SpokesBUZZ: Torn Between Two Shows
Republished from the SpokesBUZZ blog at: http://spokesbuzz.wordpress.com/2010/11/05/torn-between-two-shows/
What do we do when we have multiple shows in our town. I think it’s a great problem and one I find often here in lovely Fort Collins. Tonight we have Fierce Bad Rabbit and Nathaniel Rateliffe at Road 34 and Musketeer Gripweed’s CD Release party at Hodis.

Thrifty Astronaut – Caffeine Heartache
Thrifty Astronaut’s newest album, Caffeine Heartache, draws us into the memories of love lost with tinny voice samples wrapped tightly inside raw electro/blues backgrounds. Nick Jones (a.k.a. Thrifty Astronaut) takes the lo-fi Indie-blues feel to expanded heights with noteworthy influences of Radiohead and The Black Keys.

Primary Colors shows depth and soul from this Denver trio, which has been making music together since 2008.
“Seeing Red” starts off the album with a bluesy, White Stripes-esque [...]
Sustainable Living Fair 2010 – Permaculture at its finest
This year, the theme of the Sustainable Living Fair (returning to Fort Collins September 18-19) is permaculture. If you’re not familiar with this term, it’s formally defined as “any system of sustainable agriculture that renews natural resources and enriches local ecosystems,” or more simply, “sustainable land-use design.”
Ok, it makes sense on a large scale, but [...]
