Victoria Jackson doesn't want to meet at her house. "The Nation of Islam wants to kill me," she explains apologetically in her inimitable shrill voice. Instead, she picks up a reporter at a Miami-area strip mall. Her weathered Honda Civic is adorned with "Nobama," Marco Rubio, and Tea Part...
One of the most important curatorial departments at the Denver Art Museum (100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, 720-865-5000, www.denverartmuseum.org) is Modern and Contemporary, headed by Gwen Chanzit; a major portion of the Hamilton Building's third and fo...
Clyfford Still. For the opening of the Clyfford Still Museum, founding director Dean Sobel has installed a career survey of the great artist. Clyfford Still: Inaugural Exhibition starts with the artist's realist self-portrait and features his remarkable post-impressionist works from...
Dear Mexican: It's so sad to see your wimpy answers. Your replies scream self-hatred and self-shame for your raza. You're pathetic! No plan or desire to fix Mexico's problems. You're a puto with no huevos. My DREAM Act would be that you Mexicans would stop groveling to...
Sean Daley is family man. He's got a cat, a wife, two children and a house, and he just took his first family vacation, to a small island in the Gulf of Mexico. The music world, of course, knows Daley better as Slug from the Minneapolis-based rap group Atmosphere, an act he co-founded with Anthon...
Rob Lanphier split off from B.U.F.F. Brothers, which owns several taverns in the metro area, and started a new company last fall: Pour Kids. Noonan's Tavern (13521 East Iliff Avenue in Aurora), which B.U.F.F. had opened in March 2011, is part of the Pour Kids group; so is Boone's Tavern...
A friend once trained under a master sushi chef for a couple of years, and it was mesmerizing to watch her work a knife around a vegetable or piece of fish. She was slow and methodical, paring precisely to shape each element of a dish into a delicate, edible work of art: a floret, a perfect julie...
ZetaKaye House has been curating a series of compilations for the past couple of years featuring some of the best music created in Denver. The latest in the series, This Ain't No Cowtown Volume III Kings, is being released as a fundraiser for 3 Kings Tavern co-owner and longtime sup...
9 Circles. On March 12, 2006, five soldiers stationed at a dangerous traffic checkpoint in an area of Iraq that the military called the Triangle of Death entered the nearby home of a fourteen-year-old girl named Abeer Qasim Hamza. Steven Green, a private, took her parents and six-y...
The hero of the red-herring heist flick Man on a Ledge draws two reactions from the Manhattan throng beneath his 21st-floor perch on a Midtown hotel. The first, of course, is the predictable "just get it over with" impatience of New Yorkers impeded by police barricades. The second i...
Reggae legend Anthony B. has been singing revolutionary and political-leaning songs since he emerged onto the scene with his 1996 debut, Real Revolutionary. Shying away from songs that were degrading to women (against the popular tide of music), Anthony B. chose instead to focus on hi...
With the release of 1981's Fat EP, the Descendents became one of a steadily growing stream of hardcore bands from Southern California. And, as was the case with many of those early acts, their music was a youthful catharsis informed by a wickedly absurdist sense of humor. Until Napalm Deat...
A rite of passage in some Native American cultures, Visionquest is also the name of the breakout record label and DJ collective that became one of the biggest acts in underground dance music last year by combining house and techno with catchy, pop-influenced vocals. The band comprises four Detroi...
There is something admirable about the desire of the twee torch-bearers in Los Campesinos! to keep trudging along, even after honesty in lyrics has fallen by the wayside. But primary songwriter and bandleader Gareth Campesinos! and his brood of BFFs revel in making the most of a bloody heart-on-s...
The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has gotten off to a rousing start in 2012 — the year of the alleged Apocalypse. County officials across Colorado report receiving numerous mailings from the FLDS, otherwise known as that crazy Mormon sect led by super-creepy imp...
Point of fact: I am a hipster and a poseur. Initially, I was skeptical. True, I wear tight pants, ride a fixed-gear bicycle and listen to a lot of "underground music," but there's a reason for that: I wear tight pants because they highlight my ripped butt cheeks, which resemble piles of beefsteak...
The creative evolution heard on Hindershot's sophomore release, Curse Us All (slated for release this Friday, January 27, at 3 Kings Tavern), goes deeper than the catchy lead riffs or dynamic song structures. While the band has made considerable musical strides since last year's debut, ...
Lokon and Spellbinder make a formidable team on their latest effort, the fittingly titled Unity Iz Strength. There aren't nearly enough reggae-and-rap collaborations — local or otherwise — out there right now, and this pair makes an utterly compelling case for more like-mi...
The eleven minutes and six seconds of this single track sound as if Tom Nelsen watched The Last Temptation of Christ and Kingdom of Heaven simultaneously and then did storyboards for a graphic-novel version of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. It is ambient in the same sense...
Even though Lola Black's lineup includes former members of Blister 66, Snapstick Dynomite and the Eight Bucks Experiment, the band's new six-song EP, Día de los Borrachos, isn't entirely a punk affair. Sure, there's a punk spirit in revved-up cuts like "Hit the Road" and "Take Back,...
