I have a number of friends who both waited in line over the course of several days and paid hundreds upon hundreds of dollars to be able to obtain either a Playstation 3 or a Nintendo Wii. I would ask them why, and I would receive such answers as: "The graphics are so realistic!" "You can use it to surf the internet!" "Dude, it has motion sensors AND rumbling controllers!" Ok, ok. I guess some of that shit is cool….SIKE! Look, [...]

As a long time Cave In fan, half of me was bummed about the news of their break up, and the other half was looking forward to what bands would come out of the space-metal-behemoth. Besides, Perfect Pitch Black was a mess, so what's the worse that could happen? I had totally forgotten about Clouds , Adam McGrath's spin off band, until I read an embarrassing review of their debut album Legendary Demo yesterday. The review was crafted by resident Pitchfork metal "expert" D. Shawn Bosler who, as well as the [...]

Last night while I was watching American Idol, I reflected on all the contestants who had failed to make a positive impression on the judges.

This, in turn, got me thinking about other people who couldn't sing, and I settled on Yoko fucking Ono. When I initially heard the news of a Yoko Ono remix album- [...]

A 40-year-old female substitute teacher is going to jail for, oddly enough, forty years because she showed her students porn . With that in mind, I think it's only appropriate that the headline news on a majority of music blogs should read: David Yow has joined Qui . Yes, David Yow, the man who became famous for fronting Scratch Acid and [...]

Over the course of the last few weeks, I've been utterly confused as to the extensive blog coverage of The Police reunion. Unless soccer moms in their mid 40s are the people updating blogs, which is entirely possible given the anonymity (outside of the first name) of some of the more popular blogs, there is absolutely no reason to condone this sort of activity. A brief glance at Sting's solo career showcases the definition of mediocrity. In fact, I would argue that much of The Police's records are just the sort of completely uneventful and unchallenging [...]
