Protests in Denver

Embedded video: 

During the Democratic Convention at Denver's Convention Center a large body of protestors meet up with heavy totolitarian resistence. From ANP:

A calm political protest quickly turned chaotic as anxious Denver police surrounded protestors peacefully marching toward the Democratic National Convention Center. After trapping the crowd between two buildings, hundreds of officers used pepper spray, batons and unwarranted aggression. After being surrounded for 20 minutes, two ANP producers managed to escape after recording the whole affair.

Tony Clement Rides Again

Help needed - theatre or music experience helpful

Thanks to everyone who showed up at the Unity Project's Anniversary Open House. Fortunately the rains stopped long enough for us to have a great celebration. Matti spun some tunes and everyone enjoyed the barbeque and salads prepared by residents. 

We are beginning to prepare for our next couple of events.

First we'll have Up with Art in late November with the location yet to be determined - possibly the Oxford Arms or the London Music Club. Watch for details and a poster.

The other event for which I need some community volunteers will be a new event.  read more »

"Colorlist's debut album, though in many ways audibly the product of a sonic history involving groups like Tortoise and the Sea and Cake and its many affiliates (not a total surprise that there's a guest from Isotope 217 on here), makes for one of the finer efforts in that vein in a long while, thanks to the core band's ear for beautiful, structured arrangements and moody atmospherics.  The air of careful, beautiful delicacy that informs the entire album has some astonishing high points..." - AllMusic.com  3/08   read more »
