The coincidence: last night Japan won the title game in the World Baseball Classic, and last night I happened across a curious minor relic of the relationship between baseball in the U.S. and baseball in Japan. The question it raised in my mind: do th ... More >>

    RAMBO. I wish I had been watching it last night instead of MEET THE SPARTANS (see review here), but duty called, and my assignment took precedence. I knew what I was getting into.

    Because You're Ugly: Jovovich-Hawk for Target Look Book

    Remember that Jovovich-Hawk GO International line for Target we discussed earlier? Well the official look book has been released. Verdict? I'm not too impressed. Not that it's not cute. And not because I wouldn't wear any of the outfits. Nope. I found the bohemian/folk rock/hippie/granola '60s-in ... More >>

    The Rub's 'History of Hip-hop' Mixtape Series

    Brooklyn trio the Rub have done some insanely thorough curating with their series of yearly rundowns of the best (in their learned opinions) hip-hop tracks. They've strung together dozens of gems for every year from 1979 to 1999 (you can access the MP3 files here). That is some serious dedication an ... More >>

    The Most Blatant Case of False Advertising Since 'The Neverending Story'

    Look, I don't think it's too much to ask for an album called "Dog Tracks: Songs By Dogs" to feature, I dunno—songs by dogs? I was incredibly excited when the album came in the mail today.
