Buying a Halloween costume for a 5-year-old is possibly one of the most difficult tasks a parent will ever undertake. Picking out birthday or Christmas presents pales in comparison. With presents, worst case, you can just let your kid go on a feeding frenzy in a toy store and just buy whichever toys they amass. They go home happy. You go home happy. Halloween costumes are another difficulty

The 11 Best Songs By Ima Robot
Posted on 13:40 by Unknown
In TV, when a show has hit a wall for new ideas, they do something called "jumping the shark" in refernce to Fonzi on Happy Days epic episode about jumping over a tank of sharks on his motorcycle. Most of the times, the producers will have one of the characters gets pregnant because new babies add a plethera of cheesy cliche episodes about stinky diapers. I have two kids. I watch TV to get

The 11 Best Songs By Kings of Leon
Posted on 11:23 by Unknown
Let's just get one thing straight. There are two versions of the Kings of Leon. There's the diry south, grungy unwashed version that delivered the first three albums. Now we have the second incarnation of the band that has gone for a smoother, grander sound in the vein of U2. Most of the fans that have been follwing the band since the Youth and Aha days, curse the new version of the band.

The 11 best Songs By Idlewild
Posted on 13:00 by Unknown
On my October release poll, we had one vote for the new Idlewild. Made me think it was not worth doing a list for the band, since no one was excited to hear the album. Then I thought, maybe the whole reason that no one is excited to hear the new album is because you guys are not familiar with the band. Therefore, here's a catch-up for all those who don't know them. Hope you enjoy the Scottish

The 11 Best Songs By Belle & Sebastian
Posted on 20:59 by Unknown
I never understood how Belle & Sebastian could be happy all the damn time. Is Stuart Murdoch taking some sort of ultradose of SSRIs 24/7? Sure, there are things in life to make you happy...but there are also things that make you sad. I quote the famous poet, Butthead, when he said, "You have to have things that suck, so you know what things are cool." For example, if those miners hadn't been

The 11 Best Songs By Cursive of the 00s
Posted on 14:29 by Unknown
Today, I stopped by a Crown Book liquidation center. I only planned on buying some $1 books for stocking stuffers. Thought I'd walk out of there spending no more than 5 or 6 bucks. Not even close. I did a ton of really good deals. A ton of respectable $1 books...if there is such a thing. But I made one unique discovery. Something I never thought in a hundred years I would find...a CD.

The 11 Best Songs By Travis of the 00s
Posted on 13:52 by Unknown
Have the 90s finally died? Or just waiting to be re-incarnated?
This year has become the year of the solo album. But most of these solo albums are alum from bands who blasted onto the music scene in the 90s. Incubus, Live, Sleater-Kinney, Outkast, Radiohead, and the Wallflowers were all big names in the 90s. They were the trendsetters in the 90s. Now, outside of Radiohead, they have become

The 11 Best Songs By Revenge
Posted on 13:10 by Unknown
I wonder if the music industry is purposely trying to shoot itself in the foot or they're really just the biggest morons this side of the government. It's like they're making a bigger effort to fail than to succeed.
This past week, Soundgarden sold 1 million plus copies of their newest hits compilation, Telephantasm. Only it was packaged with Guitar Hero. Therefore, Billboard disqualified all

The 11 Best Songs By Sleater-Kinney
Posted on 17:24 by Unknown
In last week's LA Times, there was an article on the owner of the Amoeba Record chain. In an eye-opening write-up (eye opening to everyone who thinks they know the music industry but doesn't), it revealed that in this digital age of music...Amoeba records has seen no sales decrease. Let me repeat that...Amoeba Records in the worst era ever for the music industry has seen zero sales decrease.

The 11 Best Chris Cornell Solo Songs
Posted on 16:30 by Unknown
lLast week, I went to the Sonic Youth/Pavement show. There was something comforting about listening to 2 1/2 hours of fuzzy guitars and warped lyrics while pounding an Estrella Damm Inedit (best beer in the world). Then a strange realization hit me. Pavement's been around almost 20 years. While Sonic Youth is pushing 30. These two indie niche bands have surpassed many of their hitmaking
