We could spend this entire post talking about My Little Pony, and you probably wouldn't even notice because you're too excited about the new Daft Punk and/or in the process of pre-ordering it on iTunes right now. The only thing we're mad about is the fact that we have to wait almost two months to listen to the entire ... continue reading
As humans, we've gone to great lengths to get our drink on. Seriously, it's easy for most of us great grab a couple GnTs and make the night spin, but at some point someone had to actually come up with the idea of creating gin in the first place. The Drunken Botanist explores the roots of your favorite spirits. From ... continue reading
We're not going to waste time explaining why we love SuicideGirls because it's pretty obvious, and you probably feel the same way.

Now, we haven't had a chance to get a quote from Jessica Chastain about it, but we're sure she would say what a tremendous honor it is (while looking stunning ... continue reading
It's a well known fact that you don't publicly talk about religion or politics. When it comes to music, Radiohead can be a point of contention too. You could--and we did--spend countless hours debating "Kid A" and "OK Computer," but that's kind of irrelevant right now because Atoms for Peace's full length album "Amok" ... continue reading
Apparently, Dominic Episcopo never got the memo that you're not supposed to play with your food. In fact, it would appear he was given the exact opposite set of instructions as a youngster. Luckily, the meat artist (not a sexual innuendo) got extra playful with his new book "Meat America." The visually hunger-inducing ... continue reading
Rather than trying to explain what happens in the second season of Game of Thrones (you've probably already seen it, or we're not going to ruin anything for anyone that hasn't) we're just going to give you a bunch of reasons why you should watch it (again).

Spies are awesome. Thrillers are equally awesome. It follows naturally that the combination of two awesome things would be as awesome as the sum of its awesome parts.

If you're ready to go off the grid all Walden style, it would be best you planned that whole thing out ahead of time.

At some point in time you're going to see the new Bond movie Skyfall... if you haven't already. Rather than waiting for the Thanksgiving or Christmas marathon that runs every year on TBS in low def, you might as well pick it up on Blu-ray and enjoy it for the hi def masterpiece that it is. If you need more convincing, ... continue reading
There are a lot of media formats that have gone the way of the eight track.
