Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Remember when the following fads were cool?
How about Maxim magazine?
Let’s face it. Unless you’re listening to Opie & Anthony or Jim Rome, your radio-listening experience blows. And you get tired of listening to the same songs over and over again on your got dang iPod. I didn’t even touch on how loud music in general (and driving on the freeway with the window down) is killing your hearing. So what alternative are you left with?
Well, the image at the top of the post sorta gave it away.
My best friend and I are responsible for the world’s most entertaining podcast. No, it’s not a music show, or a place where we discuss pressing current events. It’s a show where we yam it up about traveling (to Somalia mostly), growing up in the ’90s, and share harrowing tales of having to go to the bathroom in dire circumstances. The show also features “bits” like Lovetron 2000, Name that Car Horn Tune, and Ask a Doctor (with a real doctor). This is interesting radio.

Jacksonville, Florida’s Black Kids are on something else. A refreshingly different, sparkly sound to their brand of indie rock music is a nice change of scenery from the eternally similar sound of the prototypical Hype Machine artist.
Their debut EP, The Wizard of Ahhhs, got them gigs, and their debut album, Partie Traumatic, got them clout. They’ve been featured on myriad websites and other media outlets thanks to the traditional tireless tour grind of indie rock acts, but frontman Reggie Youngblood recently took some time out to answer some questions, exclusive to theDef.com.
These are some unique times we’re living in. As a people, we seem to like our stock market shitty, our Snickers bars fried, and the celebs we keep tabs on ad nauseum utterly dumb. Movie or television performances hardly play a part into who we care about hearing every day. I’m sorry, Audrina from The Hills, anyone associated with any of VH1’s godawful Flavor of Love-associated reality TV shows, and Tila Tequila, you’re not celebrities.
That being said, it seems like the following beauties aren’t getting daily coverage because they’re smart, simply put. They live their lives as normally as possible—and by that I mean they’re not partying seven nights out of the week. They wear their panties, they’re genuinely bright and funny, and some of them even play World of Warcraft. And unlike Audrina, they all have an upper lip.
Apparently this is what I think superheroes look like.
Beyoncé’s got a new album coming out, and it’s called I Am … Sasha Fierce. Sasha Fierce? I can’t even hate on that, because just yesterday I went on a 10 minute rant about how awesome it would be to have the name Jack Diamond.
Here’s a look at some of the greatest alter-ego names in music.
It’s the world’s oldest profession (are you sick of hearing that too?), and soon, you might not need to make the trek to Nevada or Rhode Island (always learning something new here, aren’t you) to get your fix. This November’s election delivers Proposition K to the denizens of San Francisco. Should prostitution be decriminalized in one of our nation’s biggest and freest cities?
Not quite sure, but it’s worth looking at it from varying perspectives.
