The Brotherly Aesthetics of DCB and SxMx

by Greg W. Locke July 12, 2011

It recently struck us that two of our all-time favorite musicians/songwriters/singers/apathetic intellectual sports fans, Stephen Malkmus (Pavement, Silver Jews) and David Berman (Silver Jews, “Actual Air”), seemingly have quite fine – if somewhat different – taste in all things creative. Particularly, they both have excellent album titles and album covers. And, ya know, lyrics and [...]

Ryan Gosling and Our 20 Favorite Studs

by Greg W. Locke June 12, 2011

A little over a week ago we presented you with a three-parter that was ostensibly a detailed list of our 30 Biggest Crushes on Famous Women. Something like that. No one complained too much and, as we’d hoped would happen, we found some new readers. At dinner the other evening, during conversation, I was challenged [...]

Our Top 30 Talented Beauties of 2011, Pt. 1

by Greg W. Locke June 1, 2011

For starters, it must be said that I feel very weird about this. Very weird. The idea dates back five or six years, when my then – and still – girlfriend told me to make a list of my celebrity crushes – ranked, natch. Innocent fun while having some drinks and hanging out, that’s all. [...]

The Nas Discography

by Greg W. Locke May 23, 2011

Back in 1995, at age 15, I fell in love with Nas’ debut record, Illmatic, which was released a year earlier, in 1994. I’d been a hip-hop junkie since age 11, to the point where I’d read every hip-hop magazine I could get my hands on (that’s what we did in 1995 for research). So, [...]

More than anything else, this was the decade of indie labels and indie bands. As the record industry crumbled the indie labels thrived. Artist of the decade? Tough one. Radiohead, [...]
