I think it’s safe to say, “Holy shit!” In the two weeks since the last of these columns, our lives have changed beyond recognition, perhaps for the foreseeable future. Things that we took for granted, like going to the store, now take careful planning. Going to a concert, bar, or club is cancelled, for very real reasons. People are getting sick, people are dying. For Christ’s sake, stay in your homes. Wash your hands. Clean everything. Stay away from other people. Let’s try to make this thing go away as quickly as possible. Don’t be one of those idiots on… Read more »

Photo via Facebook Got plans this weekend? Cancel ’em. You’re going to be hanging out with Mayday Parade on idobi Radio instead. “It Is What It Is” and in this case it’s really good. The band will be hosting a Release Day Listening Party for their first self released single called (you guessed it) “It Is What It Is”. They’ll take over idobi airwaves on Friday at 7pm ET to spin some music, chat about the song, and maybe even share a surprise or two. Set your alarms, mark your calendar, and tell all your friends (even the ones with… Read more »

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A FREAKING DRILL. The Formatareback. Are you kidding me!? Let’s goooo! Okay, so I posted a few weeks ago that there was some unusual activity regarding The Format—and people began doing investigative work because that’s what the Internet does. People found that they unfollowed everyone except Nate and Sam, then Nate deleted all of his Instagram photos. Then they announced new merch (Of which I bought one of each, including 2 of the 2007 Tour Posters because obviously I would.) And now, yes. Announced last night at their Live at… Read more »
A lot can change in ten years: personalities, tastes, relationships. For Mayday Parade the last ten years have been a chance to grow as a band, explore new ways to entertain, and to connect with their fans. Which is why—almost exactly a decade after seeing them live for the first time—I’m sitting on a tour bus in Chicago, chatting with frontman Derek Sanders. We’re at the back of the bus. On one side of Sanders, guitarist Brooks Betts is fiddling around on a laptop, on the other, bassist Jeremy Lenzo pre-signs a stack of Sunnyland CDs. The window is cracked… Read more »

Guest review by Nell Minow Grade: C In 2007 a female astronaut, furiously jealous because the male astronaut she was sleeping with was also sleeping with someone else, drove from Texas to Florida with the intention of attacking the other woman. Lucy in the Sky tells us it is inspired by a true story, and while it draws some of its details from what really happened, there is very little inspiration evident on screen. Natalie Portman plays Lucy Cola, who has made up for the chaos and dysfunction of her family by being competitive and ultra-capable. Her mother drank, her father… Read more »
