Sons of Anarchy Review: “Black Widower” (7×01)
Welcome to season seven (!) of Sons of Anarchy! I hope you are ready to have some fun, because I sure as hell am. If you’ll remember, last season ended with Gemma bashing Tara’s head in with a kitchen fork, followed shortly by Juice shooting the woefully underdeveloped Officer Roosevelt in cold blood to protect…
A Music Snob’s Semi-Humorous Reactions to the 2014 VMA Winners
Video of the Year: Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX – "Fancy" Beyonce ft. JAY Z - "Drunk In Love" Pharrell Williams - "Happy" Sia - "Chandelier" Miley Cyrus - "Wrecking Ball" Seriously? She made out with a sledgehammer for three minutes. Crying on camera and being naked does not automatically constitute for art. Who should…
Jared Sokoloff’s Summer 2014 Playlist
It was a really good summer for me. I spent time with my amazing friends, taught myself some basic coding, and had a great internship. But most importantly, it was fueled by some amazing music. Amidst the usual Springsteen, Minus the Bear, and Porcupine Tree albums that I am almost constantly spinning, I spent a…

The Number Ones’ Self-Titled Debut Album Review
Good grief this band is hard to look up on the internet. Apparently a lot of things out there like to be number one. Obvious Highlander quote aside, I stumbled across this band and their self-titled debut LP through the typical Bandcamp digging and am happily content. The Number Ones is a Dublin band made…

2014 Emmy Predictions: Lead Actress in a Drama Series
When I was first writing the nomination predictions for this category, I said that this is one of the most competitive categories of the year. However, with all the episode submissions in it has turned into one of the weakest. Early frontrunner Robin Wright (House of Cards) seemed like a no brainer, until she submitted…
2014 FINAL Emmy Predictions: Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
[maxbutton id="3"] Lead Actor in a Comedy Series is pretty much an open race and it has been that way even before the nominees were announced. In the past, the default winner has been Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), and he returns strong to the race with yet another Sheldon is drunk episode. However, for me…
2014 FINAL Emmy Predictions: Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
[maxbutton id="3"] Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep) is going for the three peat, and I think she's going to do it. For some odd reason, she's been unable to submit her best for Veep. The first season she submitted the episode tears when there were clear alternatives like the Pilot and "Baseball." The second season, she submitted the episode…
Emmy Spotlight: Orange is the New Black
Did you know that it’s the first season of Orange is the New Black that is in contention at this year’s Emmy ceremony? I sure didn’t. So go ahead and check out my absurdly belated review of season two that I totally didn’t write by accident after you finish up here. And now, let’s all…
