Soundtrack Series has garnered a ton of critical praise from the likes of The New York Times (a newspaper), The New Yorker (a magazine),… Continue»

Horror Business: Rock and Roll Halloween Costumes
For many, Halloween is a chance to step outside the comforts of everyday life and explore a darker side of their personality.

As an actual music fan, it can be painful to see your straight-laced peers dressed up as Axl Rose or “Punk Rocker”.

Yesterday, former Smiths frontman and bon vivant Morrissey announced his plan to release his autobiography this December. The mind reels at the possibilities. How does he really feel about Johnny Marr? Does he use mousse or a pomade to get that envy-inducing pompadour? Is there really a light that never goes out?

Journey Into The Abyss: Nickelback’s “Trying Not To Love You” Video
That new Nickelback video with Jason Alexander playing rival baristas might be the weirdest thing Ive ever seen. — scharpling (@scharpling) August 18, 2012 When I saw our co-host Tom Scharpling post this on twitter late last week, I thought he was kidding.
