By

Published: November 11, 2009Posted in: Music

ThemCrookedVulturesThem Crooked Vultures’ self-titled debut album is quite possibly the most impressive debut album in the history of music (I’m serious), and with good reason. It hits the rock genre, grabs it by the balls, and doesn’t let go for the duration. It’s packed with strong, catchy songs, and is without question one of the best albums of the year.

If you are a fan of music, and you haven’t heard of Them Crooked Vultures yet, you must be living under a rock, underground, or are just downright delusional. The three-piece band is comprised of three very well known musicians you might have heard of before.

[Retro Game Review] Kaboom (Atari 2600)

kaboom!Review:

The plot line of Kaboom! is as simple as simple gets. A “mad bomber” is dropping an endless stream of bombs into a desolate area and it is up to you, the player, to move unmanned buckets back-and-forth to catch the bombs before they hit the ground. You start with three buckets (plus an additional one once you’ve accumulated 1,000 points), loosing one each time one of the bombs hits the ground. The game ends once all buckets are lost.

Kaboom! is so simplistic, a positive review could be written in two simple words: “it’s fun.” But I, being the smug fucker that I am, wouldn’t feel right without elaborating so as to dazzle you, the reader, with my decadent linguistic skills.

TV Shows You Should Watch (And the ones I beg you to skip)

Television is as American as Apple Pie. Many of us enjoy nothing more than plopping our lazy asses in front of the TV and basking in the glow of that heavenly little box as it washes over our collective senses. I know I do.

I’m familiar with how the Hollywood machine works. Some shows survive, some shows die quick and sometimes undeserved deaths. They never get a chance to find their audience, and are bounced around various days and timeslots, and the network never gets behind them. The most obvious of these types of shows is the tragically phenomenal Arrested Development, a 3 season TVgasm that the FOX network never seemed to know what they had. They bounced around the show from day to day, time to time, and the audience never got a chance to find it (though the show has really grown a nice audience thanks to DVD).

[Appaling Music News] The Weezer Snuggie

Remember when Weezer used to be awesome? Remember The Blue Album, and how it may still be the best pop record of the past 20 years and how they’ve never been able to come anywhere near topping it? Well, instead of trying to do so, apparently the band has decided to do this.

I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Rivers Cuomo and his ironic uncoolness, but this; this is a bit much.

Hey guys, I hope everyone is participating fully in No-Shave November. I enthusiastically skipped out on my monthly shave just to celebrate, and it feels good. My neck/double chin area now has about as much hair as a 12 year-old  kid’s genitalia, and the ladies are loving it!

Aside from that, there weren’t any real changes or updates this week. However today is the last day we can accept entries into our Starbucks Giveaway, so make sure you head on over to the contest page and get your booty signed up!

speedway savings

All November long drivers who purchase gas at a Speedway Gas Station and use their Speedy Rewards Card with be rewarded with 3¢ off of every gallon. That may not seem like much, but it’s free savings. At Kroger Gas Stations you can save up to 10¢ per gallon, but that’s only if you purchase at least $100 in groceries first. And with gas prices going back up, you can use all the help you can get.

[Food Review] The Flying Cow from McDonald’s

Once in a great while a food so great, so cheap, and so filling comes into existence. Fellow food lovers, that time has cometh! I speak of the flying cow, a tasty and oh so filling meal in its own right. I’m sure you read this now in curiosity, or just so you can spite me in comments at the end, but either way you’re reading and that’s what matters!

The flying cow is a surprisingly simple sandwich to create. Factor in a price tag of about two dollars (depending on your use of a double cheeseburger or the “Mcdouble”) and it becomes something children and adults alike can enjoy.  I simply go to the nearest McDonald’s, and ask for a Double cheeseburger and a McChicken sandwich. Some may stop here saying “Hamburger AND a chicken sandwich? Pft get out of here!” but I will not be leaving.

[Music Review] Kate Miller-Heidke “Curiouser”

By
Andrew Majors
Published: November 4, 2009Posted in: Music

kate_miller-heidke_curiouserA lot of people have a sour taste in their mouth when it comes to Pop Music. They think it’s all supposed to be sugary lyrics paired together with subpar music and a pretty face, and to a degree that is the case. The music industry gets behind acts of solo artists who are attractive and produce inoffensive music. The problem is, that music is pretty offensive to people with ears, who have to listen to it repeatedly on every freaking radio station within a 2,000 mile radius.

But there are bands/performers on pop music stations that don’t suck. My No. 1 example is always Justin Timberlake. That guy is freaking money. But for every Timberlake we get five Soulja Boy’s or Lady Gaga’s (with or without penis), and their music pollutes our eardrums.
