It seems like it's been ages, years even, since I last heard word from the local group The Laughing . I was always a fan of the band's tunes, but sort of just assumed that they had moved on to other things. Well, imagine my surprise today when I get a random email from the band promoting a new song entitled "Disappear". It shows tons of promise for one of Austin's finest bands that was dormant for too long. A new album from the band, Oscillation , is said to be on the way [...]

Shoutout to Youtube for making this all possible. I know I'm not the only one who's facebook blew up around 9pm last night when the dunk of the year (so far) went viral. The announcer on NBA.com said Kendrick Perkins life just changed and I wouldn't disagree. I wonder if anyone said anything to him in the locker room? Did his teammates console him, or did they try not to make eye contact? Did his ears get hot when he saw the highlight again? Did his nose itch? Did his Mom watch the game?

Now that we're in the era of Kickstarters and Bandcamps , it's easy to forget just how revolutionary Radiohead's plan for In Rainbows really was. Fuck a label. Sell the album the world's been waiting for on your own website, for whatever price your fans think is fair. It worked, and Radiohead got paid because not only because the work was so dope, but because people were invested in what they were doing. For all their incredible strengths though, Radiohead's not usually talked about as being funny. So forgive the clumsy [...]

Illustrations By George McCallum It's not everyday that you get to meet talented illustrators from across the world. But thanks to the internet and Daniel Edmund , those things become possible. Raised in London, England, and currently residing in Bristol, George McCallum took to illustrating at a young age. Encouraged by his father to take up the art form, George spent much of his youth drawing in front of the television. Now, years later, he's studying illustration at the University [...]

It's always nice to get the opportunity to see two brilliant folks reminisce about how they got to where they are now. In a lot of cases, it's like a free buffet of game to be put up on. Shane Smith and Spike Jonze are both mavens of culture in their own right, having made some distinctly original contributions to the zeitgeist through various media. Spike, after establishing himself beyond a doubt as the definitive music video director of the '90s MTV era, went on to produce Jackass , and helm three feature [...]

Details? Yep, we got 'em. Celebrity guests included Chicago Bull Jannero Pargo and wife Malaysia Pargo of VH1 Basketball Wives LA, former NBA player [...]

I asked Hyphen the other day if I should grow a beard. "Na man, you don't need to do that." He replied. "Just stick with the mustache." But I've lived 24 years as a baby face assassin. Isn't it time for a change? I see Bundy doing his thing. I see Sam doing his thing. I see Ben doing his thing. Shit even Bob's got one going. Yet I still remain a babyface. But what struck me was how vastly contrasting my facial hair was from the man pictured to the left, and those pictured [...]
