Why Aren’t You Watching This: Justified
Sep 26th
As far as decent cop shows go, we all know the usual suspects: The Wire, The Shield… The Wire. But I’d like to add a new player to the list, if I may.
FX’s Justified, which has been running since 2010 and is gearing up for it’s 3rd season, is less More >
Why Aren’t You Reading This: Scifi
May 26th
I wish book stores didn’t couple scifi and fantasy in the same area. The teen section usually isn’t far off either. I feel embarrassed picking up a book beside some dude who looks like Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons, reading his scantily clad heroine fantasy series. That’s why I More >
Nature/God Game
Feb 26th
God does not exist. But you can play like it in this upcoming game I just saw a trailer for and know nothing about. Actually, they market it more as ‘nature’. Even better!
It looks reminiscent of Black and White, a game that was released several years ago when we were More >
Foster the People
Feb 16th
Now, I’m not generally known within the MIT crew for making music recommendations. Usually I’m bandwaggon jumping weeks to months after the fact, so I was initially reluctant to post this. Who knows, maybe I’m late to the party once again and HMS and Lonely will tell me this is More >
The First Time I’ve Ever Been Excited By Anything Chrysler Has Done
Feb 7th

But a game marked more by Green Bay receivers dropping passes and Ben Roethlisberger making shocking decisions with the ball than by anything positive. Also, that halftime show was pretty much the worst musical event More >
Go to the Theatre for the Right Reasons
Feb 1st
I can’t seem to wrap my head around why some people would spend 10 to 18 bucks and race to the theatre to see something that looks no better on the big screen than it does their home T.V. Is it to say that they saw it first? Or so More >
Random News from the UK Grime Scene
Feb 1st
Yes, that's his name on the shirt. Twice.
Last Friday, in lieu of doing any actual work, I decided it was high time I got back into UK grime. Grime’s a genre I’ve always felt a bit ambivalent towards. No real reason, except that hip-hop in non-North American accents always sounds More >
Kanye! Covered by Cellos!
Feb 1st
The Portland Cello Project has been doing their thing for a while now, but this is definitely my favourite performance by them yet; an orchestral cover of Kanye’s “All of the Lights”. Pedants might feel a need to point out that the original is already pretty orchestral, but they hate fun, More >
