As a second-semester senior, I have suddenly been afflicted with a disorder that prevents me from beginning coursework before approximately 1:45 a.m. And as a major in psychology, of course, I must attribute this condition to some grand defect which I cannot precisely identify.
At first glance, it appears as if Sin City is the latest installment in the trend of increasingly gruesome comic books, but that impression is incorrect for a couple of reasons. First off, the Sin City series began its run in 1991 but has only recently found widespread recognition with the production of the major motion picture of the same name.
Air America. Kind of sounds like a revolutionary air filtration system that eliminates 98 percent of dust, dander and spores, but not so. In fact, it is a national radio network working to eliminate the conservative domination of the radio airwaves. Air America Radio, broadcasting since March 31, 2004, originally emerged, at least in part, to counter the Bush re-election machine.
Many times in life, you finds yourself doing the right thing for the wrong reason or the wrong thing for the right reason. Such is the dilemma—actually the thrill—of Mercenaries, where you complete tasks for opposing factions solely in pursuit of monetary rewards. Morality be damned in this land where cash and gunpowder reign supreme.
Q: What do DESERTGRANNY541, El Ganador, and PHAT ELVI§ have in common?
Just when you thought the G-Funk era was over, Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Nate Dogg have delivered an excellent but unheralded hip-hop release called The Hard Way.
Unless you are a hoops aficionado, you probably didn't notice Miami Heat back-up point guard Rafer Alston during the NBA playoffs this year. Scoring an average of seven points per game, he was a fine replacement when rookie phenom Dwayne Wade needed a rest, but Alston hasn't always been just a role player.
Opening acts don't get much recognition. At times, that lack of attention is well warranted, but once in a while, you'll get lucky and see two quality shows for the price of one. Such will be the case at this year's Last Day of Classes. Dilated Peoples, an innovative hip-hop trio out of Los Angeles, is deserving of your punctuality on April 21.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a comic strip has got to be worth at least a million. Luckily, the internet can hold at least twice that many. Comics have transcended your daily fishwrap to the digital medium with remarkable success. You can now get all of your old favorites gratis at sites like comics.com and ucomics.com. More importantly, the Web gives aspiring cartoonists an outlet for their work. With exclusive web comics, cartoonists can cater to a particular interest groups like video gamers (www.penny-arcade.com), movie buffs (www.threaterhopper.com), and cynics (www.toothpastefordinner.com, www.boasas.com).
Sometimes, German Chocolate and Strawberry Shortcake just won't do. If you find yourself hosting a 21st birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party--or the occasional bris--an erotic cake may better fit the bill. Depending on your crowd, a fine selection might be a butter cream penis or a pair of cheesecake breasts.
Can a producer make the crossover to become a respectable MC? The eternal question presents itself again on Kanye West's debut album College Dropout.
After wildly unsuccessful CD releases by Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan and the Wrestling Boot Band, hillbilly wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin and apparent elfin cookie heiress/WWE diva Stacy Keibler couldn't help but get in on the act. World Wrestling Entertainment, the guilty pleasure our generation knew as the WWF, has released an album that has--remarkably--exceeded the badness of the wrestling itself. This album is, in a word, awful.
Last night at 10:30, you missed out on some crazy sh*t, biatch. In the image of "The Ben Stiller Show," "Mr. Show," "The State" and other fine sketch comedy series that have gone the way of Crystal Pepsi, Comedy Central's "Chappelle's Show" is currently pushing the envelope. It delivers at least an hour of laughter in its half-hour time slot with an exceptional assortment of pop culture spoofs, sketches about crack heads and jokes about boobies, knockers, chesticles and sweater puppets. Each episode consists of a smattering of skits, linked by stand-up segues and topped off with a musical performance by one of hip-hop's finest. Artists in store for the upcoming season include DMX, Common and Ludacris.
All good things must come to an end. That includes even Jay-Z's streak of nine consecutive platinum-plus albums. At his Sept. 24 Madison Square Garden show, he announced that his upcoming Black Album would be his final studio effort. In typical Jay-Z fashion, though, he's going out with a bang. He's commissioned 11 different producers to craft the album's 14 songs in their respective styles. This cast of characters includes The Neptunes, Eminem, Timbaland and 9th Wonder of local hip hop trio Little Brother.
