Nike McFly 2015's →
Alright, Future, this is a good start. You’re finally looking in the right direction.
May I make one suggestion?
Rather than focusing on the footgear of Marty McFly in that film, why don’t you look at the fucking hoverboards and flying cars?!
Macho Mesh Is Back →
This link is for all the people, at the office, on the street, in the park, at the grocery store, in the restaurant, on the dancefloor in the club, who laughed at my chain-mesh mantle.
Not only is it calf-length, full-sleeved, fitted with chain gloves and has slits at the front and back to enable riding, but it’s also fashion forward.
So don’t hate me when you’re rocking a...

In the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Old Testament and the Torah, Moses, while herding the flocks of his father-in-law on Mount Horeb, came across a burning bush. The burning bush began to speak to Moses and revealed itself to be God (a/k/a Yahweh, a/k/a I am that I am). God tells Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and gives him supernatural powers to do so. Some of those powers...

Quick Judgements
Welcome to America’s favorite criticism gameshow Quick Judgements!
This is how the show works: We bring in a group of random individuals and ask them to offer up their opinions on various topics of our choosing. The only rule is that they can use no more than three words when voicing that opinion. Our own judges then judge the opinions of the panel and award the individual with the best...
Awesome! It's the Apocalypse. - Meet Dave
Dave Ming Chang (Eddie Murphy), newly arrived in New York City, may be the ultimate fish out of water. There‘s something about him that‘s not quite right – for starters, he seems remarkably out of place and uncomfortable in his own body. And for good reason: “Dave” is not a man at all, but a ship made in the image of its miniature–sized captain. It‘s Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy in...
Face the Truth: Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea
On Tuesday, I posted a video of the Silver Jews performing a track off of their new album, Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea. In the post, I stated that I had listened to the album several times and thought it to be good. How good I could not determine because I needed a few more listens.
After a few more listens, I now know the answer to this question.
Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea is not very...
WatchLookout Mountain, Lookout Sea, the new album by the Silver Jews was released today. I’ve listened to it several times, but the jury (in my mind, which is remarkably similar to Herman’s Head) is still out. It’s good, but I’m not sure how good just yet. I need a few more listens.
Above is a video of the band playing track two, which I can tell you, even with just a few...

What Are You Listening To?
Welcome to another installment of What Are You Listening To?
I asked a random person on the street, listening to music on an iPod, Discman, Walkman, radio, etc., this question and then discussed the song.
Today’s listener is Mark Dubois.
Mark is a Property Manager for several commercial spaces in Queens, NY. Originally from Shreveport, LA, Mark moved to New York to attend NYU’s...
T.G.I.F. After Dark: 20/20

ABC News Soundstage
Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters sit at the 20/20 news desk preparing for the show opening. The desk is gray and boomerang shaped. Behind the anchors is a blue backdrop with the show’s logo hanging in the middle. Before them are two cameras, two cameramen, a director, a teleprompter and several other crews members. ...
Top Chef: Season 4 Finale & Tips for Season 5...
Last night was the Season 4 finale of Bravo’s Top Chef. Stephanie, a sweet, humble, and adventurous chef from Chicago, became the first female to win the competition. She defeated the two other finalists Richard, a Mohawk-sporting, Crocs-wearing, Molecular gastronomy-practicing, abstract and whimsical chef from Atlanta, and Lisa, a pessimistic, one-note, delusional, bitch-faced chef from...

Advanced Audio - Deerhunter: Microcastle
“I’m more interested in the micro-structure. I want things to be a lot shorter, I don’t want there to be as much long-windedness to it. I want it to be more collage-like. I think maybe the next record will sound a little dirtier or more blown-out or something. Less droney, less mopey. There will probably be a little less ambience. I definitely like trying on different clothes in...
Microcastle →
If you’re a Venisonhead like me, you’re probably pretty excited about Deerhunter’s new album Microcastle. You’re perched in your blind, surveying the forest, holding a rifle packed with .30-06, awaiting the release. What the actual release date is, I’m not sure. But five tracks from the album are up on their MySpace page.
I’ve only listened to the tracks once...
Awesome! It's the Apocalypse.: MTV Movie Awards
I watched the MTV Movie Awards last night. It was the first time I’ve ever watched an entire ceremony and the first time that I watched it live rather than re-ran bits of the 168 hour marathon that follows the initial airing. The egregious, shameless self-promotion, so tired it’s comatose humor, half-baked controversy, self-aggrandizing and cacophonous performances, Rob Schneider...
