A Quick Update

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

Hey Everyone, I know I’ve been slacking pretty hard on my music posts. But hopefully you’ve enjoyed the new movie reviews and Oscar/Golden Globe coverage. The Great White Gypsy and I have been scrambling to see every Oscar nominated film (yes, including shorts and documentaries), so we are well informed when we give you our […]

Frost/Nixon: Ron Howard

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Diabolic - The Foul Play Mixtape

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

I talk a lot about the death of hip hop. The slow, agonizing degradation of a culture, that has reduced a once great movement to a joke. Diabolic’s self-parodied/satirical diss track, Dissing the Industry, breaks this down better than anything I’ve ever written. He takes shots at everyone from Jay-Z and Eminem to Erykah Badu […]
