I’ve got a few kids to buy Christmas gifts for this year and whilst stumbling around looking for something outside the Bratz-Bakugan-Hannah Montana junta I found these Lego Architecture sets and I became insanely jealous. Sure, I had that awesome castle set when I was a young’un, and of course copious space/moon sets (anybody out […]

UPDATE: It seems our favorite animal-dressing Montréalais rockers can’t seem to stay out of trouble — either that or their reputation precedes them.

Everyone’s favorite feisty female Chicago rapper Kid Sister has again delayed her album Dream Date, this time indefinitely.
