@bigtentdenver – Thank You

I can’t begin to imagine all the preparation and effort that went on behind the scenes at The Big Tent here in Denver this week. From open to close, countless staff members have been bending over backwards – working to ensure that the bloggers here had the most accommodating environment ever created for our [...]

Bloggers Meet Brian Moran

Just a little while ago Brian Moran, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Virginia in 09, came through The Big Tent here in Denver to introduce himself to bloggers from across the country.
Despite the necessity of short exchanges, Del. Moran left a favorable impression with the bloggers he met.  He also stopped to [...]

Inventing Dissent

The inside story from Denver is this – traditional media types desperate for division in the Democratic Party continue to ask and pester convention-goers on whether or not there is still division after Clinton’s speech last night. The fact is that Democrats here are pretty much universally happy with her remarks and believe she [...]

C-SPAN Cheered by The Big Tent Bloggers

Apparently last night’s coverage on MSNBC was not up to snuff for all the bloggers here at The Big Tent in Denver. According to Brian Leubitz of Calitics, MSNBC’s decision to run with talking heads over the actual speeches Monday night in the Pepsi Center was not what the bloggers wanted to [...]

DNC Blogging from the Big Tent

Its time to kick off my Denver DNC blog coverage – and The Big Tent is the perfect place to start it (coffee is good and the bandwidth is amazing). Not Larry Sabato is not stop excitement over any and all Puma coverage – and most likely to take [...]

Put on the Playlist: N.E.R.D.’s Everybody Nose Remix Video (ft. Kanye & Lupe)

Got to love the old school video game graphics in N.E.R.D.’s remix of Everbody Nose featuring Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco (h/t to MTV Multiplayer and you can read more about its making over at MTV).

Put on the Playlist: The Presets – Talk Like That (video)

Wasn’t sure I liked it at first but this video by The Presets for Talk Like That has really grown on me along with the song. Crazy chick (possibly on that coke diet) dancing with still pictures of the band in the back – is actually pretty money after the second or third [...]

Put on the Playlist: Bon Iver – Skinny Love (Live at Later… with Jools Holland) Video

I’ve had this song on constant repeat the last week its that ridiculously good.   The live version where its just his guitar and his strained voice is absolutely amazing and sounds so much more full, sincere and meaningful than the For Emma, Forever Ago version.  Major h/t to Lykke Li via Stereogum:
[...]

Put on the Playlist: Lykke Li – Breaking It Up (Video)

Lykke Li’s new video for Breaking It Up just hit the music blogosphere today and its money. she shows off plenty of her dance moves in the vid to go along with the song that I’ve had on heavy rotation for a while now – she’s also one of the two women in the [...]
