So, this is the end. I leave you with a high top fade, an old Coogi sweater, and some impeccable harmonies. And, if you'll follow me after the jump one more time, I'll leave with you my goodbyes. You hit play before you started reading this, right? DO IT. Ok, now pretend Coach Taylor is reading you these words. Folks, it has [...]
There have been a few kinda definitive YMR bands, and this is one of them. We'll get into a couple more of them tomorrow as we say goodbye. Break out the hankies then, but for now...

Simon wanted to crown him, so America was going to crown Adam's [backside] tonight. And then the voting results came in. And then the commentary began... In a show that had the return of BEWBS, a plethora of jaunty hats (in multiple colors, no less), and Alexis Grace's return in thigh high Boots with a "Y'ALL MY PUSSY'S HANGING OUT" skirt (and bless her for that), the end game was all about the results. And yes - Kris Allen FTW. Surveying the response, it is... colorful. [...]
In the words of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Once More, With Feeling" – this is your American Idol Finalists Roundtable Recap. Adam and Kris – Who Ya Got? JB* One last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer. So long as we're closing this place down, let's get some last shots in at the judges and the bizarre season which has passed. THIS ... is your American Idol recap. Seacrest tried hard [...]
Hello all, welcome to the 2-hour season finale recap of 24. I know you missed me the last couple of weeks but I'm sure you got along fine. Without further ado, your final 24 recap here on DeadOn: The Following Takes Place Between 6:00 A.M. and 8:00 A.M. Olivia gets questioned by the Deputy Attorney General (not good enough for the actual AG?) about the death [...]
Its been fun doing YMR for you guys on Wednesdays. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys last week and they were fantastic. Enjoy!
This has long been one of my favorite posts to write every week. I'm a former record store employee so I have a strange nostalgia for the excitement that Tuesday used to bring. I suppose it's not so exciting anymore in this day of online leaks and advance streaming, but I still tend to hold out and listen to the ones I really want to hear for the first time via the disc and not the computer. Once I found myself skipping this post with out much of an urge to get online and fix that mistake immediately, I realized [...]
We start out this week at Speidi's place. Heidi's dad, not her stepdad, her real dad Tim is coming in town. He's a 'real deal cowboy' and he's never met any of her boyfriends before. He was mad when they got fake married before. Heidi jokes that he'll probably be bringing his gun. Spencer is worried, rightfully so The White Tie Affair is shooting a video and Audrina and her coworker are there to help out. Audrina reminds us that the guitarist hit it off with Stephanie and Audrina thinks Chris the singer was [...]
So, this has been coming for a long time, let's just get to it. This is gonna be the last week for good ol' DeadOn. Now now, hold back your tears, please. The time has come, and frankly, we know it might even be a little overdue. We're gonna take a little time to reflect over the next few days - one last Hills recap, one final trip around the Roundtable - and we'll have the expected overly sentimental post come Friday. I love you all a little too much, but we're all going down this [...]
Hey, it's Friday and it's payday. You have to like those odds.
You've noticed a lack of YMR and NMT around here lately, haven't you? I'm not gonna lie to you. Work is really busy and blog time gets shorter by the week. We'll talk about it more in the coming weeks though. For now, here's a bit of the new Better Than Ezra album Paper Empire. Enjoy "Absolutely Still".
We draw ever closer to the end of the season. The final 3 is usually fun because they get two songs, including choosing any song they like (provided it gets cleared for use) Join us after the jump to find out how the three amigos did JB* Hometown Heroes are different from Higgleytown Heroes, just to be clear. This is the week of the most fluff of all, Danny Gokey - "Dance Little Sister" by Terrence Trent D'Arby In his home [...]
Lauren, Audrina and Lo are out and Lo is excited for her new job at Smashbox. Audrina worked there three years ago, and she's excited for Lo. JustinBobby heard about Hawaii and he's pissed, but Audrina isn't answering his calls. LC is proud of her. I'm sure it'll last... LC and Stephanie are out to eat and Steph is wearing heels to impress Kelly, but Lauren says she can do flats. Steph is so0000oooo stressed about work, her fake job, that she needs to go on a manhunt. Lauren laughs at her and sez [...]
Happy Monday - here's hoping we'll have a lovely week. I'm sick of the rain that's plagued May in the DC area.
We're about a quarter some stretch of the way through 2009. And because I am a blogger and enjoy both creating arbitrary segments of time for my own writing purposes and the compilation of shamelessly subjective lists, I have (yet another) one of the latter for one of the former. Check the Quarter Pole archives for past editions, and click the jump to read this one. I'm burying the lede this time: My favorite songs are at the bottom of the page. [...]
Happy Friday, folks. I apologize for the lack of posts around here lately. Real life, ya know?
So maybe my bias is showing here. You know what? I don't think I care. That was a good ending. I never really expected it to be that emotional or that funny since, well, pretty much no series finale is like that. What I thought we'd get was just a good Scrubs episode (only an hour long) and that's what we got. So let's get to this last Scrubs recap, shall we? I was thinking for a couple of weeks now that I would do this recap a little differently. [...]
The final four were given the theme of Rock (\m/) this week. Did they rock out, or fall flat? Join us after the jump to find out. JB* There is a whole lot of leather on our Top Four with rock week. On top of that, apparently we are getting duets this week for the first time this week. As another first, Slash is the mentor - and the mentoring is in a club. How did Alison get in? Also - is [...]
I'm going to see these guys tonight. Enjoy!
I honestly don't know what to think about the second to last episode of Scrubs. It wasn't that funny nor was it that emotional. It was just a, as I call it, classic setup episode. But with that said I never find any of the episodes Zach Braff direct funny so who knows what the reason was? All I know is that it was a epi that was just...there and a bit all over the place. So let's just dive into the review and figure things out as we go. [...]
