Ill-Thought Out Observations From This Year’s Grammy’s

Because Live Blogging is so gauche. Occasionally the Grammy Committee’s old fogey sensibility yields huge dividends. See the inclusion of Morris Day and the motherfucking Time.

You Get It 4 Free

Curious about this one. I didn’t get down much with the Hell Hath No Fury hype but you can’t really deny the first two installments in this series.

I Will Not Bow Down to Any Corporate Sponsor

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asoXx5wSIGE My friend, the advice vixen, Stephanie Frasco, has taken out an ad on the right hand sidebar of this page. She has also started a new blog for her renowned You Tube advice column, Ask Frasco. Though I’m obviously biased, I think you should check it out if you have a spare moment. The… Continue reading »
