Tweet The Scottish music scene has developed a lot of buzz over the past few years, with one new “next big thing” band after another coming out of there.  First it was Snow Patrol, then it was Franz Ferdinand, and the Fratellis after that.  Well, they can all step aside, ‘cos none of them are [...]

Tweet In the first edition of what I fear will become a regular feature, Hilary Duff shows us what she learned in P. Diddy’s “Bad Sampling 101″ class, and butchers one of Depeche Mode’s finest. I held out to about the one-minute mark before almost throwing my monitor across the room. Good thing I didn’t, [...]

Tweet Ok, that’s not true (go ask Michael Huffington about his 1994 U.S. Senate race) maybe it should be… “Yes, Virginia you can buy people’s attention.”  Barack Obama hit the airwaves last night with a 30 minute infomercial on CBS, NBC, FOX, Univision, BET, MSNBC and TV One.  The preliminary national television ratings are showing [...]

Tweet I really like the show.  It makes me feel like premium cable is actually worth it.  I’m finally getting over the fact that HBO canceled Deadwood and Rome, two of my favorites.  So I’m watching tonight’s episode and who appears as a vampire… Steven Root.  Umm.  Are we sure about this?  Vampires are either [...]

Tweet I was initially worried about the title of the site, since it was an inside joke amongst friends.  The joke was that the founders of the site were seeking new jobs.  I wasn’t really worried about all you lovely human beings out there in the dark.  But now thanks to the people at Job-a-matic [...]

Tweet I grew up with all of those great disaster movies in the 1970s. Classics like The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, and The Posedion Adventure.
