***** They remain one of the few hipster "cult" bands who deserve the (sorta) mainstream success that they've (sorta) acquired. But how "cult" is a band, really, when your last two CDs lived at the upper realms of Billboard's Top 200 album charts? Their 2007 release, NEON BIBLE, debuted and peaked at #2 - and … Continue reading Music Box: Out Of The Frying Pan, Into The ARCADE FIRE

And (Someone) Said, “Let There Be Facebook!”
I found these "early" status updates this afternoon on Facebook and thought they were hilarious. I'm not sure who created them, but, damn, he/she is brilliant (if you know the mind behind this, please let me know so I could update this post with the proper credit):
Imma Let You Finish, But Kanye West Has Some Of The Most Random Tweets Of All Time…Of ALL TIME
I can't imagine any one of his 400,000+ Twitter followers (including yours truly) not having a chuckle or two (or twenty) at his oddball stream-of-consciousness (and, natch, pompous) tweets, - which are more akin to Tracy Morgan's 30 ROCK Tracy Jordan persona than he'd probably ever like to admit - but suppose Kanye West's twitter … Continue reading Imma Let You Finish, But Kanye West Has Some Of The Most Random Tweets Of All Time…Of ALL TIME
“STRAIGHT. It’s the new GAY”
I've never heard of Steve Hughes before coming across this clip posted by one of my Facebook groups, WIPEOUT HOMOPHOBIA ON FACEBOOK, and according to his Wikipedia page, he was a member/founder of various thrash metal bands through the 80s and 90s in his native Australia. Such genre bands are not exactly the bastions of … Continue reading “STRAIGHT. It’s the new GAY”
Music Box: Swift Justice
I knew, if I pondered long and hard and deep enough, I would have discovered a legitimate reason for Taylor Swift existing. Ah, sweet epiphany...
Law & Disorder
I never needed an explanation at the story from years ago that told us of the woman who suffered the MARY HART SYNDROME - I can sympathize, going through my own form of mental gyrations at the sound of her voice. But, who knew that man's best friends deal with a similar - albeit less … Continue reading Law & Disorder
Reel Life: Master Class
I think the 'talents' of the dreadful TWILIGHT films could learn a thing or two about the art of acting from this beautiful 30 month old named Theo. Here, great actor Brian Cox teaches Theo the fine art of Shakespeare in what is now my favorite YouTube clip in weeks!
Dear God, Are You There? It’s Me, Jeffrey. Hello? Knock Knock!
Years ago, after the heinous Dr. Laura Schlessinger spewed her typical anti-gay rhetoric on the masses via her call-in radio show, an online “Dear Dr. Laura” letter was written inquiring about other biblical no-no's. The “Dr. Laura” was changed to “Dear President Bush” when George Jr. used gay marriage as a platform to rile the … Continue reading Dear God, Are You There? It’s Me, Jeffrey. Hello? Knock Knock!
Music Box: All You Single Ladies…Don’t Bother
Despite lyrics that sing, "There's a she-wolf in your closet, open up and let her free...let it out so it can breathe..." there's nothing closeted here. What makes Andrew Foster's proudly gay, almost frame-for-frame cover of Shakira's totally stupid "She-Wolf" video so refreshing is that, where Shakira took her unintentionally hilarious choreography way too … Continue reading Music Box: All You Single Ladies…Don’t Bother
