Celebrating SNL 's 40th anniversary, live from your coffee table

If you’ve ever so much as turned on a television (even a an old-fashioned boob tube, with dials on it and rabbit ears), you remember Saturday Night Live, the homestead of so many of the greats of contemporary comedy—the iconic sketch show born back in 1975 that has been alive longer than most of the comedic actors […]

Almost as good as a beach packed with bikinis & pina coladas

If by chance you were unlucky enough to be the 99.99999999% of the world that missed Art Department’s set at this New Year’s BPM Festival in sun-drenched Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, we’ve got good news. No, it’s not a time machine that will take you back to a turquoise beach peppered with bikinis and pina […]


A lost nugget from the vaults is unearthed with this full recording of Johnny Cash playing at the Manhattan Center, now known as the Hammerstein Ballroom. This was 1994, which would’ve been way past The Man In Black’s peak — except for the strange circumstance that allowed him to record one of his best selling […]

Louis heads back to TV on April 13, 2013

Interesting that Louis C.K.’s next comedy special will be on HBO, as the last show he did, Live at the Beacon Theater, he produced himself and sold it directly via his own website for $5, which he claims was a way greater financial success. I guess HBO must’ve really laid on the cash thick, like […]
