With more new music being released today than ever before, people seeking to expand their music libraries can get overwhelmed. The sheer amount of content available on the internet is staggering — iTunes alone offers over 43 million songs! (Assuming that each of those songs averages four minutes, it would...
Back in January, we noted that the death of Jessie Hernandez, a seventeen-year-old shot and killed by Denver Police Department officers while she was behind the wheel of a stolen car, resulted in a new focus on the law enforcers shooting into moving vehicles. The rationale for doing so? In...
Even the experts at Schmuck of the Week headquarters find it challenging to figure out who's the schmuck in certain situations. Example: The case of Boulder's Trey Brasher. The 21-year-old has been arrested for, among other things, mailing gummy bears infused with LSD to New Jersey. How big of a...

Like a sculptor prepping an exquisite block of marble to reveal the statue concealed within, Dale Woerner hesitates for a moment, his just-sharpened ten-inch breaking knife poised for the first crucial cut. This well-marbled specimen isn’t a slab of metamorphic rock, though, but a nearly 25-pound chuck roll isolated from...
Art shows and festivals are popping up all over Denver and around the state. But before you sample everything else opening this weekend, you can still catch Vault, the Metropolitan State University alumni exhibition at the Center for Visual Art, which closes July 25. Here's what Michael Paglia has to...
At the dramatic end of the first act of Matilda the Musical, the much-wronged little heroine shouts out her rage, pain and defiance in one charged sentence — and a murmur arises from the audience: “What did she say?” That’s right: It’s impossible to understand half the dialogue. Or the...
I have a son who will turn two in November, and like many kids his age, he is absorbing language with a vengeance. Every day he has at least one new word to share with the people who make up his current world. Sooner or later, one of those words...
The annual Great American Beer Festival swept through Denver last weekend, and this year’s version may have been the best I’ve been to in a while. The reasons for that are clear: The organizers at the Boulder-based Brewers Association made some simple but significant changes that really helped change the...
Law-enforcement opponents of the 2012 marijuana measure Amendment 64 predicted that crime would escalate if the measure was approved. In contrast, A64 backers argued that crime would actually go down as a result of limited pot sales being legalized. After voters gave their blessing to the amendment, the debate continued,...

400 Rabbits at MezcalLast May, Mezcal went dark, but the closing of the venerated East Colfax restaurant wasn’t a permanent one. After a three-month remodel, a new incarnation of Mezcal re-opened with a few tweaks to the decor, a few splashes of fresh paint and a revamped menu. When the...
Last November, we introduced you to Gordon Klingenschmitt, who we described as an "exorcism-doing, gay-slamming just-elected State Representative" — from the Colorado Springs area, naturally. Since then, Klingenschmitt, a preacher who delivers regular YouTube sermons for his ministry, PrayInJesusName.com, has provided plenty of fodder for critics, claiming, for instance, that...
James Holmes will spend the rest of his life in prison. On Friday, three and a half months after Holmes's trial began, a jury of nine women and three men delivered his punishment. Judge Carlos Samour read the verdicts just after 5 p.m. They were all the same. “We, the...
“This beer is for chugging or chucking,” shouts In The Whale frontman Nate Valdez, right after a shiny, labeless can is thrown past his head. The punk rock duo is on stage at Black Shirt Brewery. It’s the Saturday night release party for the band's beer, Whales Suck, and fans...
I’ll try any type of beer, coffee or cannabis at least once, and this strategy has led me to some amazing finds. The only danger is that you might try something — in this case, a strain of pot — and fall in love with it, only to never see...
The recent terrorist attacks in Paris were senseless in innumerable ways, big and small — among them the fact that gunmen killed more than 80 people at a Bataclan theater show headlined by Eagles of Death Metal, a band that's all about fun, not global politics. The group's name appeared to unsettle...

It’s difficult, maybe impossible, for small, local bookstores to compete with the Amazons of the world. It’s just as hard for local authors with a smaller audience to compete in those marketplaces against the Stephen Kings and Dale Carnegies. Faced with those realities, Longmont based author and financial professional Ron...
If they're convicted, Alese Silva and Ivan Lopez could be put away for quite a long time over a crime that netted a very small reward: a car they drove for only a short distance and $80 in cash. The pair are accused of kidnapping two people over this sum...
Due to circumstances within our control, we missed a post when it comes to our monthly roundup of memorable mug shots. As a result, the latest edition is supersized. Look below to see the booking photos that stood out most in both March and April — a collection that comes...
