Joanna Newsom Ys Available Now Sometimes harpists should just stick to the strings. Joanna Newsom and her five-track, hour-long album Ys are, well, interesting.

Selling childhoods back to gamers a slimy situation

There's an odd trend afoot in the console world. Apparently, it's become the order of the day to take Flash games off of the Internet, where they can be played for free, and then charge people several dollars to play them on a $600 console.

Vote out the mainstream rap administration

Bill O'Reilly should be the biggest hip-hop fan in the Western Hemisphere. Granted, he has been among the most vocal opponents of the genre, but considering the philosophies conveyed in mainstream hip-hop, right-wingers ought to be knocking G-Unit in their Beamers.

My Chemical Romance The Black Parade Available Now As much as I hate the I-wear-black-because-it-reflects-the-color-of-my-soul type of people, I tend to make an exception for My Chemical Romance. The band's third album, The Black Parade, is a dark, twisted musical journey into the dark and twisted ...
