What We’ve All Been Waiting For…Moranis: The Album

It’s about time actor Rick Moranis (of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids fame) released a country album! Seriously, how many times have you been sitting at home wondering why it hasn’t happened yet?
Moranis elaborates about “Why a country album?” on his Web site: “A few years ago, just after [my kids] started listening to music [...]

America’s Next Top Model Totally Confuses Me

NICOLE WON!?!?!? What the HELL? Nik was totally robbed. Don’t even get me started on Naima winning last year. Did you see her in the fashion show? SO FUG.
I do NOT understand how the judges decide who wins. Tyra, you crazy!

And in the best quote about Nicole made on ONTD: “nicole’s. not. cute.

When a Teen Mag Meets Synth Pop, You Can Set the Night on Fire

Yes, I love teen magazines, so how could I pass up the opportunity to go to the ELLE Girl “Music Issue” party at Webster Hall featuring a performance by VHS or Beta? I just couldn’t!

Little did I know it was actually [...]

The Big Sleep at Fat Baby

On Friday I went to the “Not So Silent Night” at Fat Baby where I happened to catch The Big Sleep. In the middle of their set (which consisted of loud, deconstructed rock–with little in the way of lyrics, but those who like long rock/metal jams will be appreciative of their sound.) I [...]

Hot Topic of the Week: Downtown Bars
