In 1996, Madeline Albright, then Bill Clinton's Secretary of State, was asked if she thought the death of half a million Iraqi children due to United Nation sanctions was a price worth paying in the cold war against Saddam Hussein. Her answer, amid much humming and ha'ing, was basically: "Yes". Albright later castigated herself for [...]

If we're going to connect obvious dots here... we'd say that 2012 might be the year of 12th Planet . Judging by the EP title along with his alias, it looks like 12th planet is going apocalyptic in more ways than one, and one of those ways is in this heavy ass free EP released through Scion A/V . As one of the more respected figures in American dubstep, it's fitting that he brings back the old dub-plate mentality into these productions to (hopefully) silence critics of the dubstep on the left side of the pond. Boasting collabs [...]

Last week, Sky and ESPN extended their current deal for TV coverage of Scottish Premier League matches for the next five-and-a-half seasons, and at a higher price: £16m per season, 25% above the current rate. The Scottish Premier League's chief executive, Neil Doncaster, hailed the package as "excellent news" for Scottish football clubs. I disagree. [...]

Today was a strict mix of drive-time pleasure with a bit of business. Highlights consisted of a trip from Venice to Malibu, some Caribbean cuisine and orchid browsing.

Opening up will no doubt be the G&B residents, RekLES and Alex English . Friends of the program, if you're over 21 years of age, just drop your name here and get in easy breezy for the discounted price of $5--before midnight. Under 21 or a [...]

Ah already? I'm still recovering from Starscape & EDC, but what can you do when Steez Promo puts together another stellar bill for Summer Massive .... sometimes you have no choice but to Vacay. As Swedish likes to say, sometimes you have to "Vacay in the face of obligation - in spite of it even" . Let's do a little test. I'm going say a couple names and you try and say "Nope, not going to see that." Ready? Here we go: Kill The Noise (you've probably already failed), Bird [...]

It's Friday and we all know what goes down on Friday! lots an lots of filth, I mean every Friday is just filthy take a look at my friend in the picture, she is still recovering from last week. Well I found a lot of gems that I think most of you kids are gonna shit for so we'll see how the comments go. If you haven't heard Ephixa's Gerudo Valley remix this one is a killer, pisses me off that's where I got stuck last time I was playing the Ocarania of Time . That song [...]

I can't believe its almost been a year since the Vacay crew set out to build a 402 geometric dome alongside Powerplant Production's, now known as Pixie & Buck , 618 Music & Arts Festival . It was quite an endeavor, but anyways... The boys are back at it again this year with a raunchier plan that could be summed up by the phrase, "Electronic Circus on Acid" . On top of that, a much more MEGA vacay approved lineup, featuring: Switch (Major Lazer) , Porter Robinson , T3RR0R , [...]

Mad Christian Harold Camping was reportedly "flabbergasted" that the Rapture didn't take place last Saturday, May 21, as he had confidently predicted. I am similarly flabbergasted that Kilmarnock weren't relegated, as I assuredly stated on August 12: "I can't see them anywhere other than last place." Camping is now saying the Rapture was spiritual, not [...]
So Stephen Fletcher has decided to join a long list of Scottish non-footballing anti-heroes, from Kris Boyd to... erm... Lee McCulloch? But the once-promising Wolverhampton benchwarmer has applied a novel twist to his retirement from the international scene: doing it by SMS. Not only did he avoid telling Levein to his face, he also avoided [...]
"Disgusting and cowardly." "Pile of pish." "Absolute gash." "Twats." These are just some of the comments I've seen from friends in response to the Scottish Premier League's likely new format: a ten-team league. I'd add a few more: cowardly, short-sighted, and suicidal. Following Monday's meeting of SPL clubs in Glasgow, SPL chairman Neil Doncaster stated [...]
