Let’s Go See Widespread In Vegas, Shall We?

by Shannon Murfree July 30, 2013

That’s Widespread Mutha’ F*ing Panic to be exact! By far my favorite band to see live, I’ve been going to their shows since 1991 when they would play small clubs on the east coast, mainly for the jam band early adopter, post Grateful Dead, college crowd. If you were to divide my musical tongue into sectors, […]

Ray Donovan Is the Best New Show on TV

by Tony Shea July 28, 2013

As a typical rule of thumb, I’m an HBO man rather than a Showtime one. The look and feel of HBO shows like Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, and True Blood is more to my taste – shinier, funnier, and generally more fun than their counterparts on Showtime, which tend to have an inherent darkness […]

I Love a Man in Uniform

by Mary Kay Holmes May 1, 2013

I have a thing for superheroes. Not comic books or illustrations or that dude in the Spiderman outfit outside Trader Joe’s advertising the sushi joint next door. I’m talking about buff, macho actors in skin tight unitards with broad shoulders and fiberglass molded six packs saving the day. If there’s a montage of a dude […]
