ooooooo, yeah, mountain sun is good. the raspberry wheat is muy bueno and their ipa is good too (but then i'm kind of an ipa whore...). i love their hummus sammich, and you can also create your own grilled cheese! a very veg-friendly restaurant.

according to the fox website, doors are at 8:30, show at 9:00, though with the fox it's always a gamble on whether a show is going to start on time or not. the sink is nice because it's right next to the fox - it's a boulder institution there on the hill. good food and usually some great drink specials. have fun, i'll be attending a graduation in fort collins on saturday night...

great description. i can't wait 'til they come back thru colorado...

and i'm still in love with it... i think this will be next:

good shoes - think before you speak. i really like this album. canada and the uk are pretty much kicking my ass in 2007...

from this: to this: and now to bed...

nice. he played denver last week but i was in mexico ; not that i'm complaining...

saw andrew almost two weeks ago and still can't stop listening to this amazing album.....

stars of the lid - and their refinement of the decline

nice description, maudie. it was the same way here... colin is very very good at what he does.

i listened to it the other day, it's beautiful.

2 1/2 hours, really, is a bit long for me. even talking wilco. 2 hours is about my limit. but then i'm old.

way to go, u. i didn't do ticker tape hands in denver either, but i was too far back for colin to see me.

ok, so partly i can't stop listening to andrew after the show last night... but still this album just gets better every time i listen to it. which is saying a lot when you consider that i loved it the first time i heard it and i've spun it at least 25-30 times. i know it's early.... but this could be my 2007 album of the year.

he sold out 350-capacity bluebird theater last september, then last night a sold out 700-capacity fox theatre. not bad at all. in between, in december, he opened for devotchka at the ogden, which i believe holds around 1100. that was awesome. sadly i was introduced to andrew with mysterious production of eggs. i was shocked to learn how long he'd actually been making music. i'm happy for him, he is amazing and deserves every bit of success that he gets. of course i am sad for myself because i'll probably never get to see him at a place like the fox theatre again...

hey will - well, you've already found just about the two best things in denver in twist & shout and tattered cover. i go to a lot of live shows, and these are my favorite venues: hi-dive larimer lounge bluebird theater fox theatre (in boulder) i just don't like the bigger theaters anymore. i won't go to the fillmore unless there's someone i really want to see. gothic and ogden are ok. the paramount is beautiful, but they don't very often host bands that i want to see. recently i've seen the decemberists and imogen heap there and both were amazing shows. red rocks is awesome, it'

it went something like this: colin played solo for the first couple of encore songs, and he stretched his mike into the crowd for people to request stuff (the fillmore has a barrier a few feet from the stage). some woman gets to the mike and says "take your pants off! give me my bra back! play (insert song here)!" i forgot what song she actually requested. colin threw her bra back into the crowd.

there was nothing even remotely resembling craziness at that show... though it did remind me that a girl threw her bra on stage at the decemberists show on sunday. then she asked colin for it back...

that is a long fucking show. i can't remember the last time i saw a band do two encores...

Wow. Tonight was amazing. Andrew played for nearly two hours to a mesmerized crowd. I can't get over how insanely talented he is. The only mild disappointment was that he only did 2 songs from Eggs. Oh well, everything he did play was incredible. Apostle Of Hustle was fabulous. I've listened to their record a lot this year and was really looking forward to seeing them tonight. They were tight, and really engaging. The show was sold out, and the theatre was pretty full for their opening set, still you could hear a pin drop. It was really really really nice. Here's the set: Steve

rockies v. mets - rox up 10 to zip.

fake tales of sf is amazing. i liked the debut, nothing overly amazing, but fun. i do plan to give this one some more time, but this band has definitely not done a lot for me in the past. i vastly prefer jamie t, to be honest...

^and a great site that is! but, really, do we have enough rich's from the uk 'round here?!?
