Blunt-Blocked

So today I went along for moral support and tried to go see James Blunt at the Cutting Room for the MySpace “Secret” Show. We didn’t end up getting in to see him by about 40 people, but we hung out in the bar area while he sang.
I’m totally indifferent to James Blunt and his […]

Fall Out Boy Throw Down on…Kidz Bop?

In the funnest smackdown of the week, Fall Out Boy totally sticks it to pre-teen music makers Kidz Bop by putting a halt to their song “Dance, Dance” being included on Volume 10 of the wildly popular kids music CDs.

Allo Montréal!

This weekend I did what most Americans wish they had done, I headed for the home of Celine Dion, The Stills, and Priestess–yes, that’s right, I ran for the border and frolicked in the beautiful Canadian city of Montréal with my homies.
But one of the most frightening/amusing things that happened there was we were walking […]

What Happened, Norman Reedus?

Haha! After a weekend of describing the really hot guy from the Panic! at the Disco video “I Write Sins, Not Tragedies” to “Norman Reedus’s really hot younger brother” I swear I JUST saw Norman Reedus as I was walking home right now. He’s looking a bit chunkier than say…he did in the Boondock Saints, […]
