What is the UMS you ask? Well that's a silly question. Many have called the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase the "South by Southwest of Denver." Originally a one day, four band gig at the Bluebird, this showcase has bounced between Bluebird and Gothic before finally moving (and exanding) to South Broadway in the historic Baker district. Otherwise known as the hipster herding grounds. Excerpted directly from the UMS About page: "At the UMS , the presentation of the music is as important as the music itself.

Before you head off on the long 4th of July weekend of merriment and BBQs (mostly for my US readers, but heck, it's a good idea wherever you live), I have finally completed my annual summer mix for 2009: " Late Nights and Longboards "! I don't surf, I just pretend I'm one of those girls in the picture up there - with the especially foxy swimsuits.

http://kvdu.du.edu/ In a moment of highly deluded judgment, the fine folks at DU - that's right, the University of Denver, the fine institution with a gorgeous campus, high tuition, and a school full of smarty-smarts - invited the Donnybrook Writing Academy to drag our drunk asses into the studio for a radio takeover. And while we don't quite understand the technology, we shall be hosting a Donnybrook Fine Special of Societal Advancement on KVDU October 30th from 4-6 pm , and here's what it's turned into: -Five writers: Angora Holly Polo, [...]
Centuries ago, Academy writers fine-tuned the art of leisure in all its manifestations–opium haze lounging, harem collecting, scrapbooking. Here they pass that knowledge onto you; the result is a highly-polished calendar of events called The Problem of Leisure. Angora Holly Polo: Nintendo Night at Lion's Lair!
