Yorke announced the name of his latest band on the Radiohead blog. Which got us thinking about the other band blogs we have bookmarked. In our bitchin’ browser. Unfortunately, almost all…
Sun Red • Old Radio • Paean • Night of Joy | 02.26.10 | Meadowlark Night of Joy got the opening slot, which is weird because the poster has their thing on it. Their thing is black eyeliner painted into drips and coming down from the eyes of bassist Bree…

We don’t spend much time up north in Fort Collins. But based on what makes its way to Denver, we assume it is the sort of place where a sandwich can be purchased for a song and microbrewed beer flows from every fountain. Maybe that’s not quite it — we…
Appearing in an episode of The Simple Life and then singing uncredited backup vocals on the worst single of last year would not appear to be the path to pop enshrinement. But here is Ke$ha, who did exactly that and is now parked on top of the Hot 100. Above…
Mehko & Ocean Birds, Petals of Spain, Chella Negro, Sour Boy, Bitter Girl, Marcus Church, Dustin Reid, Bokonon Saturday, February 20, 2010 Larimer Lounge Sundays at the Larimer Lounge are pretty much guaranteed to be a mulligan, with the decidedly un-rock ‘n’ roll start time of 4pm. This is not…

Hide your daughters/little sisters: Nat Motte and Sean Foreman are preparing to drop their third third full-length on eager hindquarters everywhere. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Foreman says they’re tentatively shooting for a June release date. After a 10-day writing session somewhere here in Colorado, they’re in LA working…
