I used to have a noise rock themed radio show in college. It all began when I picked up a copy of Whip It On, the debut EP from The Raveonettes, at a Princeton record store. It honestly blew my mind. The entire EP was written in Bb minor, and drenched in sweet, delicious fuzz.…
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…
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…
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…
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…

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…

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…
[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…
[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…
