Heart Break Radio: Sondre Lerche at the Bowery Ballroom

By Sybil • Dec 30th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment

Let me preface this article with this statement: I’m in a bad mood, and have been for a while now. It’s the unfortunate result of the Brown curse, which I will not go into in this article, which is meant to be a review of Sondre Lerche’s November 20th performance at the Bowery Ballroom. I [...]



Movie Review - “Crawford”

By Keith • Oct 14th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment, Featured Stories

With the presidential elections only 3 weeks away, the media landscape is ripe with political debate, and spin, and re-spin. This Friday sees the release of the satirical movie “W”, which comically depicts the life of President Bush. As much as I am looking forward to watching that movie when I get around to it, you can’t help but think about how perfectly timed its release in on October 17th, less than three weeks from the election.



The Tony Awards and Broadway: The Times They Are A Changin.

By Lily Cohen • Jun 23rd, 2008 • Category: Entertainment, Featured Stories, Uncategorized

The Tony awards, indisputably the most important night for the Broadway community, had its lowest viewer rating in history this year. This might not come as a surprise to many, but I, as an aspiring member of the Broadway community, am a little disappointed.



Music For a Run… and I’m Not Talking Campaign Songs.

By Justin Colby • Apr 8th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment, Featured Stories, Lead Story

While organizing files on an old backup drive, I found the “liner notes” for a mix that I made for a good friend of mine close to two years ago. You know, those songs with the fast tempo that make your legs move faster than you thought possible?



Charlton Heston: RIP

By Justin Colby • Apr 6th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment, Featured Stories

I was saddened by the news today that Charlton Heston had passed away at age 84. While his politics have been at times controversial, and in later years he’s been lampooned for his part in the gun lobby as president of the NRA, it’s hard to deny this great man’s contributions to the world of film.



A Fight That Won’t be Settled in The Ring

By Keith • Mar 28th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment, Featured Stories

Look out kids, this is going to be about Wrestling.
No, I don’t mean Olympic style — I mean the flying elbow-, chair shot-, multi million dollar- type wrestling. This Sunday will be what many consider the wrestling event of all wrestling events, WrestleMania!



WrestleMania XXIV Preview: Is this year’s PPV worth the 50 bucks?

The Wrestling Report by Ryan Healey
As most of you probably know, I am an avid wrestling fan. I am not ashamed to share that to the world. And in wrestling the single biggest show of the year is Wrestlemania. For the first time in 10 years, I am not watching wrestlemania this year.



Music Review: The Presidents of The USA - These are Good Times People!

By Ryan • Mar 17th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment, Lead Story

It’s weird that sometimes I now feel like an old man when I turn on the radio and hear new music. Like a withered grandpa, I just go, “Kids these days! Why cant they listen to cool music like we did in the 90’s?”

By Sybil • Mar 14th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment, Featured Stories

Planning a party? Sweet! Where at? Have you feng-shui’d the place? Do the carpets match the drapes? Wait… something tells me that last question’s got very little to do with planning the perfect party…
