#TBT: Boise, a quick history
The City of Boise, Idaho is the most isolated metro area in the country, depending on what population criteria is used. The closest population center over 500k is Salt Lake City, UT, which is 339 miles southeast.

The Return of Radiohead: Review of A Moon Shaped Pool
Radiohead is not only my favorite band, but an obsession. It all started in 1993 on my birthday. A year later I would see the Rolling Stones at Jack Trice., but in 1993, my sister bought me a cassette single. It was Radiohead, “Creep”. It had a B Side. It was a song called “Faithless: […]

Britney Spears’ Lifetime movie cast is garbage
It’s common knowledge by now that Britney Spears will be the focus of a 2017 Lifetime movie. However, Britney – or Brit Brit – as I like to call her, is not happy about it. Nor should she, since Natasha Bassett will star as Britney in Britney. You probably have the same reaction I had. […]

Smoke ’em if you got ’em
There are a few things that are expected of you if you hail from Texas. You should have pride for your city and hate your rival city (fuck Dallas, those pompous assholes). You have to know at least one George Straight song, which really isn’t that hard. I mean, I can easily claim that all […]
