Yes, it’s true! It’s official. Apparently, this is the only time this century that the calendar will yield so serendipitously to the nostalgic urgency of the 90s.
And, rightly so, the community of Beverly Hills is freaking the f**k out.

Celebrations have been organized in places such as the Paley Center for Media in Los… Read More

I love this song. There, I said it. I’m obsessed. It’s Motown meets Rage, and it’s catchy as all hell.

Three weeks late. I’m embarrassed, I am. Shame on me. But DUDE, this movie’s still #1 at the Box Office!!! Chris Nolan, how do you DO that? Are you a bajazillionaire now? You’re unstoppable!
Inception has turned into one of those films that inspires adamant and sharp division (but no Fountain-fueled fist fights… yet), among critics,… Read More

Anthony Weiner took center stage on the House floor to give the GOP an impassioned verbal lashing for trying to block healthcare for those made ill from toxins resulting from 9/11 . It’s nothing short of miraculous. Go Tony, go Tony, GO!
I’m obsessed with this now:

Holy teary sobfest. Maybe I’ve gone soft, but this show is amazing.
Here’s the skinny:
MTV has partnered with a youth outreach non-profit group called Challenge Day (challengday.org), that runs a 1-day workshop at schools all over the country, to encourage kids to start playing nice. After meeting a few of the kids, we go inside… Read More

So, M. Night got a little peeved at a reporter in Mexico for calling him a sell-out and a hack… or maybe his hackness came up first, then sell-out. Whatever, potato, poh-tah-toh.
His response is kind of hilarious. He leads off with, “If I thought like you, I’d kill myself.” Um… okay. He’s also understandably defensive about the… Read More

MEL GIBSON,
Words are, perhaps, futile. The threat of jail was certainly not enough. The public condemnation you endured after your last arrest only seems to have inspired a level of vitriol, the likes of which the world rarely sees. And now you’ve officially gone to the proverbial freaking zoo. Assuming that leaked tape is authentic, there is… Read More

TechCrunch is serving as the arena for a humorously neurotic war of words between Team iPhone and Team EVO 4G. The average phone user will understand exactly none of the actual terminology that is used, but you don’t have to. These sketches adhere to the timeless credo that is the backbone of any proper feud: I’m smart and… Read More

In the year since his passing, Michael’s music has enjoyed a vibrant resurgence among fans, both new and old, and is now prominently featured on my current playlist. His presence will forever be felt in the world of music, most notably through his own body of work, but also in his deep influence on every new generation of… Read More
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
