May your weekend be every bit as stony and lazy as is this is.

This morning on The 10! Show (which comes on at 11, but don’t hate), Justin Pizzi visited a farm in the suburbs where you can grow your very own microphone-eating baby on your chest. It was great fun, but we never found out whether or not Pizzi gets to keep the baby or not. It [...]

On Wednesday, the one and only Jeff Bridges visited The Barnes Foundation.

The totally un-Google-able band Nothing are like Juniata’s grown-ass street urchin answer to the golden age of shoegaze that contained groups such as Ride and Slowdive who, if you must know, we never really stopped listening to in the first place. And they’re kind of great. The Kenzo-riffic clip above is for the lead track [...]

We told you about it last week, but tonight is the night. And really, on a hot day like today, is there any better way to cap it off than an old-school house party jam? We don’t think so. “DETONATION TECHNICS: A History of Hip-Hop” is the first in a series of monthly, guest MC’d [...]

This week in Arrow Swim Club news: Inky coverage and the complaints are already starting.

We’ve made our feelings about the Eagles clear in the past, and while the possible Plaxico Burress signing is fated to be only rumors until the lockout ends (which could be as late as October), we would like to present our thoughts.
