We’re a garage band……. It must have been late 1978 in Binley Village when we began to sow the seeds that eventually grew into Riot Act. Me (Stuart Knapper), and my punky mates Archie (Stephen Ball), Wuff (Stuart Waugh), and Carl Plichta had embraced punk rock from day one (the summer of ’76)...
Spider-Man Spin-Off Venom in the Works (IESB.net) Eddie Brock is getting his own film. If there's one thing I don't want to see it's, well, a spin-off of "Spider-Man 3" – undoubtedly 2007's most disappointing movie. Unless, of course, Marvel are planning to ditch Topher Grace and reboot the...

Introduction: Several nights ago I was chatting with my good friend Jeremy about upcoming birthdays and such. Jer mentioned that the love of his life Sassene one day would like a big bright diamond as a gift. It was late as we chatted and I was over worked, but I could see Jer's laughter as I...

Entertainment Weekly recently did a special 1,000th issue. In it, they picked the 100 New classics in Film, Televison and Music. More than one blogger went through the various lists and added their two cents. This is something I wanted to do, so I was inspired by Johnny Bacardi, who in turn was...

I recently (last few monthes) got obsessed with music videos and that particular art medium - I feel that once MTV realized that they would get more ratings with reality TV - they forgot the one reason why they existed in the first place. Without further ado, here are my favorite videos that are...
After weekends in Berlin and London with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, I tagged along with the boys and girls from Quote on their bi-annual skitrip. Upon arrival we got caught in a snowstorm, on a Saturday in April! On Sunday we had to head high above the clouds to catch some rays. This is...
It does not cease to amaze me that the Myspace-dependent batch of teens are stil around. I had my peak of logging-on-every-other-minute-to-see-if-I-had-a-new-comment in 2005, I think, and this ate me up until about July 2007. I think that above everything else, I was a bit frustrated because I had...

Wow. You read. You discussed. You reacted (some more strongly than others -- yes, I'm talking to you Alan). Thanks for all the E-mails. I'm a bit surprised that no one commented on the video. I guess it's "hilarious" in a late 90s viral video kind of way. I guess I'll always be a sucker for bloopers...

Yaaay I forgot how good a month this was. I need to get out of Nebraska, possibly forever so that I can go and have a much happier life in Tokyo. Unfortunately I have no real plans on how to do that currently, so I'll just recap and become lost in the flashback. Enjoy. 1/5/07 This New Year was...
Unfortunately, because of sound output conflicts and such, and because I can't get the words to fit perfectly, much less for a recording, MC Jak ain't bustin' any rhymes. But Cimmy loved this parody of Juvenile's "Back That Thang (Ass) Up" (featuring Manny Fresh and Lil' Wayne), so... here it is,...

"Chojiro fashioned the earth beneath his fingers more than a few times before he was satisfied that the work was finished. The style was so utilitarian, and yet so wondrously beautiful to hold in one's hands. The firing would be next and he would need a lot of wood for that. He looked forward to the...
Back when I bought my tickets to the Nrityagram performance at the Joyce (mentioned in this post from February), I bought a ticket to ABT's pre-professional/studio company's spring recital; I went to the performance Sunday (yay cheap tickets!). It can be exciting to see young dancers perform because...
