I miss a lot of things about college--the classes, the sense of intellectual engagement, the unreasonably late hour I could roll out of bed in the morning--but one of the things I miss most is the opportunity for obsession that comes from a flexible schedule. The more I work on learning breaking and popping, the more evident it becomes that I just don't have time to vaccuum up skills at the same rate...

ADAM LAMBERT 's kiss with a male backup dancer was the talk of 2009's American Music Awards. You would think that indecent exposure and same sex kissing was something new to the arena of popular music. So, I decided to compile a list of crotch grabbing and same sex lip smacking that's been done in the name of 'artistic expression'. CROTCHING Jim Morrison Exposing Himself On Stage Madonna Fake Masturbating...

"Yeah, Kevin Ferguson. On December 5th. The fight was presented to us and we didn't even hesitate. ... My hand is healed from the Sherman Pendergarst fight. We sparred on Sunday and it was 6 guys.

This has been out for a couple of years but I only saw it recently on late night SBS documentaries. It's a very smooth rendition of the Chicago 1968 Hoffman / Yippie / Black Panthers (Bobby Seale) trial 1968. I live through that time and the anti Vietnam war street demos. It was a historical hinge point. This documentary perturbed me because I lived through somewhat similar events in Australia - the...

So last week saw the release of Them Crooked Vultures' debut album. TCV is Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Josh Homme of many things including Queens of the Stone Age, and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. This qualifies TCV as a "supergroup," i.e. musicians from other bands decide to merge for a [...]

Music can be a powerful workout tool. Especially on days when I just don’t feel like working out. These are the days when I throw on the headphones and listen to a little Rage Against The Machine. Nothing gets the blood pumping like Rage.

Soren Kierkegaard is the father of existentialism but also a badass hard to understand writer. Part of difficulty comes from the fact that the melancholy Dane is rarely read within the context of his profound Christian faith. It is a bit like trying to understand the music of Rage Against the Machine without admitting their [...]
