What: The Decemberists With Wye Oak Where: The Greek When: 08/12/2011 If there's one god awful concert tradition that needs to die of a combination of ebola AND bird flu, it's the ridiculous ritual in which the band prematurely ends an excellent set, dishonestly says 'goodnight' and 'thank you' and......

Last Thursday, we wondered if ever there had been a country so awesome at turning itself into an all-purpose adjective as the United States. Probably not, if only because the second we heard about it we'd come up with a resource humanitarian reason to swoop in and put the kibosh......

The problem with being a Conservative, besides the fact that you spend all your time trying to ruin things for everyone else, is that, let's face it, you're really square. You probably have a million sexual hang-ups, you're always 50 years too late to claim credit for any social movements......

Oh, United States Of America. We love you, we really do. Hell, we live here, so we kind of have to. We show our love through the composition of endless tributes to the land, the people and the country itself. Clarification: we do this by shamelessly co-opting the entire continental......

What a weird week it's been for fans of penises and liberal politicians alike. Last Friday, NY Democratic Representative Anthony Wiener's Memorial Day weekend plans were ripped asunder when a weird dickpic was posted to his twitter account. Weiner claimed the unintentionally eponymous photo was the result of his Twitter......

It's Memorial Day Weekend, when we solemnly remember the troops and haha, no I'm just kidding, nobody does that anymore. No, Memorial Day Weekend is when Los Angeles declares that summer is officially on like Chaka Khan. Citywide we get together with friends and family and indulge in the closest......

Who: Calvin Harris (DJ set) Where: The Music Box When: 5/27/2011 (at Midnight) Here's a question for you all: How, exactly, does one review a DJ set? Not a turntablism set, or a mashup set, but literally a guy up on stage, spinning popular songs at an enthusiastic crowd of......

Who: Yelle w/French Horn Rebellion Where: The Music Box When: 5/21/2011 Oh, France. Has there ever been a country so well put-together that even its most hackneyed cliches are charming and sexy? Sure, you have a disturbing tendency to get really up in arms about the civil rights of rapists,......

This one was discovered a while back but just like the still hilarious glammed-out photo from his World Class Wreckin' Cru days, it's still relevant. Dr. Dre wasn't always a multi-jillionaire music industry mastermind. Just like you and us, he was once an adorable wittle kid. The difference? Even as......

We used to like Datarock a lot. Our working theory is that in 2007, while we slept, we were taken over by a hipster succubus that abused cocaine and drank too much Pedialyte--plausible explanation for how our critical functions were deactivated. Fortunately, Datarock have devoted their career to restoring our......
