Share Ugh..is there anything left to be said about the collective jizzfest the interwebz had over the new Arcade Fire “video”?? It’s not a video. Its a video game with their new single playing in the background. A mainly passive video game. But a video game nonetheless. On the website they recommend you shut down [...]

Share Watch this: This is a hit. The melody, production, topic, and hook are irrisitable. Some naysayers have questioned whether this will be played on the radio. But this ain’t Horseville, and who cares, this doesn’t need to touch TERRESTRIAL radio and it will still sell a million copies. Satellite radio and the internet are [...]

Share Magnets how do they work? Event security how does it work? Expanding your fanbase how does it work? All questions that were floating around the heads of many people at the annual Insane Clown Posse mecca, the Gathering of the Juggalos. Unfortunately all of those questions remained unanswered.

Share I am a long time Weezer fan. From Blue Album to . . ahem. . Hurley (Weezer’s peculiarly titled new album) I will always support one of the first important bands in my life. So it is with a lot of love and good deal of humor I have watched Weezer make a career for themselves, and [...]

Share My car was broken into the other weekend. I parked it in a nice safe residential neighbourhood and forgot to lock it. Naturally, growing up in the 90′s I have gathered an extensive CD collection in my car. Every Zeppelin, Smashing Pumpkins, and 2Pac album was in there, and yet they were all left untouched. At first [...]
