American Idol was Horrible: Guy Edition

Wow. Another completely disappointing show. This really might be the weakest season yet. It was hard to be worse than the girls on Wednesday, but I think the guys pulled it off. There was only one insane train wreck courtesy of Tim Urban, but as a whole the guys were just blah. Pencil Casey James [...]

American Idol was Horrible: Girl Edition

I’ll keep this short: American Idol sucked last night. All twelve girls either were boring, made bad song choices or just sounded like lame karaoke. Even my home-region girl Katie Stevens skewed way older with her Michael Buble song and missed the mark. I think she’ll still coast this week but she needs to have [...]

Girl Scout Cookies!!!

It’s that time of year. Girl Scout cookies have arrived and we’re already through half of the boxes. They’re addictive. I could polish off a sleeve in one sitting if necessary. But the question is which are the best kind? Did you know there’s technically eleven types of Girl Scout brand cookies? I didn’t. You [...]

New Found Glory/Saves the Day 10 Year Aniversary Show

Ten years ago New Found Glory released their self-titled CD that launched their career as pop-punk’s favorite sons. I was 15 and a sophomore in high school. I had recently traded sports for music and New Found Glory was that album for me. It was poppy yet fast and heavy. Every song was about girls [...]

Tiger Woods Is Deeply Sorry. Really. Sorry.

Tiger Woods took the stand finally addressed the world this morning. He stood their for thirteen minutes and spilled his pre-written guts. All-in-all the whole pomp and circumstance was pathetically lame. Tiger must really love those porn stars because he’s turned into a giant pussy. Shockingly, he apologized to everyone including his wife and sponsors [...]

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day was the worst movie I’ve seen in a theatre since Ms. Congeniality 2. You may wonder why I even attended such an atrocity. The reason is compromise. It’s really what all relationships come down to, especially on Hallmark holidays. I pick Zombieland on blu-ray from Netflix (eh…), and she picks Valentine’s Day. In [...]

Rustic Overtones Live at The Stone Church

Rustic Overtones killed it last night a The Stone Church in Newmarket, NH. It was probably the best sounding live performance I’ve seen out of the Portland, Maine group. The band tore through several tracks off The New Way Out and even treated the crowd to older songs like “Girl Germs” and “Simple Song.” The [...]
