Grey’s Anatomy‘s 9th season so far has been, um, let’s go with evocative. Like earlier seasons, the 9th has struggled with some melodrama, quite a few jokes that didn’t land, and a general lack of subtlety (this isn’t Parenthood, people, I don’t know what else you were expecting). But damn if there aren’t two things […]

I was slightly apprehensive to attend F.U.D.G.E’s Parade after the Joseph . . . Dreamcoat debacle. However, the company seems to have outdone themselves, and they are back to their creative high from last fall’s award-winning Spring Awakening. The return of some of their strongest company members with Joey DeMita’s strong direction makes this production […]
Abel Tesfaye has been around long enough to be selling out shows but you still might not know who he is or why people (see John Norris of MTV) are calling him the “next Michael Jackson.” He’s found the essence of a generation in his drug-riddled tales of desperate adoration, sex, and pain.

I am going to be perfectly honest with you: I had very serious doubts about the new wildcard playoff game when Selig announced the new format before the start of the 2012 season. After watching how things worked out to end the season, baseball’s new playoff system was just one blown call short of perfection. […]
In its final season, Weeds got back to basics in a lot of ways. It’s been 8 very long years with the Botwins but ultimately it’s been 8 pretty good ones. At the end of season three, when Agrestic burned to the ground, the series lost its satirical core (and many of its most engaging […]
Deftones have been creating music since ’88 and haven’t had a single line-up change until tragedy struck their bassist Chi Cheng in 2008 (he’s been recovering at home as of the latest news, which is amazing to hear). I bring this up because after twenty years together as a single unit, bringing in somebody new to continue the […]
