You know, I originally picked the Drake/Teletubbies sun photo hybrid to head up this column because I thought it was funny. I figured others, too, would delight at the introspective, glowering King of the 6 juxtaposed against the most obnoxious…
What a fun week it’s been! Personally, my mind has been taken up by the whole Rapist Brock Turner fiasco. That kid sucks in every way possible. I don’t think I have much to add beyond what’s been said by others…
In case you pay no attention to the music world beyond the Billboard Top 40—highly unlikely if you landed here—guitars are far from dead. Last night, I got a look at two hard-rocking bands that can fill an arena with…
The Beach Boys couldn’t wait for June in “Surfin’ USA” all those years ago. Suffice it to say, they’ve returned to their happy place. And so have we, as it’s finally time for the first sizable music festival of the…
