Why You Should Be Ecstatic About Mad Men’s Return

mad-men-season-five-poster_387x573

It’s the best show on Television. No, don’t worry, I’m not going to count that in the list (but I’m also not going to count that as hyperbole), though I do feel like I had to get it off my chest nice and early. Seriously though, don’t worry, I’m keeping this list gravely serious. Mad [...]

lanadelrey

By the time you are reading this, Lana Del Rey’s album Born To Die will have reached #2 on the Billboard charts, and #1 in a gazillion countries. In a true sign that she’s made it, she will have been mocked on Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update,” impersonated no less by Kristen Wiig, just a [...]

The federal shut down of Megaupload is yet another blow to file-sharing.

The Brit Awards: A Confused and Strange Affair

The 32nd Annual Brit Award Ceremony is soon to be upon us, and the general reaction of most seems somewhat muted.

Our very talented writer James Brightman recently wrote up his top 20 albums of the year, and fellow writer and long time friend of mine Michael Starr is about to write his. All due respect to those two, but neither of them know what they’re talking about and this is definitely the right list and [...]

A Hard Rock Christmas Song Revisited By…Walt Disney?

Newnightmarerevisited

The holidays always bring back fond memories, and one of those is Rise Against’s “Making Christmas”. According to purevolume.com, you can never have too many variations of a holiday song, and I agree. The rock band covered “Making Christmas” from A Nightmare Before Christmas, for New Nightmare Revisited by Walt Disney Records back in 2008, [...]

Where are the Wives?

VH1-Basketball-Wives-Season-4

There’s a common theme in this never-ending string of reality shows centered on wives…most of these chicks aren’t married. I’ve sat through The Real Housewives franchise, and Basketball Wives franchise and Love & Hip-Hop and where are the wives? Yes, a few are married but most aren’t. And some never have been. The shows are [...]
