I passed on John McCain's speech because Almost Famous was on one of the HBOs and I haven't seen it in a long time. It's one of my favorite movies, and this scene alone is one of the reasons why...

I know I have lived in America for almost five years now and so I should be used to all of the schmaltz and ceremony of a presidential election, but do people really believe this guff? The excerpts I saw of Michelle Obama’s speech last night were more like the outtakes from a second rate [...]

I’ve been rather remiss in discussing My Morning Jacket’s newest release ‘Evil Urges’, and frankly that needs to change. The Louisville, Kentucky quintet is easily one of the best American acts going right now (in my not-really-that-humble opinion), and I’m digging ‘Evil Urges’ so much that I’m willing to forgive them for the ungodly [...]

The Sundance Channel has announced the lineup for the fourth season of Iconoclasts. I'm a big fan of this documentary series -- it pairs artists from different fields, and, more often than not, the results expose something about the subjects...

I get legitimately angry when people enjoy something in pop culture that I myself cannot tolerate. The idea that there are people out there who like “Sex And The City,” and that they are quite legion in number, makes me want to abandon this planet for Rigel 7 posthaste. And the fact that [...]
