TV On The Radio…on my radio

Yooooo, so back when I used to hang out at The Lodge which was (and is) a really dope restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, also known as Hipsterville, also known as the “other” Bedford Ave, also known as “Are you serious?! This small ass apartment is 2500 bucks?” town, I used to always see this awesome dude who looked remarkably, like a young, cool Cornel West, which basically means he looked like a contemporary Frederick Douglas, or as I call him, Freddy Doug. So young Freddy Doug, would always be out there at The Lodge, either talking to tons of tattooed goonies, or just relaxing grabbing a cup of coffee, but every time I saw him, I would always feel the strange urge to say something to him. I just always felt like I knew him from somewhere.

Well, I did. He’s the dude from TV On The Radio (TVOTR), the awesome experimental rock band. The one with all the hair. Yeah, him. Crazy. Anyway, they have a new album out entitled, Dear Science, and instead of me telling you all about it, just know it’s AWESOME! I mean, really, what good is it being apart of the popten, if I have to spoon feed you everything! It’s good! If you like rock music…It’s awesome. Period. (This popten thing could get dangerous…)

  1. THANK YOU. I’m listening to it now, and it’s fucking sumptuous- brilliant on so many levels! I couldn’t get into Cookie Mountain, but this is the best thing I’ve heard all year, hands down!

The Future of Information

Matt Ellsworth and I met while making Second Skin, a documentary I directed on virtual worlds. He’s one of the boys from Indiana who loves to game. Our conversations over the years have led to a few things, one of them was finding a common love for Johnnie Walker Black Label, and the second was a penchant for postulating about…

Top Ten Geek Anthems: the Geekiest Songs in the Universe

The geek have officially inherited the Earth, as was prophesied in Psalms 37:7 (more or less) so many bearded men ago.  It’s a fairly recent thing, having happened somewhere between Google’s ascent to ubiquity, the second installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the eyebrow-raising popularity of Weird Al’s White & Nerdy. And since history is told by the…

Condescending Creature Smackdown: Ewoks vs. Na’vi

How much does James Cameron ride George Lucas’ dick? Only enough to base an entire movie, Avatar, on the final battle sequence from the last good film in the Star Wars franchise, Return of the Jedi. Each film has its ragtag band of native creatures, each film pits basic bush weaponry against mechanized slaughter machines, each film has exploding trees.…

Top Ten Television Shows of the Decade

Come with me, friends, to another time. Let’s say 1998ish. Ross and Rachel rule the airwaves, ER is hailed as the Best Drama Evar. As the sun sets on Seinfeld, critics mourn its passing, proclaiming that we’re not likely to see a show of its brilliance ever again.

I watched an episode of Seinfeld yesterday. It’s still funny, despite the canned…

Top Films of the Decade

I sincerely hope I made every attempt to be fair and honest and if I left off a film you love, please know that it was not with malice and there are only ten spots.  I even split them into two genres because taking any of these off the list kind of made my heart hurt.  Also, feel free to…
