Spoiler Alert: Wisconsin Coach Bo Ryan Is A Gaping A-Hole

04.19.12 Written by David D.

One of sports’ biggest debates is between the two camps on either side of the “college athletes should get paid” argument. One side thinks that college kids get paid enough thanks to full tuition, tutoring and residual poontang.

The ILLZ – “Weightless (Alamar)”

04.11.12 Written by David D.

Artwork: Rodolfo Diaz

The ILLZ’s music is like a great novel. You need to spend time with it and enjoy it alone. I always imagine him performing at 3am at a nigh-abandoned dive bar with a light jazz accompaniment backing him. Produced by Fragile State, “Weightless” is no different. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover,

Anyone that knows me is aware I’m a huge fan of your music and comedy and have been ever since you freaked out at the end of the third episode of Community.

However, at some point she introduced me to “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea,” which is the best thing I’ve taken from any of my jacked up relationships from my past. Read the rest of this entry »

The Day LeBron James Surpassed Michael Jordan

03.25.12 Written by David D.

Let’s begin with this: I don’t dislike LeBron for leaving Cleveland. He was a free agent and well within his rights. I don’t even judge him for “The Decision” special. It was a dumb mistake fed by a 26-year-old ego. Read the rest of this entry »
