UPCOMING SHOW: Atmosphere, Common, and Grieves at Red Rocks 1/27
If tickets aren't sold out yet, they'll go soon, so get on that. This is the first winter show Red Rocks has ever hosted. Ever. This song is "Guns and Cigarettes" by Atmosphere, off the album Lucy Ford. Slug is one of my favorite MCs ever, and puts on a great show. Grieves is also coming into a style all his own, and is from Colorado. I can't speak for Common, but it's sure to be a great time.

UPCOMING SHOW AND SONG OF THE DAY: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis — “Otherside Remix”
The video project for "Otherside Remix ft. Fences" took place over a year and a half at a bunch of different locations. It was directed by the same guy who made Macklemore's video for "My Oh My", a tribute to longtime Seattle Mariners announcer Dave Niehaus. Enjoy the video, and for those of you on top of your game, enjoy the show.

UPCOMING SHOWS: Shlohmo at Cervantes
Hailing from the incredibly prolific LA Low End Theory scene (think Flying Lotus, Teebs, Samiyam, etc.), this 21 year old producer crafts some of the most mature "dubstep" in the blogsophere right now. Where so many contemporary electronic musicians simply wield The Womp like a weapon in a war against artful restraint, Shlohmo challenges himself and his listeners to transcend the desire for visceral indulgence, opting instead to dwell in the ethereal realm of texture and stasis. If music is sex, then Shlohmo is tantric. Each song is a kind of subtle mediation upon itself; establishing a theme and then asking "why?", his music quickly betrays its own futility while nevertheless insisting upon its beauty. An irrepressible remixer, Shlomo applies this deconstructive tactic to other people's...
