Jamie Foxx, who has been pretending to be a musician since his award-winning role in 'Ray' where he famously tricked audiences into seeing a movie that they thought was about Stevie Wonder, is now suing the popular kids' music label, 'Kidz Bop' as they release their 43rd edition of the cover series. Over the last 8 years, the label has sold over 11 million CD's, but Foxx is refusing to let his latest musical masterpiece be denigrated by a bunch of, "shit eating brats." "If the kids wanna sing my music, then let'em sing my music, [...]
The most ubiquitous violent offender since Jack the Ripper, known the world over only by the alias "Waldo", has finally been brought to justice. The prime suspect for dozens of robberies, stabbings, illegal drug transactions, and (most notoriously) assaults on family restaurants and their employees, "Waldo" was apprehended late last night at a Charlie Brown's Steakhouse in Wayne, NJ, for sexually harassing the maitre de, causing a lewd public disturbance and attempting to bludgeon a bus boy to death "because he looked at [him] funny." It was confirmed that "Waldo" was a perfect match with prior DNA [...]
After the success of certain submission-based websites, PopSense has attempted to bridge the gap between the self-centered depression of FMyLife.com and the mundanity of MyLifeIsAverage.com by catering to late teens and 20-somethings. But to be straight with you, our readers, this shit happened to us, and we seek validation as humans by complaining to complete strangers via a cultural medium that allows us to receive support for our quirks and flaws while maintaining some measured degree of anonymity. And who doesn't enjoy that? Today I ordered a double cheeseburger with no onions from the McDonalds drive-thru. [...]
We're all guilty of overdressing to events just to be seen. Concerts are no exception. Everyone has that friend that takes forever, and likewise, that friend who goes to every concert in the same ratty Soundgarden shirt from 1994. In our years of performing and attending shows, we've seen our fair share of concert fashion, and the major thing we've noticed is the differences between the ways men and women get ready for the show. Of course there are always those people who just don't give a shit, but they're no fun. This isn't meant to be sexist or anything, [...]
What started as a t-shirt at the Pitchfork Music Festival has now become an insta-meme in the making. From the suburbs of New Jersey, Matt is searching tirelessly in the name of hipster singles everywhere for the ideal hipster wife at HipsterWifeHunting.com . We had the privilege of an AIM conversation with the hunter himself and we even brought along some fresh potential to help him out in return. PopSense : Hey! This is Jeff from PopSense.com, I'm here with my co-editor Stelios and a surprise guest to be announced later, ready for some questions? [...]

It's been fun. Thank you so much. With love, Editors and Staff ------------------------------ ---------- Feel free to leave thoughts after the jump:
I want Julia Roberts to take me to Neverland. I don't think I'm alone. Try walking past a playground without sensing the pangs of nostalgia in your side (is that nostalgia or just a Harry-Potter-esque swelling of my scars from getting my ass kicked by the kids who didn't think it was cool that I had choreographed a dance to R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" in 3rd grade?). Despite these warm (?) feelings, no matter how hard we attempt to recreate the magic of childhood, some things never seem to fully translate. Especially the [...]
Radiohead will not/ may never release another album . Here's what the people had to say: John and Susan Anderson: "Our wedding song was 'Creep.' Everyone thought we were crazy! Some people just don't understand. Kids these days just want that acoustic version of 'Poker Face' to play instead." Walter Flanigan: "I lost my virginity to 'High and Dry." It felt like having sex with Thom Yorke. I'm gunna miss 'em" Vawn Daniels: "MOST overrated band. Ever. You should check out 'Atlas Sound,' I'll send [...]
They said that MySpace was no longer cool I listened to the Facebook noise I made a profile, felt like a fool Realizing it was harder to hit on little boys. But now they call for FB's demise The death of quizzes, apps, and tagging I updated my status to express surprise And once again I find myself lagging. Twitter they say, that's what you need, Words and full sentences you may butcher 140 characters are enough indeed and it lets you follow Ashton Kutcher! No fans, no groups, and only one pic, How [...]
This is probably a gimmick. You may find yourself discovering ostensibly valuable social commentary here, but in the end, we're more than likely just doing this to get hits. Here are some mp3's: Volcano Choir - Island, IS.mp3 Radiohead - These Are My Twisted Words.mp3 Xx - Crystalised.mp3 Taken By Trees - Watching the Waves.mp3 The Almighty Defenders - Cone of Light.mp3 All free mp3's here. Thank jeebus Plato didn't have [...]
You know that sinking feeling that something is just 'off' about the supergroup 'The Dead Weather'? How that burning desire to appreciate a band that combines members from all your other favorite groups (The White Stripes, Queens of the Stone Age, The Kills, The Raconteurs) is somehow extinguished by an unidentifiable disgust for everything they do? Ever since the marketing backlash to The Dead Weather's intrusive advertising campaign (see first photo) music bloggers who previously felt compelled to cover the band are now in a tizzy. It's not so much their music, but rather [...]
In a world full of ever-changing, unrelated generalities that begin articles and essays, one thing remains constant: White people, especially American white people, find the Japanese at large to be remarkably entertaining. Decades after Pearl Harbor, the devastation caused by the dropping of the atomic bomb, and countless centuries of assuming that all Asian people look the same, Americans continue to experience unabated elation upon watching Japanese people get excited or hurt. In the last few days alone, we've been captivated yet again by two excellently Japanese videos: ' Japanese fans interview Harry Potter and Ron [...]
1. Swine Flu Why : You thought you were so hip, Swine Flu, didn't you? Targeting the teen/early 20's demographic, ruining the pork market, well your little charades are over. If you had the Swine Flu before last week sometime, then it's still cool to recount it and talk about how you 'almost died,' but contracting it now is just a desperate plea for attention. Acceptable Alternative : With retro fashion always on the rise, we give you the ripped jeans of diseases-- West Nile Virus. Long overdue for a [...]
With the undeniable success of FMyLife and Texts From Last Night , and the newcomer DumbStatus joining the ranks in a series of websites playing to the carnal pleasure of other's stupidity/poor luck/drunkenness, two inevitable questions arise- when, if ever, will it end? Or more likely, where is it headed next? From a conceptual standpoint, such entertainment is nothing new-- humans have been laughing at one another's misfortune for centuries "before the internet was created" (quotations express disbelief that such a time ever actually exited). From traveling freak shows to Jerry Springer, there [...]
Brillo 5 , a work of art by Gavin Turk, will be auctioned off at Christie's postwar and contemporary art sale on September 23. It is estimated that Brillo 5 will reel in $30,000. Brillo 5 is the cardboard box to your right. Christie's describes the piece of art as "an ironic and ambiguous work that is essentially a copy of a cardboard box." Be it art or be it a cardboard box, Turk's creation will no doubt pay the bills. With that in mind, we realized that boxes are exactly what we need to turn [...]
1) Talking about how 'relevant' or 'irrelevant' something is. The very question of relevance is inherently subjective, undeniably trite, and ultimately unanswerable from any meaningful perspective*. Unlike the cheese, the question "Is this relevant?" cannot stand alone. To ask "is this relevant?" is really to ask "to what is this relevant?" It requires something to refer to, which too often ends up being the person asking in the first place. Thus, "this is irrelevant!" degenerates into "this is irrelevant to me!", which mistakenly degenerates into "this is irrelevant to everyone!", which, [...]
POPSENSE (PS) : We at PopSense don't like to hold anything back, so let's just get to the juicy stuff right away-- in our ironic correspondence via Blackberry Messaging you said you wanted to set up this interview to clear your name, so why don't you tell the people what's up? VAWN DANIELS (VD) : Yeah, thanks for making this happen because we have been, to say the very least, really f*cking pissed off about some recent incidents. As you and our fans know well by now, Cork Board never has and never will release any [...]
There is a moment in every young person's life when they realize that they can't have it all. This loss of ultimate self-importance is pivotal to an understanding of their own place in society and the need to treat others with respect and equality. Once in a while, however, that paradigm is shattered. Purchasing Minute Maid Fruit Punch, preferably in 20 oz. bottle form, and then proceeding to put the contents into your mouth, is one of those times. Most of you are probably looking at your computer screen right now and wishing it could talk [...]
Carles is the unidentified blogger of the "blog worth blogging about," Hipsterrunoff.com . He is known for his commentary/analysis of the alternative world, everything from theorizing about Animal Collective/mob mentality to coining the next music trend — GorillaVsBearCore? Chillwave? PitchforkWaveGaze? Yesterday, he started a clothing brand, I Am Carles. There's even a coinciding merchandise website, IamCarles.com . Items for sale include the I Am Carles men's/women's shirt and the option to have your shirt personally delivered by Carles himself. An up and coming designer is taking the internets by storm, and so I decided to investigate via an [...]
