Live Preview: Daft Punk at Mother f-ing Red Rocks

Daft Punk plays Red Rocks, tomorrow, July 29th.

I can't begin to describe how sad I am to be missing this show. I'll let the photos from pfork do the describing for me. More photos here. Sigh.

Live Preview: Silversun Pickups w/ Sea Wolf

Tonight at the Ogden, Silversun Pickups return to Denver. My only complaint seeing them open for Viva Voce last year was that I wanted to see them a) headline and b) in a larger venue. Sometimes wishes come true!

Julio at Cause=Time kindly posted some mp3s, get ready!
