If animated shows have any advantage over their live action counterparts, it’s that they aren’t limited by what you can throw in front of the camera (without spending a mountain on visual effects that is). Case and point – “Rick and Morty,” Adult Swim’s latest cult hit, which recently capped its second season and seems to take the limitless possibilities of animation as a dare. It traverses multiple dimensions and exotic alien worlds, rendering the most bizarre visuals it can muster on a weekly basis. Yet for all the imaginationRead More

Last week was Thanksgiving. In addition to all of the things I’m usually thankful for around this time of year – my family, my friends, my health, and so forth – I was uniquely thankful for my friends at Mercedes-Benz this holiday season. That’s because for one special week this Thanksgiving, Mercedes-Benz was nice enough to grant me the incredible privilege of driving a Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic home for the holidays. Driving this incredible luxury car was truly a life-changing experience. I’ve always loved luxury vehicles – I mean, whoRead More

-Alexa Vega- Instagram: vegaalexa Twitter: @alexavega Known for: Starring in the Spy Kids series as a kid, which probably made her one of your teenage crushes. – Alexa Vega. The name sounds familiar because when you were in middle school, you totally thought she was awesome and hot and the coolest girl in the world. That’s because she starred in Spy Kids way back in 2001, and of course, she also appeared in the sequels to the original film. Time has been great for Alexa Vega, though. As we’ve all grown up, so hasRead More

“Excuse me, sir. Do you have a minute to talk about rock and roll?” The question comes somewhat meekly during a break in an otherwise vicious wall of sound. Wearing a sharktoothed sundress, Rebecca Bortman looks more Alice in Wonderland than garage rock heroine. Nevertheless, she and her monochrome bandmates that make up lo-fi outfit Happy Fangs serve up the good word of rock and roll with a feverish bite. The night is still young at the Silverlake Lounge in Los Angeles. At 9PM on a Tuesday, I’m usually plopped onRead More

-Rachel DeMita- Instagram: rademita Twitter: @RADeMita Known for: Being the voice of NBA 2K; being more knowledgeable about basketball than you. – If you’ve ever played NBA 2K16, the latest installment in 2K Sports bestselling NBA franchise, chances are you’ve noticed the gorgeous girl that is featured on “2KTV.” Her name is Rachel DeMita, and Rachel is probably most guys’ version of the perfect woman – she’s beautiful, she’s smart, and she knows her sports. Rachel is a former college basketball player – she played at Old Dominion – and current basketball analyst. While sheRead More

  I’m a huge fan of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In my opinion, it’s the funniest show on television, and there ain’t a close second. Watching the escapades of a group of sociopaths who run a bar – a motley crew known as “the Gang” – provides a dark sort of comedy that stands out from most laugh-tracked garbage that cable channels try to pass off as humor. It’s no coincidence that in watching the last few weeks of turmoil unfold at the University of Missouri and Yale University, I’m remindedRead More

It’s 10:30 p.m. on a Saturday and I’m standing backstage at the National Western Complex in Denver. I look down at my tennis shoes then readjust the horn on my head, wondering how the LED will look when I turn it on later. Let me explain… I’m about to interview one of the biggest names in EDM and I’m dressed as, you guessed it, a unicorn. Did I forget to mention it’s Halloween? No matter the holiday, I look a little ridiculous, but I’m trying not to let that distract meRead More

  This weekend marked yet another windfall for one of cinema’s most iconic characters. Falling just short of Skyfall‘s record-breaking $88.3 million debut, Spectre came on its heels at a healthy $70 million, etching another notch in James Bond’s recent winning streak. Let’s face it, the world loves to watch Britain’s most famous spy traverse exotic locales, drink martinis, thwart cartoonish villains and bed beautiful women, all while decked out in the sleekest suits money can buy. Bond is a cultural phenomenon that, while birthed in Ian Flemming’s books, belongsRead More

JP and Sam of Cash Cash stand up and immediately Dave of Tritonal sits down. Let me refresh your memory- I’m in the “green room” (nook under the stairs) of the Bluebird Theater in Denver just before seeing Tritonal and Cash Cash play back to back on the Colorado leg of their “Untouchable” tour. Having finished up chatting with Cash Cash, it’s time for me to talk to Tritonal. It’s my first attempt at consecutive interviews and I’m hoping I can keep my composure as well as my questions interesting. MadeRead More

-Iskra Lawrence- Instagram: iamiskra Twitter: @iskralawrence Known for: Being a gorgeous model, duh. – Iskra Lawrence is our WCW this week, as we return to one of our favorite professions to choose from – modeling. Iskra Lawrence is just as unforgettable as her incredibly unique name, and you should get to know her better. This babe hails from Worcestershire, England, and at 25 years old, is an up-and-coming star in the industry. Iskra is considered a plus-size model in the industry, which is apparently just code for “dat booty.” Because, well, dat booty. Take aRead More

The green room at the Bluebird Theater in Denver is not so much a room as it is a little nook under the stairs that lead down from the stage. There’s a small couch wedged directly under the stairs and a few chairs, but little room to move when you add in two DJ groups, their crew and tour manager. So when I sit down on the edge of the couch to speak with Cash Cash’s JP Mahklouf and Sam Frisch, I’m maybe, at most, four feet from either ofRead More

The throng inside Anaheim’s famed House of Blues presses toward the stage in silent, rapt attention. In the heart of Downtown Disney with all its lights, glamor and themed uniformity, one doesn’t expect to witness the raw expression and stripped-down performance of the act currently in residence. Keith Goodwin and Dan Schwartz of Philly folk trio Good Old War — armed with only an acoustic guitar and their searing vocal harmonies — hold the crowd in the palm of their hand. “When you play this way, the songs have to beRead More

My first live experience with W&W was at Decadence in Denver almost a year ago. I remember being at the set and being astounded by how high energy it was, how much the two interacted with the crowd, how into the music they seemed to be, among other things. But mostly I was struck by how they did all these things so seamlessly. Now, even after 10ish months, I can still feel the energy of that performance. So, when I found out W&W would be playing Denver’s legendary nightclub, “TheRead More

-Helena Mattsson- Instagram: helena_mattsson Twitter: @helenamattsson Known for: Guest starring in shows such as CSI, Desperate Housewives, and more recently, American Horror Story: Hotel. – If you’ve checked out the latest season of the American Horror Story franchise, then you may have noticed something taking away from the horror in the first two episodes – or, rather, someone. Helena Mattsson is the name of the beautiful blonde who meets her unfortunate end in the early going of American Horror Story: Hotel, and it’s a shame, as I think we all would like to see aRead More

I want to lie on the grass. I need to be connected to something that isn’t people buzzing, or the untangling of old loves in written form, both analytical and emotional — twenty-three pages long. To something that isn’t death, or tension, or burdens that don’t belong to me, but that I’ll carry strong and true. Is this how Holden felt? Is this how a mental break begins? One moment you’re in a museum and the next you must lie on the grass. (No matter if 6,787.5 dogs have urinatedRead More
