There has been an incredible amount of hype over the new duo, Girls. Today, for the first time, I sat down and watched their music video for their single, “Lust for Life,” and I honestly cannot say I’ve been so impressed with a song and video in a very long time. The song is beautiful [...]
Halloween 2009 has finally arrived. Hopefully by now you have some idea of what your costume is, whether it’s balloon boy, Billy Mays, Patrick Swayze, Kanye with a Hennessy bottle, the Geico money stack with eyes, or zombie Michael Jackson (alright, maybe that’s a little too soon).

The idea came to Yorn when, after days of insomnia, he finally got [...]
After ten years of working for fame and fortune, these southern church boys have finally made it. They have thousands of fans around the world, a top ten single for the last six months, and a platinum album. But what could they possibly be missing? That’s right, a live DVD. Kings of Leon is due [...]
You do a lot of questionable things with a few beers in you walking down Boston’s Commonwealth Ave. at 3 a.m. Sometimes you think it’s good idea to down a giant 5-dollar sausage from Che-Chi’s or piss in a public alleyway… I don’t know, sometimes it just makes sense.

Currently on their North American tour, Grizzly Bear made an appearance last night on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.
