Tailgate Society Music Review: The Band of Heathens
Generally speaking, if you call something “derivative,” it’s not really a compliment. It’s usually a term used to slight TV, movies, and, yes, music, pointing to the apparent lack of originality.

Tailgate Society Music Review: Angel Olsen
When writing last week’s review of the Traveling Wilburys Volume 1, much of the focus was on Tom Petty, who had just passed away. In the course of thinking about that Wilburys album and beginning to write that piece, my jumping off point was Jenny Lewis, as I noted.

Tailgate Society Music Review: Tom Petty and the Traveling Wilburys
In the coming days and weeks, millions of words will be written in an attempt to eulogize and quantify the enormity of Tom Petty, who died on October 2nd. That is not my goal here. Obviously, I didn’t know Petty, and I’ve never seen him in concert (regrettably). I don’t want to write here what […]

Bachelor in Paradise, Twinning, and the elusive “Love Square”
In case you missed it, you can catch up on all the important happenings that led up to this week’s Bachelor in Paradise in last week’s recap right here. On the penultimate week on Bachelor in Paradise, it (at long last) feels like time for the couples to figure their relationships out and get down […]

Love on the Rocks? Catching Up With Bachelor in Paradise
For those criminally unfamiliar, ABC’s The Bachelor series is the basic reality show equivalent to college football’s signing day. There’s dozens of hungry suitors each willing to sell their souls and reach new depths of depravity in order to lock up the preening prized recruit. I’m not trying to disparage either The Bachelor/Bachelorette or college […]

The best scene in each X-Men film
Take a look at the list of highest grossing movies this century and you may notice a trend. Today the “superhero film” stands as the modern Hollywood standard for go-to blockbuster. It can be argued that the modern superhero film era began with the release of 2000’s X-Men, an adaptation of the seminal Marvel Comics […]
