@171 If i remember correctly Vinyl Junkie (accros from wax trax on 13th) was shut down for selling bootlegs. I had an almost unlistenable Jesus and Mary Chain bootleg I purchased there that I absolutley loved....

Argh. I can't stop. This dvd is actually pretty fantastic. Lots of commentary from the folks who shaped Denver into what it is today with a good focus on the 70's up to today. It has kind of an industial...

After a brief search this link is about the best article I can find mentioning Tom Hollar and Imi Jimi. This was heartbreaking to me considering I spent a few years as a teenager thinking Tom was about the coolest...

Imi Jimi. It's a sad story if you know it, but I came in the first day they opened and hung out there almost daily for a few years after that....

@brokenrobot - We might recognize eachother. I don't remember it being called the birdhouse. I think we called it the silos or something. Slept there once in a big pile of foam chunks....

Whoa ... what memories! I'm wondering if anyone has any info about the bands in the early/mid/late 60s. I used to go to the Rugged Room, if anyone remembers it (on Alameda?). There's one band in particular I would like to find out if any recordings exist. Anyone remember "Fuzz", from Thornton? "Lothar and the Hand People"? KIMN radio had a battle of the bands at the Denver Arena downtown (gee, I think that was the name of it - it's now part of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts). Maybe there's a good website with this kind of...

stantoni, the missing line is "And we'll have fun, just you and me / on K... L... Z!" Also, more information about Jay Mack, Niles Lishness and Farley McLooth can be found on the internet. Some of it was surprising to me. I knew about his heart attack when he was doing an overnight show, but was somehow unaware of the car crash at the height of his fame that led to his later health problems, or that he died a few months after having his life saved by an alert listener. A sad end for one of two disk...

Mountain States Bank on east Colfax... They had a pretty catchy ad on the radio around 1982. I don't have the actual audio, but I soooo remember it: (Chorus group) Oh they say that time is money, so you spend it drivin' 'round, Drinking dollar gasoline and smellin' up the town, Searching for a parking place that you can call your own, (Woman's voice) Hey, there's a spot (Man's voice) Oh no it's not, it's a (honk honk) loading zone. (Chorus group again) Now, is this any way to bank, any way to bank? Driving 'round in circles while you're...

Hey Hitman, Weren't you also up here in Wyoming for a while on the radio doing sports? Colorado is still the best I still miss being down there. Will be back one of these days. All the good memories of the past...
