Don’t Buy: Muxtape’s Reincarnation

So Muxtape is back. As previously reported, muxtape was a site to create mixtapes of any song you uploaded. There were search features! It wasn’t social so it even worked for a hermit like myself. But the RIAA stepped in and ruined everything.
Well, it did put a damper on things. But muxtape is back. But [...]

Don’t Buy: The Door Dash

<<TARGET
I really thought New York has become a haven of cleanliness and safety. Only a few months ago, I thought the subways would become amusement parks! But I was wrong, oh so wrong. Besides Brooklyn reverting to it’s 1970-1980’s alter-ego, Crooklyn, the subways are also losing their safe appeal (if there ever was one).
Now, it’s [...]

Buy: “The Wrestler” by Bruce Springsteen

What I’d really like to do is write a big gushy post about how much I love Bruce Springsteen, but I’ll spare you. Instead I will simply offer up the song he wrote for the Mickey Rourke star vehicle The Wrestler. It’s classic Bruce, aka great. It also won a Golden Globe [...]

Buy: EPIC Fail Risktakers

Sometimes I think things just happen to amuse me. For example, Joaquin Phoenix.
We all remember how he quit acting. His reasoning was to pursue a music career. Amusement factor: a low 4/10. What was this music career going to be? Would it be like Johnny Depp and focus on an instrument? Or maybe be more [...]

Don’t Buy: Hating on the Inauguration Uninterested

So, Obama has been President-Elect for a while now. Bush has been on his way out for a while. And… so…?
On Tuesday, Obama will become President. Haven’t we already decided that? So what’s so OMG about it? He already has the job. I don’t get it. There. Now you know my position on it. I’m [...]

Don’t Buy: American Apparel High Fashion

The first question American Apparel invokes in most people is, ‘Who would buy something like this?’ For most of the items, the easy answer is ‘hipsters.’ However, there are a few that are pitched at a completely different niche market.

This gold jacket, for instance, is for Israeli entertainment moguls.

And this faux-leather jacket is aimed at [...]

Buy: You Spin Me Right Round

Seriously. How is this not considered the greatest song of the 20th century???

Buy: Ryan Gosling’s Singing

Did you know Ryan Gosling has a band? Who knew he could sing? I didn’t. The band is called Dead Man’s Bones. And from the looks of this video, it’s a 2 piece band made of hot men. (Seriously, is that Ashton Kutcher on drums??)
In The Room Where You Sleep

Now, why do I care more [...]

Buy: End-of-Year Lists

For someone who’s rather disorganized, I really like lists. I like making them, and I like reading them. So when the end of each calendar year approaches, I get very excited about all the “Best of” lists that I know are waiting in the wings for publication.
And 2008 has not let me down! [...]
