Behind Michael Jordan, Ken Griffey Jr. likely ranks as my favorite athlete of the 1990′s. For good reason, too. The Braves were/still are my favorite team, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find myself pulling for the Mariners back when they had Randy Johnson (with the mullet), a very young Alex Rodriguez and KGJ24. They were baseball’s version of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin…minus the championships and drugs (well, A-Rod had yet to…nevermind). Read the rest of this entry »

Normally I’d be hesitant to post a song by a band my girlfriend liked before me, but in the case of Vancouver indie pop duo Tegan & Sara, I have found an exception. Nonstop jamming to their aggressive new Sainthood single “Alligator,” I realized these two sorta-sexy lesbian twins have brewed a fresh cup of anti-love attitude with an awakening aroma full of heavy drums, clanky hats and an unremorseful baseline that shrugs haters off on sight. And since it’s so damn good, the blatant girl power doesn’t even phase me.

This will probably get more play in my car than you’d expect.

Capone-N-Noreaga preached about parole violations over a decade ago but since the South came to power, most of the older classics don’t even matter anymore. It’s disheartening, disappointing and any other word you can think of to attach the “dis” prefix to see this go down. Read the rest of this entry »

I was up late working last night & Amerie popped up to perform on Jimmy Kimmel. You know what happened. Mesmerized by the legs. But not just the legs because even her backup dancers were gyrating & gettin’ it in, dry-humping the ground Read the rest of this entry »

Say whatever you will about her appearance, but Lady Gaga has got grind in her blood. After going from an oddball name to rocking stadiums in less than a year, this overnight pop superstar is already back with yet another Billboard burner, “Bad Romance,” the lead single from her upcoming second album The Fame Monster.

It’s remarkable, yet unfathomable how the basic human instinct for the need of self-preservation works. If you should choose, with your natural right of being a free individual, to use that right to kill other human beings for the sake of sport, obviously you clocked out of the Rationalityville some time ago.

Still, the D.C. Sniper a.k.a. John Allen Muhammad exhausted all his appeal opportunities in trying to reverse his sentence into life imprisonment. Like gripping prison bars somehow gave him a shocking revelation that he was indeed evil.

Glad his clemency was denied. Read the rest of this entry »
