Blog: DeadOn…

Here's the lead single from the new Bon Iver EP. Enjoy!

With promises of car crashes and broken relationships dancing in our heads, those of us hunkered down in long underwear and extra furry hats descend upon our televisions to revel in 90210 and tawdry goodness. Join me, after the jump, to get DeadOn's 411 on 90210 for Episode 14, "By Accident" This week, Hip Teacher Obviously Inspired By Dead Poets Society Ryan Matthews is back from his suspension for kissing an undercover cop posing as a student, and he has a chip on his shoulder, blowing off Kelly [...]

The Following Takes Place Between 12:00 P.M. and 1:00 P.M. Agent Moss briefs a FBI SWAT team on the situation at Prime Minister Matobo's residence; he says Matobo should be locked in a safe room and he commands the men to use non-lethal force on Tony and his team. Emerson beats up Matobo's head of security trying to get him to open the safe room, but the head of security keeps reminding him that it can only [...]

Our President is black. Let Jeezy and Nas tell you. And stick with the second video; Jay adapts this text to ignite this song.

Ladies and gentlemen, change has come to the record shops. That's right, it's Tuesday and you've got more than just hope awaiting you. Perhaps you recall Mr. Bird's Armchair Apocrypha placing in the Top Three of our 2007 Your Morning Rock In Review. And now, let us jump to the weekly rundown! Andrew Bird - Noble Beast Do you like quirky little pop songs with ukulele, violin and other assorted instrumentation? GOOD NEWS! [...]

Our show, which has sent many a psychoanalyist into a Freudian-tizzy about Oedipus complexes, is coming to a wrap with the Final Decisions. Will the Boys act like Men or will they give in to their mother's wishes? And what stunt will Mrs. B pull out this time? Find out... after the jump. The Dates After a two minute recap of the previous five shows, JoJo gets the embarrassing treatment of the week. Since Mrs.B refused to pick either girl last [...]

Jay and Whitney are out and they talk about Adam and Aliie. Allie is Adam's giflriend and she lives with Jay and Adam. Allie is from Cali too, but Sacramento. Allie and Adam come meet Jay and Whitney at the bar. Allie asks how she likes NY. She says she misses home sometimes, but she likes it especially Jay. Allie is a model, she got a gig with Diesel, she's not naked, she'll be wearing 'things' She travels a lot and says Whitney and Jay will need to keep an eye on Adam while she's gone. FORESHADOWING. [...]

I don't usually post about music here, but I'm extremely excited about Neko Case's new album, Middle Cyclone which comes out on March 3. The first single, "People Got a Lotta Nerve" is most excellent, all jangly guitars and vocal harmonies. It's streaming on her MySpace page (where you can observe a larger version of the rocktastic album cover*), and you can download it for free over at the ANTI- blog (left-hand sidebar). Neko and ANTI- are also going in together on a charity promotion whereby they'll combine to donate $5 [...]

The Following Takes Place Between 11:00 A.M and 12:00 P.M. Janeane Garofolo refers to Bill's van as a "dark colored panel van." I respectfully disagree - bright blue rape van is more my style. Edgar 2.0 can't get the traffic cameras to load because Chloe is way smarter than him. Moss thinks Jack and Tony have been planning the escape for a long time, but that makes no sense at all. Why would Jack lead them directly to Tony in the first place and then have [...]

The Following Takes Place Between 10:00 A.M. and 11:00 A.M. POTUS Taylor gets word that they've captured Tony but lost the CIP module and then receives the demands from Colonel Dubaku. He threatens to use the CIP module to take down American infrastructure systems unless Taylor withdraws all attack groups by this time tomorrow. He wants confirmation that Taylor has started to retreat the aircraft carriers within 3 hours. All in all, it's a well constructed threat in that it puts all of the blame and decision making on to Taylor with a preventable way of [...]

The Following Takes Place Between 9:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. Air Traffic Control is monitoring GSA117 trying to determine why the lost control when they discover Tony is controlling the flight. We get several shots of a little boy with his mom; we are not moved. Janeane Garofolo reports that NSA is trying to find the point of entry and Edgar 2.0 says they've never seen anything like this before. Jack and Renee report back to Moss that Schecter was killed by a sniper and they've sealed off the building where the shot came [...]

This episode opens with Chet, JD and Sarah all sitting around talking in the bedroom. Chet finds some lube and jokes around with JD about him "trying to get some", but his jokes turn to dropped jaws when he finds a Magnum condom. Because he's a 12 year-old, Chet immediately runs out to tell Ryan that their roommate has an enormous package. Join me after the jump to find out what other revelations were made this episode. We see Sarah doing Katelynn's hair, and the latter finally confides in her [...]

It is I, DougOLis-long time commenter/first time contributor, who will guide you through another season of the most intense show on television, 24. These recaps should come in a more timely matter in the future, but for now this is what you get. A recap of where things stand following 24: Redemption - War broke out in the Southern Africa nation of Sangala when General Benjamin Juma overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Motobo. Jack happened to be hiding in Sangala with an old friend, Carl Benton, at a school founded by Benton at the time. When Juma's Colonels [...]

Welcome back my friends to the show that thankfully has yet to end and keeps raking in gobs and gobs of entirely deserved awards. Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press, for getting it right. Alec Baldwin - Best Actor in a Television Series (Comedy or Musical). Tina Fey - Best Actress in a Television Series (Comedy or Musical). 30 Rock - Best Television Series (Comedy or Musical). Aww yeah. Jenna is telling Liz about the new Janis Joplin biopic that Sheinhardt-Universal is producing, but Liz can't hear her over her baby mania. [...]

"Cannon" was one of my favorite beats from whenever it was out. Wale's very good on this, but Wayne blacks out . If "One egg short of the omelet/Simon says, shoot a n-a in his thigh and leg/And tell him catch up like mayonnaise" is sick, that O'Bannons line is bubonic plague.

Assuming last night was the final episode of the fantastic Friday Night Lights , I think it's only appropriate that we break out the Explosions today. And, please, watch the NBC run of Season 3. Also, hopefully the music will still work what with the new crackdown on "unauthorized" YouTube videos. If this gets heavily enforced, we're gonna have some problems here at YMR...

Well, it's not like this hasn't happened before. And I'm sure we both knew I wasn't going to catch at least one night. Well, I knew. I highly doubt you care a bit about me. Anyways, I didn't get to see the show last night. There are reasons, there are always reasons. But I had planned to watch it this morning and write about it. Except ABC's player is acting like a little bitch right now. And I really don't want to download the show. And it's not streamed by Hulu. And I hate doing reviews/posts after 12 PM. It's [...]

This is from T.I.'s last album, T.I. Vs. T.I.P. That doesn't mean it's not sneering rap with a great Danja beat.

Okkervil River was on Letterman last week. Enjoy!

Last week, the return of 90210 had teen pregnancy, theft, illegitimate children who were not actually legitimate children, and the promise of someone passing out in chemistry class, making West Beverly High very similar to rural Iowa. This week, secrets will be revealed and boyfriends get mad when their girlfriends are knocked up by someone else… also similar to rural Iowa. And everywhere else in the world. Join me, after the jump, to get DeadOn's 411 on 90210 for Episode 13, "Love Me or Leave Me" With Beverly Hills in the middle [...]
