I think the guy you are referencing is the same dude that was sent to participate in some obscure African tribal wrestling ritual in the first season. It was kinda like inserting Steve Albini into a tribe of bushmen. It was just fluff. It's too bad, because Vice does some good stuff on HBO. The expose on the illegal…

This was the perfect take down of the Vice news style that the world has been waiting for. They pretty much nailed every hokey detail perfectly. "On assignment making omelettes with a racist sorority" was priceless. And, as the reviewer did mention Kroll Show, I can't help but feel like some of the Vice segments are…

Interesting factoid, but really not that surprising. If you put a bunch of comedy writers in a room I'm sure that you will stumble upon some concepts that might offend particular races or groups. Stewart could've taken it easier on the guy for sure, but if it was really extremely offensive to him I suspect he would…

Wow….just wow. Shoulda figured this tale would lead back to some creepy, fundamentalist Christian roots. The separation from reality at an early age makes Dolezal's actions seem more logical. She seems to view her actions as impervious to criticism, which would link her thought process to that of Mormons. Basically,…

Now I know why ladies always hate to do the walk of shame.

Hopefully none of the authors of these articles ever stumble across the gangsta rap genre. Straight outta Ohio, a middle-aged white dude is about to accidentally blow the lid off of two decades worth of women being treated like shit in the music industry.

It was much bigger by around '99. If you watch early X Games footage, you can really see how much more rag tag everything was when they started. Skateboarding was probably at its deadest (at least for us non-California types) around 1992. It was just a bad scene. Wheels were too tiny, pants were too big, and tricks…

1995 was a damn good year to be 20 years old. I think 94 and 95 are easily my two favorite years of existence. Nice trip down memory lane here…and glad you mentioned Wowee Zowee. A damn fine album even though early 90s alternaculture was pretty much on its last legs. Speaking of which, I dunno if people remember or…

He seems like the kind of guy who would play a place called Le Guess Who.

I like the idea of artists running a streaming site. Perhaps a better move would be for labels to just stream directly themselves. Eliminate the third party in that sense. If you think of it like cable TV, everyone is waiting for the channels to go a la carte. Right now, with Spotify etc, you pay for a ton of music…

Hahaha…good point. I know a sketch is really tanking when I begin to sympathize with the drama club kids.

The water park sketch was a new low for a pretty awful season. Just completely lazy and lifeless. High school drama clubs are a good target, but it's kinda funny when you see (especially in a weak sketch like this) how their inherent cheesiness isn't too far removed from the inherent cheesiness of the interchangeable…

This story started with a PSR of 2.1, but it immediately dropped to .05 after I read it. Not the best work on the AV Club…

I am certain Dual Survival is pretty scripted, but it is entertaining. They are often pretty Macgyveresque with their survival items as well.

"Erase" is the best prime era Devo song that prime era Devo never wrote.

Similar to Major Arcana it's a good album with a killer single. I wish, like on their last album, they could deliver multiple ass kickers on par with "Tiger Tank" and "Raising the Skate." I think the last one was a bit more hit with the rest of the tracks, while this one has a couple duds for sure. When they are on…

I'll bring my plants, I mean pants.

Thanks for the recommendation…I'm always hunting for bands with this sound…

Fallon is like Dave Grohl, and his show is like the Foo Fighters. An unbelievably nice guy who likes everything and everybody to, basically, an uncomfortable extent, fronting a show that pumps out pretty bland content that hits middle America in the sweet spot. Like it or not, he is the young Leno with hipper viral…

To clarify the 21,000…CD sold for $15.00 divided by .0007 comes out to 21,428.57 plays. As I implied, all $15 would not flow back to the artist, but at least one dollar probably would…the equivalent of 1,428.57 plays. Bands definitely had shit deals in the 90s, it's just amazing that it has become worse. The real…
