I (don’t) Love College

It seems there's no escaping Asher Roth and his ode to college life (i.e. drinking & women). Now it's bad enough I've gotta listen to this drivel at the gym, but even as I type it's playing on the "alternative channel" of Music Choice Television. I'll admit "I Love College" is catchy, but so was Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice ... [Read More]

Music That Makes You Dumb

If you listen to rap, odds are you won't be going to an Ivy League school. Virgil Griffith, inventor of WikiScanner (a database that tracks anonymous edits to Wikipedia in order to humiliate said people), has turned his attention to humiliating the musically-challenged. Griffith compared students' Facebook music preferences ... [Read More]

Closing the Door on Elevator Music

The downward spiral that is the economy isn't all bad. Sure people are losing their life savings, their jobs, even their homes. On the bright side, Muzak (the  company responsible for those incessant "cool jazz beats" you hear at the grocery store, mall, and of course elevators) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this ...

The #1 internet superhero musical of 2008 is finally out on DVD! No not Prop 8 – The Musical (gay is not a superpower). It's Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, of course. In what's gotta be the best origin story ever, it documents Dr. Horrible's (Neil Patrick Harris) rivalry with the self-absorbed hero Captain Hammer ... [Read More]

Flight of the Conchords – Season 2

The Conchords are back and their manager has great news for the band, too bad it's the wrong band. It's the kind of awkwardness that not even an impromptu song can undo. Tired of playing second fiddle to "The Crazy Dogs," Jemaine and Bret decided to manage themselves. Hilarity ensues? While the duo are as funny as ... [Read More]

Christmas with Weezer

For just $4.99 you can spend Christmas with Weezer. The band's recorded 6 classic Christmas songs exclusively for Tapulous, a music beat game for the iphone & ipod touch. I hate to be a Grinch... actually no I don't, these renditions are sorely lacking in personality and are a far cry from their cover of "The Christmas ... [Read More]
