Alt-J’s sophomore effort “This Is All Yours” has been brutally criticized as a tuneless, unimaginative record of unearthly sounds, which is surprising for a band that has been dubbed “the next Radiohead.” Reviews say thae lyrics mean nothing, the music isn’t quite there and none of it really means anything. I say, take another listen. Check out…
The CMJ music marathon, which is really going to give the Iditarod a run for its money, absolutely wiped me out. It was an insane week of head bopping, boozing, and absolute madness as I attempted to hold some sense of sanity as my sleep deprived body moved from venue to venue trying to keep…
The first time I watched You're Next was when it finally made it to a wide release after making the rounds at festivals for nearly two years. Although it already had a lot of premise-bias against it, its biggest hurdle was to overcome the success of “The Conjuring," which premiered earlier that summer. Although "The Conjuring"…
It's the episode we've been waiting for since the Pilot and is a sign of the end for The Good Wife. Towards the end of "Shiny Objects," Alicia takes the stage to announce her candidacy for State's Attorney.

Its sound is raw and menacing at times, but its construction couldn’t be more tightly controlled. The New Orleans-based Booker burst onto the music scene with…

There was a period of time during 3rd and 4th seasons that the show fell into a pattern of stagnant stories and the case of the week format. While that worked for the series for a while, it became clear…
I was both excited and concerned coming into the sixth season premiere of The Good Wife. Excited because they were coming off their best season yet and concerned because they were coming off their best season yet. It would be an understatement to say that season 5 was a game changer. We saw who was essentially the male…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRmuM08JC-w#t=296 The last time I saw Death Cab in concert was in 2012 during the summer before my Freshman year of college. When my friend and I got to the Wellmont in Montclair, there was a crowd of about 20 crowding the middle of the pit. So, we had two choices: stand on the left…
Last night's Emmy awards were a mixed bag. There were some great wins and frustrating loses, and while the ceremony went smoothly, it did have its low points. So, here is a list of my so called Emmy superlatives. Most Satisfying Win: Watching Bryan Cranston win his final Emmy for Breaking Bad was awesome, but I have…
