I went to see Electric Six last night, and boy, do those guys know how to put on a show! It wasn't quite as exciting as the last time I saw them, but that time they had Junior Senior with them, so it was double the fun. Nevertheless, it was still a rockin' good time. The lead singer is so damn cheesy, but in a highly entertaining way. He does all ( Read more... )

I meant to bring this up earlier, but for any of you who are fans of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, you must go check out the activity we have on the Cartoon Network Web site. (You can access it directly by going here: http://www.fostersfriends.com) Basically, you can adopt an ( Read more... )

I know several of you out there are fans of The Lonely Island Web site, just like me. Well, I just found out that The Dudes from over at The Lonely Island got jobs at Saturday Night Live this season! To which I say: Good for them! I know it's very trendy to bash SNL these days, but there's no denying that it's a great place to hone skills and ( Read more... )

Tonight I went to see the "Phantom of the Opera" at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. I had seen it several years ago and enjoyed it, so I decided to tag along when I heard some friends were going to see the current run. Once again, it was entertaining, although I still maintain that it's one of the most overrated plays in history. Don't get me wrong, I ( Read more... )

Well, another Dragon Con has passed, and I still have all my limbs intact, so I consider it a success. This seemed to be the con of "less is more", and no, that's not a reference to girls dressed in police caution tape. There just seemed to be fewer people altogether, fewer incredible costumes, fewer celebrity guests I wanted to meet and fewer ( ( Read more... )

It feels kind of odd that Bravo, a channel that started out with some measure of cred among the intelligentsia, appears to be the new King of Reality TV (a dubious honor, at best).

I guess it all started with Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, a show that I've never really watched, but I would certainly consider a breakout hit in the reality ( Read more... )

I think I've finally lost patience with hidden tracks on CDs. Um, yeah, it was cool back in 1997 when you left a CD playing and then realized--wait a minute--there's another whole song on here that I didn't even know about! That musical artist is so generous for making me think I was getting twelve songs when actually, they're giving me THIRTEEN ( Read more... )

If you've never heard the album "The Adventures of MC Skat Kat & the Stray Mob", it's actually worse than you can imagine. If you're one of the few who listened to it back in the day, it's actually worse than you remember. To refresh the memory of the pop-culture-challenged, MC Skat Kat was Paula Abdul's funky fresh cartoon companion in the music ( Read more... )

Well, it's officially my birthday now, but I don't feel any older. Maybe it'll hit me later. Well, there's really no way that this year can top last year's pure, concentrated laser-like beam of Happy Birthday-ness, most obviously because the fun is lot more spread out this year. Some of my buddies had a party for me three weeks ago, because ( Read more... )

I know this may not be meaningful to anybody else out there, but one of my voiceover heroes passed away this week. Not only was he the legendary voice of Tony the Tiger for over 50 years, he also was the singing voice in "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". If somehow you've never eaten Frosted Flakes or watched "The Grinch", but have been to ( Read more... )
