Just in case you’ve been out of touch or don’t have any funny friends (I got emailed this link by three people) you need to know that WitStream exists.
Remember how your Twitter friends aren’t really that funny? They talk about being hungry and tired and wah wah my job is lame blaaaaahhhhhhhzkjhfsdkhfsdkhgshgfhk;adnbvknnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn oh sorry! I… Read More

Have I got a new band or what. Robbie Guertin (Guitar and Vocals) and Tyler Sargent (Bass) of Clap You Hands Say Yeah have formed a new art collective and band called Uninhabitable Mansions. I just caught their show last Thursday at the Bell House at an event sponsored by the Gothamist in the CMJ festival. … Read More
Last summer, while touring Geek Cons with Second Skin, I was astounded by this odd fellow Cthulhu. I’m perfectly ashamed at how little I knew of this tentacled extraterrestrial, being that I fancy myself a hardcore otaku, but the little cephalopod-faced brute was everywhere! Cthulhu was emblazoned on t-shirts, poked fun at in card games, the inspiration… Read More

I just had the pleasure of watching The Guild seasons 1 and 2 on a sweet two-disc set. I remember watching season 1 on the internet when it came out a couple of years ago. But I must say this show is definitely best when packaged together on one DVD. While each season is… Read More
I think I’ve listened to this song a million times in the last month. It’s a gorgeous song, poignant in its simplicity, raw in it’s sentiment. The video compliments the song effortlessly. Thank you ABs for not blowing it.

Randee Dawn is one of our fellow guest bloggers here on Popten, and she just came out with a new book – The Unofficial Companion to Law & Order SVU. I was lucky enough to be invited to her exclusive signing (and meet some of the people who populate one of TV’s biggest universes). I ended… Read More

Just recently Motorola released the full specifications to the brand new Droid phone, and I must say it looks like we may have something to rival an iPhone. I feel like we’ve said it before though, and only time will tell if a Google phone finally ousts Apple from its throne.
The ad goes a little like… Read More

1. MOVIE Where the Wild Things Are (2009)
This is a visual feast that, while lacking a story of any sort, captivated me for ninety minutes. As the sole human in the land of the beasts, Max Records proves to be an incredible child actor, bringing out authentic emotion and the beautiful hurt of a tyke so… Read More
At gunpoint, two extraterrestrials in Hell’s Kitchen demanded I tell them the reason for the internet.
Without hesitation, I showed them this video.
Catch the whole thing here.
[Yeah, I've talked about it before- but now there's this delectable preview, plus 400 scenes ready for your crowdsourced pleasure.]
With one week left til Halloween, here’s a little taste of the spirit to whet the appetite.
This is also an open invitation to make your own multitrack webcam hitz. I’d especially like to hear Come Sail Away or the theme to Contra.
Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More
When I was in my formative high school days, going to the Warped Tour was a highlight of the summer. Just old enough to drive, we’d pile about 9 bros and skateboards into mom-duke’s Ford Exploder and drive at high speed to Fitchburg or some other pseudo-municipality in middle Massachusetts, blasting Rage Against The Machine and… Read More
