I am currently making my way through Edith Hamilton’s seminal collection of Greek, Roman and Norse myths titled simply Mythology. I started re-reading it last year on my honeymoon which coincided with the Athens Olympics (a perfect time to be reading Greek mythos) and am still at it after many stops and starts. In finishing […]
Mark your calendar now: July 4th, 2007 will the day that a new live-action “Transformers” movie hits the big screens, though right now I’m very wary of it.

I received an email at work yesterday stating that “the tragic events in London late last week require a disruption of the ordinary” which included the 3 quotes below. If you can, take 5 minutes to read and reflect on what those men are really saying: This is the duty of our generation as we […]

My friend and sometimes co-worker Gil knows the drummer in Mindless Self Indulgence and got me on the guest list for last night’s show at Webster Hall which was awesome considering one of my favorite things in the world to say is, “I’m on the list.” The show itself fucking rocked – I really liked […]
For the next few weeks, AOL Music has every Live 8 performance available for you to stream to your very own computer. Watch the biggest concert event in history, on-demand, as many times as you want. Some performances are obviously better than others. You decide which is which. Enjoy.
I for one am deeply saddened by the London bombings, especially since I not only used to live in London and am familiar with the areas affected but because I used to take the Edgeware Road stop very frequently (it was right by one building I took classes in). The tube is scarier than the […]
You know you are pretty bad when, as a fan, your ineptitude is so great that even the AP mentions it in their game recap: “Rob Marchese, a 41-year-old businessman from Queens sitting in a folding chair in the first row in the right-field stands, fumbled away both Rodriguez’s and Giambi’s homers.” I was watching […]
