Schools are letting out, the days are getting sweatier and soon enough, summer will be coming on strong. For now, let’s embrace the remaining days of a gloomy June with a Goth-y bit of nostalgia from the summer of ’85. These 10 songs (all released between June-September ’85) are sure to strike a chord with
I’m pissed about the way Lifetime and Collins Avenue productions have been treating Abby Lee on “Dance Moms” lately. I’ve been a fan for a long time – I DVR “Dance Moms” and watch it when my husband’s not around because he cannot stand to listen to the moms bitching and sniping at each other.
The reigning king of special effects lacks the clever acting of the original, but triples the action in 3-D IMAX. Director Colin Trevorrow lands on the audience with both feet and eight claws in this thermo-nuclear explosion of dinosaur interactions that go horribly wrong. This is exactly what one would expect, given that mankind seems
Franz Ferdinand and Sparks are collaborating the sounds of early glam rock, synth pop/art rock, and combining it with a newer dance-rock/post-punk revival sound to form the band, FFS. Sparks have been around since the early 70’s and have made a name for themselves in the music industry for their theatrical stage presence, their exquisite

TNT’s ensemble crime show Major Crimes is back for a third season – including all 19 episodes along with fun bonus features.

If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past three decades then you will know that Austin is a bastion for great music, more notably, their punk scene. One of the town’s most exciting export, Institute, have came out with their debut record, “Catharsis”, and it is bleak as f**k. Comprised of ex-members
After first collaborating last November when The Chainsmokers remixed A-Trak’s vocal opus “Push (feat. Andrew Wyatt),” the New York-based beat makers have now reversed production roles with A-Trak, here reworking The Chainsmokers’ “Let You Go (feat. Great Good Fine Ok).” Since catapulting to fame with their viral sensation “#SELFIE” last year, The Chainsmokers quickly became
Take a walk on the wild side with thirty nine scenes that make the complicated trivial. If the objective of art is to make one think, Roy Andersson’s latest trip into the dream world is a thought provoker to be reckoned with. Holger Andersson plays Jonathan and Nils Westblom plays Sam, two traveling salesman hawking
I have always loved the free-form art that is jazz.

When I first heard that there was an experimental jazz group, my interest
