Court of the Ginger King: The Appeal of Guitar Hero
Well, this is certainly odd. It seems as if the Ginger King is playing, wait for it, the Devil’s advocate? Just a few weeks ago, our ol’ Ginger bastard ticked off readers by slamming the video game juggernaut, Guitar Hero. Now, he’s digressing on how it’s, well, good? The court’s out on this one. -Michael [...]
Watch: Dinosaur Jr. gets “Over It”
Can Dinosaur Jr. do anything wrong? Probably, but that’s why we love ‘em. They’re fuck ups. They’re slackers. They’re pushing 50. But they’re still relevant in the indie community and when it boils down to it, every 20-something American aspires to be like them. Though given their knock-out of a tour and their highly anticipated [...]
