The 19 Most Drake Moments From the “Hold On We’re Going Home” Video
Drake is a rapper but he is also an actor. He is also an adjective. He released the video for “Hold On, We’re Going Home” and I picked out the most “Drake” moments. Watch the full video below. 1) I’m having a great time with my friends, but this is… [Read More]
How To Sub-Tweet across Social Media
Sub-tweeting is arguably the most important communicative currency we have in 2013. We could spend hours debating about what constitute a sub-tweet, but for the sake of brevity here is the urban dictionary definition: The shortening of “subliminal tweet” which is directly referring to a particular person without mentioning their… [Read More]
My Football Problem
FOOOOOOOOOOTBBAALALLALLLALAL is back. Football is back. It’s back, baby. Thursday night the Denver Broncos trampled the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 49-27 marking the beginning of a 6-month Bud Light-powered journey to the Super Bowl. Over the past few weeks I’ve gone through an inner struggle. On one end,… [Read More]
Miley, Tumblr, and What We Want from Our Disney Stars
What is a better indicator of Tumblr’s future success: Getting bought for 1.1 Billion by Yahoo! or Miley Cyrus bringing twerking to America’s living rooms? I think this is at least up for debate. I suspect in towns across America parents are Gchatting their children as I write this, asking… [Read More]
Drake’s Balancing Act
Over the last two years I’ve developed quite a relationship with Drake’s 2011 sophomore album, Take Care. At its best, Take Care is a thoughtful, inward-looking account of fame and youthful indulgence. At its worst, its the prototype for the next decade of Hip-Hop, combining classic R&B tropes, with radio-ready… [Read More]
Jay Drops the Mic, Hyphen

Finding Yeezus
If you’re anything like me, it’s downright comical to listen to anything but Yeezus this week. Though just ten songs long, totaling about 40 minutes, the album has a high replay value, because, well, it’s incredible. But I’m not here to talk about that. There are numerous Yeezus think-pieces out there written… [Read More]
That’s It, You Don’t Have to Listen to New Music until the Fall
Because A-Trak and Armand Van Helden aka Duck Sauce just dropped another disco-infused cross-over banger to round out a crazy two weeks of music news. I, for one, cannot read another Yeezus think piece so go quit your job and listen to this dance-track from now until September.

Frances Ha, Queen of New York
These days I’m so eager to share information. It’s the information age, they say, so I guess that’s quite all right. While I watched Frances Ha, I couldn’t help but make a mental list of all the people in my life that I needed to share this film with. My… [Read More]
Capital Cities and the 2013 Summer Jam
We’re all really going to hate “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities come August. The single from this LA-based duo is actually two years old, but you know how these things happen — the song is quickly gaining momentum and has become a staple on alt-rock radio stations across the… [Read More]
