2014 was a year of lite pop — think tin cans, diamond rings, and police controversy — and I don’t mean that in the diminished or lacking in substance or seriousness sense of the term, I mean it in terms of the beer sense of the term. We had fun gathering up some of our favorite tracks from this year […]

Junkers, jivers, vipers, dope-fiends, hookers, boozers & sinners
It’s Friday, which means we’re all looking forward to the weekend. Thank god for the Vintage Vice mixtape, a 14-track exploration of all the illicit dabblings that we assume old timers didn’t do.

Selena Gomez & Vanessa Hudgens lose their Disney contracts
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 […]

Is the universe trying to tell me something today?
Christian Hosoi sure seems to be exorcising a lot of demons lately, first and foremost with his My Life as a Skateboarder, Junkie, Inmate & Pastor book. I guess he wants all the kids to learn from his past mistakes, which must be the motivation for this latest video he made for Vans, under their […]
