“Playing Wii Sports today feels like reliving a shallow one-hit-wonder from the past, like listening to Kris Kross ironically in a PT Cruiser on your way home to feed your Tamagotchi and talk about Ron Paul on Reddit.” - Marco.org - The Rise & Fall of The Nintendo Wii A sentence meant to be reblogged.

In addition to my new kitty, Alina, something has been keeping me awake: Sunday's 'cross race. You may recall Eel 1 , when people showed up and it was cool, and Eel 2 , when not so many people showed up and it was still cool. Those were low-key and there wasn't much money or whatever to worry about. Sunday's race, on the other hand is a sanctioned event and there's money and there are people whom I...

The BlogWorld Expo out in Vegas, which wrapped up over the weekend, attracted some major star power.

These guys and others discussed...

The Michael Crabtree business has finally come to its long-awaited end now that he's signed a six-year deal with the 49ers. No doubt it took a steady hand to guide such delicate, long-running negotiations. A sagacious person schooled in the art of financial discipline. Someone like M.C. Hammer. [Here's where the record scratch would come in.] 49ers beat reporter Matt Maiocco of the Press Democrat...

Filed under: I Freakin' Love This Song 'I've Got a Feeling,' The Beatles From 1969's 'Let It Be' Now, I'm not trying to pick a lesser-known track just to seem cool or anything -- 'I've Got a Feeling' just happens to bring me back to the age when the Beatles became a meaningful part of my life. Being the child of parents who grew up in the '60s, I could always name all four band members as far back...

The first CD’s I can think of this year were the famous songs of “Jumping” that seemed to kick of 1992. What exactly am I referring to? You know you had this CD, and you are lying if you say you didn’t. It was “Totally Krossed Out” by Kris Kross. This [...]

My friend and blogmate Shani-o was good enough to take on the chore of posting the Friday Random/Genius Ten at PostBourgie yesterday since I was buried under a pile of assignments. But this is a time to rejoice. Soon, the streets and stores and my gym in particular will be free of annoying children and teenagers. The start of school is upon us, people! Thus, this week's theme for the list was songs...

Activision plans to release 'DJ Hero ' (the hip-hop answer to 'Guitar Hero') this October. Until then, rap loving gamers have a very limited selection of titles with which to fulfill their needs of fresh rhymes and thumping beats. As a painful reminder of rap's treacherous and horrible video game history, Street Level has assembled seven 'Stupid Rap Video Games.' The list is overwhelmingly bad, and...

DEATH OF AUTO-TUNE: First of all, this is a great parody of the song. Second, the hook is really great--the way it moves back from guitar to (saxophone? clarinet? it sounds like a woodwind about half the time, and brass the other half). Third, Jay-Z is raising one of the interesting questions of hip-hop: what's the difference between the good and the popular? Hip-hop has always, on some level, equated...

Today we consider Jermaine Dupri, the Atlanta-based label head, producer, rapper and songwriter who has found himself in the news recently.

After his lower order skittering, Graeme Swann claimed that Mushtaq Ahmed was his batting mentor. Graeme Swann’s pleasingly unafraid to tell outright lies every now and again, but we think he was serious about this. Mushtaq Ahmed shouldn’t be anybody’s batting mentor. You can’t just find the nearest person who’s older than you, call them a [...]
