HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD DO? In which we tell you about awesome things that you must look into and enjoy. LISTEN TO “THRILLING ADVENTURE HOUR” Fuck, there are a lot of podcasts. If everybody stopped producing content now, it would still take you a lifetime to listen to everything even kinda sorta good. [...]
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD DO? In which we tell you about awesome things that you must look into and enjoy CHECK OUT THE BROOKLYN BROTHERS Last Fall I got a chance to check out a movie at USC called “Brooklyn Brothers Beat The Best.” I didn’t really know what it was, but I [...]
COLLATERAL VS. DIE HARD What a perfect matchup. Both slick action thrillers about an ordinary man forced into an extraordinary situation. Michael Mann is the brilliant director at the helm of Collateral and, while it is not as widely renowned as Heat, it could be argued that this is his most personal movie. When [...]
FUCK THAT CALF! In which we slay the things others hold dear. THE BEATLES Yeah, yeah, I know, I’m that fucking guy now. I want to make something clear, though. I am not anti-Beatles out of a desire to be contrary, or to prove that I’m some super-edgy music snob. Some of their stuff is [...]
THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE Best Friend’s Funeral Guilty Cocker Spaniels – Modest Mouse Nobody on the planet knows what this song is about, but there is a strange and euphoric comfort that I receive from this song. When my best friend dies, I will be upset. I will need a comfortable pile of gibberish to [...]

THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE Anger Bang Poison and Wine – The Civil Wars The go-to reaction to ‘what song to pick for a hate fuck’ is something loud, aggresive and punk rock. However, nothing says I hate you like a song that realitically depicts a passive aggressive relationship going even more sour. The music is [...]

THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE THE BITCH/BASTARD LIED TO YOU! Tiny Vessels – Death Cab for Cutie This song is tricky. If that bitch lied (presumably about not fucking someone else), I would like her to know that I haven’t loved her for a really long time. Listening to this song, I think she would get [...]
This song. This god-damn, motherfucking song. If you hang around any karaoke bar for long enough, you will endure some drunk girl clamoring through this monstrosity. It is an ode to ass. Sweet, glorious ass. And every so-called “enlightened” person in the bar will roll their eyes and scoff. At surface level, it’s pretty much [...]
THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE FOR WALLOWING IN SELF-LOATHING I Better Be Quiet Now – Elliott Smith There has never been a song that is more perfect for hating yourself than this song. It is full of a sentiment of things left unsaid, unfortunate things that were said and having to deal with the consequences of [...]
I MISS MY MTV TAKE A WALK – PASSION PIT What if you could see the world throught the eyes of the bounciest ball of all time? What if that world was full of CGI clouds and real footage of city streets? What if that view was accompanied by some rad fucking music? What if [...]
Yeah, I’m going to get Bieber’s back here. Now, before everybody storms my proverbial castle with pitchforks and torches, let me preface this by saying that his music is, to put it delicately, ass-tastic. I haven’t heard much, but what I have heard is failure of the highest, squeakiest order. That said, can we all [...]
DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE In which Keith defends the things the whole world shits on. MICHAEL BAY Poor, poor Mikey. Michael Bay has taken more abuse than Rihanna’s face from all ends of the spectrum. He’s been called simplistic, derivative, racist, sexist, a rapist of childhoods, a harbinger of the death of film. His very name [...]
