Not your average marching band: MarchFourth’s new song “Shindig” gives us a taste of upcoming tour

Woah. Okay. It’s not everyday you come across an amazing band that’s over five members that isn’t like, pressing a button on their MacBook or trying way too hard to be cool. So I’m excited to direct you towards MarchFourth Marching Band (M4), a 20-or-so-person 

Toying around with VSCOcam: the photo app that’ll have you addicted

Toying around with VSCOcam: the photo app that’ll have you addicted

First using VSCOcam (VSCO = Visual Supply Company) I was pretty much a newbie when it came to even just importing a photograph, but after a few tries I began to master the art of using the app’s many-a-features that alter your pics in a completely 

Why Paris might actually be the best city ever

Why Paris might actually be the best city ever

1. Adorable boys with cute hats are always hanging out 2. It’s just a train ride away from Versailles 3. Wine is really cheap. Like, reallllly cheap. 4. There is cheese every five seconds (also really cheap) 5. Capoeira dancers are always performing crazy dance

The Abstract and the Dragon: Q-Tip and Busta still got it

Remember Beats Rhymes & Life when Q-Tip promised he’d still be making music despite whatever happened to the Tribe? Well, here’s some of that new music. In collaboration with a longtime favorite Busta Rhymes, it turns out they still got it. Two new tracks include “Thank 

The thing about Instagram’s new DM feature

The thing about Instagram’s new DM feature

I guess you could call me an “old school” Instagrammer because I could give a sh*t about videos or ads or their recent partnering with Facebook; I just want Instagram for what it is: an app to share beautiful and funny photos (enhanced with the 

A <i>Rosemary’s Baby</i>…miniseries?

A Rosemary’s Baby…miniseries?

“Awful things happen in every apartment house” At first it seemed weird, Rosemary’s Baby: a miniseries? It just didn’t feel right. Because lately it feels like Hollywood is desperately running out of really good ideas that they’ve just come to a point where nothing is 100%

American Hustle: David O. Russell’s latest about startin’ from the feet up

“Some of this actually happened” Where do you even begin with American Hustle? The movie from Silver Lining Playbook and The Fighter‘s David O. Russell is a lot of fun, but really? Really Bradley Cooper? Imagine Bradley Cooper not having an intense role where he’s like, going on some rant for five 

<i>Rick and Morty</i> is the most disturbing and awesome cartoon on TV right now

Rick and Morty is the most disturbing and awesome cartoon on TV right now

Alexander Payne’s <i>Nebraska</i> is a fun ride, the world needs more black and white movies with Will Burke

Alexander Payne’s Nebraska is a fun ride, the world needs more black and white movies with Will Burke

“One million dollars. Can ya beat that?” When first seeing the preview for Nebraska I was intrigued not only by its monochromatic appeal in 2013 (the only other black and white movie I can think of that came out this year is Escape from Tomorrow), but

Scary Stories to become a scary reality in new movie concept based on Alvin Schwartz trilogy

“You could say that these stories/ could not happen./ Yet some say they did happen.” When I was a kid Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories was a pretty regular thing in the household among my brother and I. Most times we were just joking around about the
