In Do the Shuffle, one of our team members puts their iPod on shuffle and makes a playlist out of the first ten songs that play. It’s a great way to find new music or rediscover the old stuff. Enjoy! 1. The Heavy - "Long Way From Home" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoB5ahJvjTk 2. Girls - "Lust for Life"…
It's just about halfway through the year, so it seems appropriate to star bringing out the best of lists. First, we're going to start off with the Top 5 Drama Episodes of 2014. All the episodes on this list aired in the 2014 calendar year, not the 2013-14 television series. My one rule for this…
out of 10 I dare you to find me a show that balances its larger than life premise with genuine human emotion and perspective better than Penny Dreadful.

out of 10 Pain and Gain is an action/comedy film directed by Michael Bay. Now before you close this page and immediately say this movie is crap, let me explain, because this film is actually pretty good. Starring Mark “Marky Mark” Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie, the film, based on…
In Do the Shuffle one of our team members puts their iPod on shuffle and makes a playlist out of the first ten songs that play. It’s a great way to find new music or rediscover the old stuff. This week's is courtesy of writer Brooke Schmidt's iPod. Enjoy! 1. Waiting | Waxahatchee | Cerulean Salt…
