If you’re around the Eastside tonight, head over the Blue Goose Lounge at 5201 Sunset Blvd. (across the street from Safari Sam’s) for the Comedy Coalition’s bi-weekly showcase. Along with several others, the event is being co-promoted by Ian “Sexy Results” Cohen and goes from 8:30-11:00. Comics include Adam Devine, Matt Champagne, Bret Ernst, Patrick… Continue reading »
Too early to tell, but I’m thinking The Cool might almost live up to the high praise Dart Adams and The Rap Up have thrown at it. It’s not album of the year good, but it’s good. Maybe great. As for “Paris, Tokyo?” It’d certainly be in my top 10 if I were going to… Continue reading »
It’s a full-time job just trying to keep up with all the rap records that leaked over the past week. I mean, The Wu, Scarface, Beanie Sigel, Styles P and now Ghost. Fuck. It’s a lot to handle. It’s enough to make a blogger want to call his local herbal dispensary to re-up for the… Continue reading »
My Morning Jacket’s cover of “Blue Moon” sounds pretty wonderful on this crisp Fall evening. Perhaps you agree. Download: MP3: My Morning Jacket-”Blue Moon”

Sometime after 50 arrived, the art of the narrative wandered into a blizzard of coke raps, artificial hood mythologizing and pandering simplicity. Complexity no longer moved units, and with sales sliding, Scarface xeroxes and ringtone rappers became the safe bets. You can’t blame the suits either. They’re just trying to save their jobs and besides,… Continue reading »
It’s impossible for Thanksgiving weekend to feel like Thanksgiving when it’s 70 degrees out and sunny and you randomly found yourself last night in a vaguely “trendy” Los Angeles bar watching a fedora-clad couple make out like they were trying to empirically decipher what the other had for Thanksgiving. (Seriously, do these people find each… Continue reading »
Forget the fact that “The Barrell Bros.” sounds like the title of an 8-bit NES game or maybe a Providence-based gross-out comedy made by the Farrelly’s, because the latest single leaked from The Big Dough Rehab is great. Why they released the underwhelming “Celebrate” first is beyond me. “The Barrell Bros” is just a snarling… Continue reading »
I’m sure I could ramble on for a few thousand words about my trip to New York but something seems inherently retarded in that. Of course, there’s something inherently retarded about blogging, so you’ll just going to have to settle for a few half-baked observations about my trip through the Eastern Seaboard. Like that all-knowing… Continue reading »

So apparently a new Wu-Tang mixtape leaked last week while I was gone. I’m sure most of you already have it, but for the few that don’t, I’ve uploaded it so you don’t have to go through the trouble of registering with Loud.Com. Most of the tracks have already been released in some form, be… Continue reading »

At the moment, I’m captioning a photo essay on R Kelly for Metromix. No really. I’m also listening to Double Up in its entirety for the first time ever (though I have previously re-played the videos for “Real Talk” and the “I’m a Flirt Remix” roughly 423 times). But for some reason, right now, I’ve… Continue reading »
