Dedicated to That Southern black Gal... just because she will like this... One of my all time favorite rap songs... Salt N Pepa's "I desire", circa 1987. I loved this rap so much... So much so that my boyfriend at the time, Eli, who I just simply loved so much, recognized that it was MY song. He would pick me up from the train station every day after school in his maroon Ford Escort, and...
Disney’s A Christmas Carol was the #1 movie at the box office this weekend. Is Britney Spears planning to get hitched? Comedian Katt Williams got busted for breaking and entering. Oscar buzz for Up. South Park thinks it’s funny to call people “fags”. Holy Moly! The Kansas City Chiefs AXE a football player from their team due to conduct deemed detrimental [...]

It's soundtrack week! This both delights and terrifies me. I know I will be grossly disappointed if nobody does the lounge medley from Sister Act. Of course the acts have been all over the papers this week, but none of that matters because it's time. To face. The music. Oh shut up dermot and get on with it luv... (edit: all is written as I've watched the show - additional thoughts from between the...
Fanfarlo recently announced on their website of an upcoming US tour starting on November 9th in Chicago, and for all of you locals — a November 14th date here in Salt Lake City. This is excellent news, as I have been wanting to see these guys for quite a while now. I missed my opportunity [...] Related posts: New Fanfarlo :: “I’m a Pilot” The Pains of Being Pure at Heart announce...
(Part I and Part II.) I do not mean to suggest that I ran the last six miles of the marathon. I didn’t. Prior to the race, I had debated whether to put my name on my shirt. On the one hand, providing spectators with a name would help us connect. Any support I could collect during [...]
This is, unofficially, Nirvana Nostalgia Week for music retailers. The most interesting, complicated, and potentially problematic release is Universal's official issue of a much-bootlegged concert: Nirvana's headlining show at England's Reading Festival in 1992.

Take my word for it, there’s really no better place to see the new Chris Rock documentary Good Hair than in a midtown Manhattan cinema at 7.45pm on a Friday night. Why? Because the atmosphere in the theatre was just about as entertaining as what was taking place on the giant screen in front of [...]
I anticipate, and will appreciate, your utmost confidence, for this is something I’ve never shared with anyone: I own three—three!—Otep albums. For those of you unfamiliar with Otep, I’ll delight in your ignorance, but for those of you wagging your fingers at your monitors and laughing like hyenas, I blush in your general direction. For the [...]
You thought it was over? Not quite. I stopped buying movie soundtracks a while ago, mainly because they started really sucking, but damn, you had some good ones back in the day. It's just another example of how things have changed, it gives a cantankerous old man something more to bitch about. As usual, I have to get my two cents in and the final word. My distinguished colleague BC did an
In a recent episode of the new TV series "Glee," the high school glee club at the heart of the show put on, as Heather Havrilesky described it , "a hilariously lewd and dorky rendition of Salt 'n' Pepa's 'Push It'" during an assembly. (The show's writers have yet to produce a better line than ever-indignant cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester''s response: "That was the most offensive...
