Jean-Paul moved in with Bubba and me, therefore we...
While I’ve never seen an episode of it, all my Youtubing has indicated that Yo Gabba Gabba is doing a wonderful job introducing kids to music. They’ve had MGMT, Of Montreal and a ton of other great groups on there. Now they can add The Apples in Stereo to that list, now that they had [...]

What a great way to start my day — watching this music video for Robbert Bobbert and the Bubble Machine. The super-powered video features the work of over a dozen different comics artists including Jordan Crane, Farel Dalrymple, the Powerpuff Girls’ Craig McCracken, Tim Sievert, Chris McDonnell, and more. Your ears aren’t fooling you, either; Robbert [...]
reprinted from Popmatters.com/[18 September 2002] The root of hip-hop generation displeasure with The Cosby Show was not simply that the show wasn't 'political', but rather the show did in fact serve the political function of diverting attention away from the harsh realities of Reagan-era social policies. Cosby Redux by Mark Anthony Neal “Look daddy, it’s the Cosby man!” My then three-year-old...

Eeeh my fucking Jebus have you heard Sean Kingston's new song? It is very, very, very good. It is produced by RedOne (of "a RedOne, Cooool-by, Gaga" fame) so obviously it is something special, but I mean really. It is very good.
