Well, my mom is ecstatic. The Los Angeles Lakers have won their second NBA title in as many years. My mom is a HUGE Lakers fan, but you'd never know it. She doesn't have any Laker jerseys, no posters, no license plate frames, no bags, no nuthin'... yet she can rattle off Bryant's stats like Brent Musburger on acid. Before the finals started, I actually sat at the dinner table and listened to my mom explain how the Lakers are going to win. At first I laughed, but then she looked me dead [...]

The best montages are from the 1980s. Be it the cocaine and wedding ' Push It [...]
Ugh, this is only my third post this month! I was going to kick ass as be all prolific this week but I am currently ill. I have the flu, possibly of the swine variety. It's not fun. Right now I'm functioning on Sudafed alone. I got so much of that shit in me that you could cook meth from my blood. However, I am a many of my word and promised more ridiculous Moroder insanity this week, so here it is. Giorgio Moroder & Joe Esposito - Solitary Men [...]

Their music has been used on several MTV shows and they were recently selected as one of AP 's "Top Unsigned Acts." PopWreckoning's Bethany had the chance to catch up with the group's lead singer Josh Ocean to learn more about this up and coming act: Bethany, PopWreckoning: How are you? Josh Ocean, TV/TV : [...]

Broken Edge, "No Shelter" ( YSI link ) Commuter, "Young Hearts" ( YSI link ) Joe Esposito, "You're The Best" ( YSI link ) While I'm talking videos, I got to put a few tracks from the soundtrack to what I believe is arguably the greatest movie ever made , The Karate Kid . While films like Citizen Kane or Breathless or Some Like It Hot can make a claim for revolutionizing cinema, there has never two hours of pure, inspiring magic like [...]
