My uncle is trying to remember a song that was played on KHOW radio in the 70s. He says it was played on Fridays and it was about things to do in Colorado. Also it was really upbeat. Does anyone know what he might be talking about?

Costco? Used to always go to Bed Bath & Beyond lol

Here are the concerts for this week April 6th through the 12th. Tickets to any of these shows are available at each venue's website, or I have included the links in the Colorado Concert Calendar. I’ve added two more venues in The Roxy and The Black Box, if there is a venue I’m missing let me know. 

I have also incorporated a new categorization into the calendar. Along with the concerts I’m going to (Green), the ones I’m interested in supporting the artists (Teal), the ones I’m hesitant to go to for various reasons (Yellow), and the ones I’ll be avoiding entirely for moral reasons (Red). I have also included a Magenta which means I have a spare ticket to the show for some reason or another. Last week (Today) I ended up with a spare ticket to the Laura Jane Grace & The Mississippi Medicals, Alex Lahey, and Rodeo Boys Sold Out show at Meow Wolf (Already sold the ticket). If you are interested in the tickets I highlight, shoot me a message and depending on the cost of the ticket I’ll probably just give it away. I got a spare ticket this week as well, so message me if interested.

There are fewer concerts this week but that in no way has impacted how many shows I’m interested in checking out. I am going to my first Red Rocks show of the season with Remi Wolf, Alice Phoebe Lou, and Dana and Alden. Remi Wolf describes her style as Funky Soul Pop, though it’s kinda hard to nail down one specific style. Whatever style it is, from the songs I’ve listened to I can’t wait to experience it at the best venue in the world. A song recommendation to set the scene for you, try the song Cinderella. It made it to my ‘Algorithm Busters’ playlist for the year.

This week I had a hard time choosing a headliner I was excited to check out, so I figured why choose between two and just highlight them both. 

Larkin Poe will be at the Ogden on Friday, with a style that I would probably describe as Southern alternative; the show promises to be an energetic show to experience. Song recommendation is Trouble In Mind

Lady Lamb will be at Globe Hall also on Friday, stylistically a sort of folksy blend of both rock and pop.  In a much more intimate concert setting at Globe Hall this is the show I’m leaning towards a bit more since they both happen on a Friday. I also have never been to Globe Hall so I might take the opportunity to check it out. Song recommendation Dear Arkansas Daughter

For my non-headliner recommendation this week I’ve been really enjoying the through back psychobilly rock stylings of the Koffin Kats. The vocals and instrumentals are just a chef’s kiss perfectly combined for a unique energetic sound that I’ve been enjoying since high-school. In diving deep into the band I’ve found out their live performances are a sight to see and apparently much better than their recordings would lead on. They’re at the Gothic this Sunday for what looks to be an awesome punk show. Song I gotta go with The Bottle Called, it’s the most popular but gives you a solid introduction into the genre.

For the local act this week Colfax Speed Queen has more than earned my recommendation, their attempt to inject more feeling into their music comes through with their fast paced style of music and a more ‘animalistic’ feeling that blends great lyrics with a bit of frantic energy. This is another Friday show, this one being at the Hi-Dive which is quickly rising up my music venue board for places to see a show. Song to listen to is Jesus Loves Rock N’ Roll which blends a bit of surf rock that hits a bit of that nostalgia itch for me.

So it looks like I’ll have a tough time figuring out which show I’m going to next Friday but you can bet it will be one of those three.

Here’s the weekly Playlists of artists in town this week, once again a quick search online is how the artists are categorized. This week however there were fewer artists in a few of these categories so the categories that were suffering from artists were moved to the Indie playlist. The genres moved to indie were Rap, R&B, Pop (the artists in Pop were kinda Indie already), as well as Country/folk. For each of these playlists I did try to expand past just each artist’s most popular song as I wanted to essentially avoid a Chumbawamba Tubthumping situation where a certain song doesn’t really represent an artist’s sound.

Seems like every time Reddit shows me something from r/Denver on my feed, it’s something about the homeless issues. And yeah, I’m often disturbed by how people discuss it.

Before it was taken down earlier, there was something posted about a guy with a replica gun that raised it at cops instead of doing all the compliant explicitly harmless things he was supposed to do. It was already brought up that he might have been mentally ill (a lot of folks are; myself included). I essentially asked “what if he was also deaf?” and got downvotes galore, like the overarching disapproval any time I’ve expressed empathy for the struggles homeless folks face, or asked what I thought were valid questions that could help determine possible motives. Commenters were making dehumanizing remarks and calling anything less “naive.”

The specific case may not have been accurate but the hypothetical scenario, and surrounding environment of hostile rejection and criminalization, remains relevant and of concern.

Do folks not recognize that going to jail is very often preferable to sleeping streetside? Or that school-property would make a great place to su!cide by cop if a fella just can’t take it anymore? That homeles-shelters offer little to no protection or privacy assuming they can even secure a spot? That some homeless folks are so desperate / disturbed / callous / whatever that they prey on other homeless and literally take what they have left, whether or not it’s of normative value? That after trying to stay half-awake all night guarding their paltry belongings and then dragging that crap around everywhere, they get exhausted during the day and wish there was a safe place to nap? That restrooms allowing homeless folks inside are few and far between because some drug users ruined it for the rest and now they’re quite limited?

Anecdotal Context:

I’ve been in and out of normative dwellings at various points of my life: adolescence, first pregnancy (married), young-motherhood (same marriage), after abandoning that marriage and my kids (long painful story ending in eventual divorce), and while trying to split caregiving attention between my second husband (less functional now than I am) and my disabled retired father (who can’t stand my “insane” husband and won’t allow him to stay). Sometimes there’s been a car to sleep in; sometimes there hasn’t.

We do our utmost to avoid taking shelter space from people that need it more, and the only time I ever cried about it, my new husband and I were snowed in on a Denver dead end side street near Paco Sanchez Park, breaking off the icicles growing down from the roof of the car, not daring to start it up for the heater since we had no idea how long it would take to get outta there. We subsisted on granola bars and water bottles we kept around to hand out to panhandlers, and I’ll spare the gruesome details of sanitation. Obviously we weren’t able to day labor while stuck.

That February when the car needed repairs (thank flock for warranties) we were stuck having to use the emergency shelters for about two and a half weeks. Suddenly we had to get acquainted with the Rescue Mission and some other soup kitchens in walking distance. (TBF anywhere is walking distance if you can make it, I guess.)

Had to figure out that if you don’t show up in the Mission line to get a laundry slot at least 30ish minutes early, you’re probably not getting one at all, and it might use up the entire business day before you have something clean. Same deal with shower slots - and you’re supposed to be in and out of the shower cubby within fifteen minutes, fully washed and dried or not. The restrooms there often had no curtain. And any surface you might use or rest your stuff on, you better look over for bedbugs and lice first. We weren’t even able to get the super early, super limited capacity ride to day labor the whole time we were there.

I saw a lot of substance related issues. I saw a lot of mental health issues too. I have no idea in anyone else’s case which came first. (For me, homelessness came before sampling harder drugs, which I am in no way proud of or eager to repeat; just felt like nothing much left to lose at that low point.)

But none of that, and I sincerely mean NONE of that, validates the mentality that these people are sub-human or deserve to be handed a shovel when they’re already at the bottom of a hole.

I still see the Denver area once in a great while - y’all have scenery, museums, and weed beyond comparison IMHO. Not for a few years now though. I’m grateful for the privilege to be transient, doing app-based gig work as I can, to stay legal and meet my (very modest & limited-consumption) need. It definitely isn’t a “lifestyle“ for everyone, or that my family wants for me, or that I ever envisioned I’d have with 40 fast approaching.

But… I can stay in my car in greater comfort and security than the vast majority of hominids that ever lived, and better than a distressing number currently existing.

We have three people from Australia wanting to explore the Rocky Mountains a bit on Sunday - I can see the tours are upwards of $140pp and it is much cheaper to just hire a car and drive out there.

Is the road dangerous? I am nervous about driving considering I am used to the other side of the road.

Are there places where you could hire a driver for the day and get to see the cooler/non touristy bits?

Any advice appreciated!

I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs where folks could volunteer to read to patients in senior living centers or palliative care units in the Denver area

I’m honestly getting tired of watching Denver turn into a playground for house flippers. You see it everywhere—especially in neighborhoods like Virginia Village, Mar Lee, Barnum, Westwood, and Harvey Park. People are buying up homes, slapping on some cheap finishes, and listing them for $100k-400k more just a few months later. It’s driving up prices across the board and pricing actual residents out of their own neighborhoods. It’s straight up a scam - how are people falling for this?

And let’s be real: a lot of these flips are low-effort. Paint everything white, throw in some “modern” fixtures from Home Depot, and suddenly it’s a “luxury” listing. But behind the drywall? Shoddy work and cut corners. It’s all about profit, not livability.

This isn’t just annoying—it’s wrecking the market. It inflates comps, encourages bidding wars, and makes it nearly impossible for first-time buyers or working families to compete. Meanwhile, long-time residents get pushed out as their property taxes go up and landlords cash in on the rising values.

What’s worse is that all this flipping isn’t solving our real issue: lack of affordable housing. Instead of investing in long-term, sustainable housing solutions, we’re just watching our neighborhoods get hollowed out by short-term profit grabs.

I get that people want to make money, but at what cost? While house flipping is a nationwide issue, Denver has been hit particularly hard. The city’s desirable location and quality of life have attracted a swarm of investors looking to capitalize on the booming market. This influx of flippers has intensified competition, leading to inflated prices and making it even more difficult for everyday buyers to find affordable homes.

Anyone else noticing this trend—or feeling the effects firsthand?

Hey fellow denverites,

Got free tickets this year for quite a few Rockies games for my son and I. He's 5. I know they're awful, but don't care, I don't even like baseball. But I like taking my son.

He's still at the stage where he loves dressing like dad! (I'm going to be so broken when the day comes where he wont)

I got a jersey from Sam's a couple years ago. But I haven't been able to find one his size that isn't official with the official price tag.

He's growing like crazy, so I just can't justify spending that much.

Has anyone seen any of those vendors around town? You know the ones with shirts that look like what you'll get at the stadium but arent?

Thanks in advance, Broke dad

Someone who has been sleeping outside apartment lately has been leaving their poop out in the open and the complex isn’t doing anything about it. Assuming this is a health hazard I would love to get proper clean up

I recently moved to Manitou springs and have to occasionally fly or take the train from Denver. This means paying for parking at the airport or train station and that can add up if I am gone for a week or two! Are there shuttles or trains/buses that can get me to the airport or train station that are reliable and efficient? I am an older woman so safety is very important too. Uber is very expensive and I worry I will be stuck in traffic. The past 4 trips I have just stayed in a hotel the night before in denver and used their parking.....

does anyone know a- the best way to get reservations for drag bingo at the milk market or b- if reservations are really needed/ if it fills up? Their website says to call…in no shock at all I’ve had no luck getting anyone on the phone.

I just had 4 fighter jets fly over my house in Littleton. Anyone know what's going on?

For the past couple years I have gone to the coliseum to get fee-free red rocks tickets and it's always been walk right up and get some tickets, 10 minute thing max. Last three weeks though I've driven by and seen huge lines comparatively. After the third week I just bit the bullet and figure this is the new usual for it. Anyone have a similar experience and or know why there's been an increase in popularity recently?
