Movie Science (part 2) Last time we talked about some of the less-than-entertaining aspects of microscopes and space that are abused, falsified or just plain ignored when film-makers get their grubby little hands on them. This time we’ll be discussing faster-than-light travel. It’ll be great, I promise. Faster-Than-Light Travel Theoretically impossible but pretty much [...]
I MISS MY MTV FUN – WE ARE YOUNG It took a while, but I finally caved. I don’t want to like a band that calls themselves Fun because fuck you for naming your band after the coolest thing you can have. But goddamit…they fucking lived up to it. This song is pure fun and [...]

One [...]
I MISS MY MTV 80′S FLASHBACK! DEXY’S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS – COME ON EILEEN Fiddle? Check. Stock footage from the past? Check. Banjo? Check. Overalls? Check. This video was the 80′s in the best and worst way possible. The style, fashion and mentality of this video all make me want to crap barf. However, AND THIS [...]
THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE SASQUATCH HUNTING Gobbledigook – Sigur Ros In addition to being a beautiful song with a strangely driving beat, you get that creepy little ‘la la la’ piercing your brain every now and again. This will serve as a reminder that you are crazy and that all of your friends are crazy. [...]
Allegories and Explosions I suppose since this is the first edition of this series you’re going to want some kind of explanation. Well you can have it! And more!
