Lee Pace Rumored to Join ‘Breaking Dawn’ Cast. Wait… WTF?
Actor Lee Pace, most known for the hilarious and lovely little show ‘Pushing Daisies‘, is a great actor. I love watching him perform, especially in the highly stylized, brilliant art film ‘The Fall‘. Since then, he’s also been seen in Tom Ford‘s directorial debut ‘A Single Man‘ and can be seen in the recently released to DVD romantic comedy ‘Wh...[Read More]
One Thing to Look Forward To: Heroes Season 4 DVD Release
With the August 3rd DVD release of the fourth and final season of NBC’s ‘Heroes‘, I’ve been forced to reminisce about the show that in many ways changed my life.
Summer Playlist
If you’re a music buff like me, you have a playlist for every occasion, every season, every single private dance party. Of all the playlists I make, however, the one I most enjoy is my summer playlist. Though it’s not solely comprised of light, warming tunes, it keeps me going on both the drab days and the days I feel like taking in the hot summer sun. This is a very limited recommenda...[Read More]

Leonard Nimoy Explores ‘Secret Selves’
Famous Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy has done it again. No, he has not been featured in yet another Star Trek film as pointy eared Vulcan, Spock. Mr. Nimoy has done it again by releasing a new photography series, long awaited by fans of both his art and film, to be featured this weekend at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
Let the Right One In: A Recommendation
With the Twilight franchise stealing away attention from vampire films (and more notable films in general), it has also popularized vampire film all over the world in a way that has not been experienced in the current generation. When perusing the aisles of movie rental and sale establishments, it is not difficult to come across quickly made vampire movies, thrown together just to fuel the flames ...[Read More]
Recommended Listening: The Vandals
The Vandals. The Vandals have been around since before I was born, but they’ve managed to maintain the personality of a 15-year old punk rock kid for over 30 years. The current, and most widely recognized line-up has been around since 1990, but the band first started in 1980. The Vandals are legen….wait for it…I hope you’re not lactose intolerant…dary!
Recommended Listening: Propagandhi
Oddly enough, and without any kind of intent on my part, this Recommended Listening installment takes us back…to Canada! It’s odd to think that Canada, home of the Mounties and maple syrup, could have contributed so much awesome music to the world (though, to be fair, not all music that comes out of Canada is awesome. I’m looking at you, Nickelback.).
Recommended Listening: INDK
In much the same way that INXS is pronounced In Excess, extremely short-lived punk band INDK is pronounced In Decay. This is where the similarities between INXS and INDK end, let me assure you.
Recommended Listening: The Epoxies
I’m not entirely sure how to start an article on The Epoxies, to be perfectly honest. They were…odd. Pleasantly odd. Formed as a reaction to the steady decline of stage performance and entertainment in rock music, The Epoxies made massive efforts to set themselves apart from their contemporaries, evoking some of the spirit of bands like Devo in the process.
Recommended Listening: Bedouin Soundclash
Prepare yourselves for something incredibly strange… Bedouin Soundclash is a Canadian reggae band. I know, I know. How can a Canadian band be any good? Well, Rush was Canadian, and they were awesome, so nyah nyah. Back to the topic, the Canadian reggae band led by a white dude.
Recommended Listening: Against All Authority
Against All Authority brings the Recommended Listening series back to the ska genre in a very hard way. Primarily a ska-core band, Against All Authority mixes the sounds of ska and hardcore punk in a blender of musical glory. To put it succinctly, Against All Authority will ska-core your normal-music-listening-panties off.
