| Everyone’s Gone to the Movies: Passion of the Weiss Oscar Round-Up Part 1 — The Honorable Mentions | February 28, 2014 |
Much like the Grammy’s, the Academy’s selection process is questionable. Though it may seem that more often than not The Oscars do a good job of picking the cream of the crop, there are any number of outstanding films in a given year that will undoubtedly be left behind. So a few of us have […]

Brad Beatson has his own line of shoes and you didn’t even know it. Little has changed with Jungle since we named their EP, The Heat, #40 on our best albums of 2013 list.
