[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjUbKLZXbkc&w=640&h=480] I’ve been meaning to make this argument for some time now, and just as I was beginning to formulate what I wanted to say, the news broke that Outkast will be reuniting at Coachella. This is a true gift from the writing gods because I really had no basis… [Read More]
Daylight Savings, Sad Dudes, and Winter Music
I try to be one with nature. I don’t mean that in a literal sense. If things go correctly, I will never go camping again. I mean that my music taste is influenced by the seasons. Daylight savings time has ended and winter is upon us. It’ll be dark by… [Read More]
A Confederation of Kanyes
There are countless ways to talk about Kanye West in 2013. There’s egoism, the bravado, the fashion. You can talk about the music, the “rants” or Kim Kardashian. Kanye isn’t a sentence, he’s a conversation. But no matter how the conversation starts, whether it be Kim, Taylor or Jimmy, it… [Read More]
Jesse Pinkman, Style Icon
Jesse Pinkman is somewhat of a style non-icon. Like the character himself, Jesse’s clothes have changed significantly over the past 5.5 seasons.

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
This is funny. Jay-Z dropped the hyphen in his name yesterday, and will now go by Jay Z. I do not know the cause for this sudden change and can only speculate as to which expensive designer influenced Jay’s change of heart. I’m not sure how many people really knew… [Read More]
