What do you bring to a satellite party?

I learned how to not be such a dork from my older brother, who bought me a Jane’s Addiction album in 7th grade. I cut my rock n roll teeth on their metal-punk grind and Perry Farrell’s mystic howl. I wasn’t cool per se, but I was at least rescued from the likes [...]

Trapped in the Closet – Continued?

What happened to the good ol’ days? It used to be you could count on certain constants: Sanjaya’s hair, the next chapter of Trapped in the Closet. But it’s been over a year since R Kelly (keyword = rkelly) left us hanging in Chapter 12. The cliffhanger came in the form of [...]

I had to take a Logic class once. It was all proofs and diagrams. I think. It was hard to concentrate because my teacher always forgot to zip up her fly. But I wish I’d paid attention, because now there’s a new formula to understanding hip hop that looks a lot [...]

Breaking up w/ Kings of Leon

Dear Kings,
First of all, you’ve never written a song I didn’t like. Like The Strokes, you play catchy, quirky rock music that I’ll always sing along to in my car. But I just don’t think it was meant to be for us in the long run. That’s why I have to say [...]

Hope for Sasquatch

This week American Idol is donating money to charity for every vote you text. To boost pre-Sweeps ratings, er, raise awareness, the show’s recruited an all star line up for Wednesday. Among many others, Bono will perform, which makes sense since he’s the pretty much the face of charity these days. But [...]

Mary Poppins would be so proud

As Fred Savage showed us in the classic film, The Wizard, you don’t win competitions with skill, per se. You win them with the sheer power of being a kid. Not that Morgan Pozgar isn’t skilled. It was the 13-year-old’s fast fingers and her passion for texting that earned her 1rst prize [...]

Atreywho?

It’s been a while since we heard anything from Atreyu (keyword = atreyu). Rumors swirled about them being holed up in Orange County, watching a continuous loop of The Neverending Story, and crying every time Artax drowns in the quicksand. Those rumors, of course, were started by me. Just now.
But [...]

Sanjaya: 10 minutes and counting…

Well, I guess there CAN be more than 1 Justin Timberlake. Really? Not even in the bottom 3? Oh well. It’s only a matter of time before he and everyone else fall pray to the beast of American Idol talent that is Melinda. Or Blake. Or, well, Phil. [...]

Country Night Roundup

Country Night wasn’t kind to our friends. However, Phil did his best Bono by shmoozing up the crowd through the entire performance. All he needed was sunglasses and a leather jacket and, you know, to not be singing country. He was only outdone by Jordan. Who is she and where did [...]

Tonight’s country night with Martina McBride, and the question on everyone’s mind is, how will Sanjaya look with Willy Nelson braids? Will Phil pull of a convincing Garth Brooks, or an even more convincing — and mysterious — Chris Gains? If there was ever a theme night that Sundance regrets missing, it’s this [...]
