The '90s are long gone. But, hey, sixteen-year-old kids are still getting sad, right? So why not throw some pillow-soft vocal melodies about missed opportunities in love over sunrise guitars and piano and puppy-dog drums?

Years after moving back to Denver from New York, Emily Frembgen still has a 917 area code. It therefore shouldn't come as a surprise that the singer-songwriter is packing up her guitar and heading back to the Big Apple at the beginning of June. But she's not leaving Denver empty-handed: Her new C...

The Mile High Makeout: Denver hip-hop fights teen suicide
Since its inception, hip-hop and its antecedents have been blamed for nearly every imaginable social ill. Gang violence? Blame rap. Misogyny? Blame rap. Parachute pants? Well, ok. You've got a point there. Rarely does the genre get credit for positive social change. A crew of Denver hip-hoppers, however, is setting out to change all that with events like next weekend's R'Evolution, benefitting Voz y Corazon, a teen suicide prevention project sponsored by the Mental Health Center of Denver.

Beatles Rooftop Concert - 2/3
"I've Got a Feeling" "One After 909" Thursday - 30 January 1969 Apple Corps (Roof), London The Beatles' celebrated rooftop show. An idea conceived during a meeting on 26 January, it was the first of two consecutive Beatles/Billy Preston performances which concluded the Get Back project, for on 31 January they ran through numbers inside the basement studio. This day's work has passed into history as the Beatles' last live performance, even if it couldn't be classified as a concert. The 42-minute show (about half of which comprises the sensational close to the Let It Be film) was a lunchtime blast into the cold wind - imagine a high London rooftop in January - that brought part of the capital to a standstill, until the police, in turn, brought the show to an enforced conclusion. Much was commercially used from the 42 minutes on the roof, in the Let It Be film and on the Get Back (unissued) and Let It Be albums. What follows is a detailed description of the full rooftop repertoire, as preserved on EMI's eight-track tapes, with a guide to how it was made available.
