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

Well color this girl extremely emotional today.
1. I just have to start with this Chilean mine collapse thing. Have you heard? 33 miners are trapped well below the earth’s surface, they’ve been there for a while and they will be there for a while. There are several amazing things about this story. First, their spirit. These… Read More

Japanese music (J-Music), much like American is categorized into numerous genres — JPop, JHip-Hop, JRock, etc. I listen to a lot of J-Music, so I’ve come across quite a few artists and bands with bad names over the years. I decided to make a top ten list of some of… Read More

Seriously.
I know he got the mole removed a while back. I think that he’s married? I’m pretty sure I heard rumors of his lacking in the manly part department. Yet, I’m all of a sudden like, did he get younger? What’s going on?
1. I live for this video. Although, the baseball hat confuses me and I… Read More
For all those feeling too confident in your education, here are some of the awesome things we were mistaught in school. (I took them from this list – Jah bless Wikipedia.) Hopefully this doesn’t completely shatter your world.
10. Christopher Columbus’s efforts to obtain support for his voyages were not hampered by a European belief… Read More

It has been an absolute pleasure for two years now to regale you with tales of my cultural exploits throughout NYC and beyond. But as with all things, there comes a time when you need to reinvent in order to find renewed vigor in the process. And if my name were Madonna, this would… Read More
A fantastic list on what people love dubbing (erroneously, imho) a dying genre. Spanning five decades and plenty of well-known writers who you’ve probably read, exploring this could make for a lovely, languid weekend afternoon. David Foster Wallace leads the Top 25 with four superlative articles. If you’re in the mood for more, there are hundreds of… Read More

1. MOVIE Inception
There is no doubt that I was blown away by the visuals of this film, enough to keep me interested for two and a half hours and work very hard to understand the layers of the dream story. But when my brain turned back on with the lights as the credits rolled, I couldn’t… 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

In my latest stint of movie-going, I’ve noticed a distinct greater excitement at previews, sometimes more than the main feature. Multiple flicks, edited down into three minute bite size bits is often so far more exciting that by the time the opening credits roll, I’ve forgotten why I stepped inside the theater in the first place. So… 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
