One of our favorite daily reading websites is without a doubt Grantland. Founded and helmed by Bill Simmons — author of Now I Can Die In Peace, The Book Of Basketball and a sports writer without equal — Grantland serves as the nexus of where sports collides with pop culture, and explodes in a fireworks [...]

Kids is one of those movies that’s a total anomaly, in that as great and seminal as it is none of the creative forces behind it ever did anything else worth a damn. Sure it gave the world Chloë Sevigny and Rosario Dawson (for which we’re grateful), but the duo behind Kids — director Larry Clark [...]

As part of the consistently gangsta Breaking Gifs project, Vannen Watches and artist/toy designer Tristan Eaton have teamed up to create the first ever time piece of the Breaking Bad-themed campaign. The piece is inspired by the season 3 bottle episode “Fly,” which was almost entirely contained in the methlab. The watch looks exactly like [...]

There’s been a lot of talk lately centering around the Best Shows on TV. And while Mad Men and Breaking Bad get their much due respect (as well as deceased seminal titles like The Wire and Sopranos), I always marvel at how little attention Boardwalk Empire and Game Of Thrones get in the discussion.

Having taken in many of the best documentaries on the legendary British band, we’re always stoked when a new doc, book, comic, biopic, cartoon, porn, fanzine, Tweet, pamphlet or whatever is released. Such is the case with The Rise [...]

We’d be remiss if we didn’t take a moment out to give thanks to Adam Yauch for all he’s given us over the years. There are few bands who I defend as strongly as the Beastie Boys — a group who has not one or two but three albums in the Madman’s Best 100 Albums [...]

I’m pretty sure Madonna wasn’t the first to inflame the Catholics with her rosary imagery and “Like A Prayer” video, but she sure made it mainstream. After Nicki Minaj’s headscratching (and rather uncreative) performance in this week’s Grammy’s, Kate Moss takes a similar roll in what the Catholic League will surely find hilarious. Whether panty-flashing [...]

Romain Gavras and M.I.A. have done it again. Following up their highly controversial “Born Free” video collaboration, the director brings the pop star to Morocco for a video with almost as big a scope as their last. Clearly inspired by world of Arab car hooning, Gavras brings some stunning and beautiful imagery to what I’m [...]
