An epic welcome to our first guest blogger, the inimitable Morgan Holzer!

For nearly a year, I’ve been lucky enough to find myself on Morgan’s monthly mix email list.  Once a month, Morgan condiments my inbox with a brand new music mix, culling all of the latest bands she’s heard (live or otherwise) into one meticulously-thought-out, brilliant package.  It becomes the monthly soundtrack to my life.  Nowadays, the mix even comes with a printable cover for that mixtape/mixCD you wish you still made.

On receiving her Best of 2008 mix, with the year’s thirty best singles, I realized what a no brainer it was- I had to get Morgan guest blogging on PopTen.  

Luckily for all of us, Morgan signed on, and now you’ll soon be reveling in the gift that is new music.  And I can vicariously enjoy a project which I always swore to myself I’d do (after hearing Cameron Crowe tell us that he’s made a monthly mix since he was a teenager at the premiere of Almost Famous).  

A hearty welcome to our new indie music ambassador.  We’re so glad you’ve arrived.

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…
