Goodbye, Lala Brick Road.
Last week I was perturbed to discover one morning that my go-to online cloud music service Lala would officially close its doors on May 31. I had just heard part of B.o.B’s “Airplanes (feat. Hayley Williams)” on the radio during my commute, and it was mandatory that I continue the jam I had started in my car upon my arrival at work. As I signed on to listen to the song for free...

It’s here! Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2010. As always, almost more compelling than the subjects themselves are the writers chosen to praise them. For example, Cyndi Lauper on Lady Gaga, Robert De Niro on Ben Stiller, Bono on Bill Clinton, Shepard Fairey on Banksy, Sarah Palin on Glenn Beck (?) … the list goes on.

Hey, Apple! You may have disguised your new test phone to look like a 3GS. But, after the irresponsible drunk testing it leaves it in a bar, someone will inevitably find it and realize it looks and operates nothing like what we’ve seen and exploit its features on the internet. And let me say, this shit is sexy. Let’s just hope it’s not a decoy and Jobs planned for this to happen...

The latest spin-off of Jersey Shore will take place in Boston. Let’s think about this for a second:
Though the idea actually seems pretty natural, I don’t like it at all, for the sake of my personal pride. Jersey Shore was successful at representing a ludicrous demographic and creating and/or honing an amusing cliche characterization of the typical Jerseyite. And to boot, the state...

Conan to TBS. Exciting? Yes. Would it be better news if he were replacing George Lopez? Of course. Is it acceptable that Conan is at least pushing Lopez back to the midnight slot? Sure. [Deadline Hollywood]

My best bud Dan’s blog is shaping up to be something quite spectacular. His “Baby Hand On A Bamboo Stick” is a great innovative way to increase texting dexterity.

The Gypsy West: Accomplices
“Attention all corporate personnel”: prepare to rise up with The Gypsy West’s powerful sophomore release Accomplices. In their first of an upcoming series of EPs, the trio takes on new musical and thematic territory as they confront hierarchy, freedom, resistance, and love. Backed by bassist Matt Smith, percussionist Steve Beck, and a noble string ensemble, front man (and producer) Alex Giorgetti...

Welcome back, and if you’re just joining us we are sitting here in the press room awaiting an announcement from The Shep on what his plans are for the future.
That’s right, Chip. As you all know he went into hiding just after August of 2009 without any goodbyes or even hints at a return. Now we’re expecting The Shep in just a few moments to touch on some very key points about...

Rude But True: A Letter To Emerson College...
A month ago I was flattered to receive an e-mail from the admissions office at my alma mater asking me to talk about my life post-graduation and how my job in Hollywood came to fruition. Thrilled that I had made it far enough in life to relay my story to prospective students, I replied merrily. But a week later I was conflicted when asked to explain how my education at Emerson College specifically...
15 Status Updates: Yay, Nay, or Okay
Only some people are capable or totally nailing their Twitter/Facebook status updates; most people just aren’t down with the times and either come off as unintelligent or self-indulgent. And once in a while you’ll find an update that is neither great nor horrible, but normal and insignificant nonetheless. Today, I’m putting 15 of my following/friends on the line as I play the...
