Who? There are two types of memory these days. There is real memory, where the wafting aroma from taking trash out can transport you back under that bridge where you first tried heroin in the 80s. Then there is internet memory, whereby the deafening buzz of the newest thing relieves you of all faculty to conjure up what you ate for breakfast any given morning. So it is totally understandable that you can't remember the sounds of either the Spinto Band or Tapes 'n Tapes (pictured), even if you championed their work on mix CDs at music club fewer than twelve months ago. So here's your chance to reacquaint yourself with the two acts:

The Spinto Band recently announced another national tour and will be coming through Denver to play at Larimer Lounge on March 6.

Tapes 'n Tapes also recently announced their spring tour schedule, and it includes a stop Bluebird Theater on May 17.

AEG announced yesterday that cult music hero and troubled troubadour Daniel Johnston will be playing the Ogden Theatre on Saturday, April 5. No word yet as to who might open for the man, whose life story is told in the brilliant documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston, but with Denver's burgeoning singer-songwriter scene, the available choices are as good as they are abundant.
