It’s pretty safe to say that 2016 is a time most of us would rather forget. A lot has happened in the past year, and it’s become harder and harder to be thankful in the light of the losses, atrocities, and social and political events that have taken place. But not everything was doom and gloom; as one last present to you this Christmas, we’re giving you some of the good things that happened in 2016, and some reasons why you should still remain hopeful, compassionate, and grateful as we wave goodbye to another year. — All Time Low opening… Read more »
Emo Lauren was boxed away with My Chemical Romance posters and Warped Tour T-shirts…until last night.
Contemporary Youth Orchestra members Lauren Hawkes, Jacob Duber, and Aviva Klein have spent hours rehearsing for this day, and as Brendon Urie grabs the microphone, they watch as it all begins to pay off.
I’m glad this movie exists; more movies need to be made addressing mental health issues—even if they’re comedies.
When I was a kid there were two debates: Star Trek or Star Wars? If your answer was “Star Trek” it was immediately followed by a second question: Original or Next Generation (Enterprise)? The Star Trek universe didn’t stop there, though. It meandered with Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and then, finally, a full cinematic reboot was bestowed upon us with the original characters given new life by J.J. Abrams. Which leads us to now… Which leads us to today. The actor who played one of the greatest characters of all time has passed away. Leonard Nimoy, known most commonly as… Read more »

The pre-teens and paparazzi that packed themselves into the Westside Pavilion Mall on Wednesday buzzed excitedly as they awaited a surprise press conference about to take place in Hot Topic.
“As individuals, we’re misfits,” says Fergie, the sultry female singer of the Black Eyed Peas “Together, we’re like one big misfit. People are always questioning who the hell we are.” It is the day after the group’s May 6th performance, on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Chilling out in a small, sparsely furnished room at Center Staging in Burbank, California, she and fellow members of the multiracial group resemble a live version of a United Colors of Benetton ad. Fergie is dressed in black-and-white capri-length leggings set off by a hot pink shirt and a sharp pair of black ankle-strapped heels… Read more »
INDIO, California – Perhaps it was a sign that the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Arcade Fire and Hot Chip were sharing the same bill. Whatever the case, Saturday was certainly one of the most scorching Coachella afternoons ever, with temperatures into the100s for hours on end. That meant the tented stages provided plenty of shadowy solace, while pre-sunset outdoor acts were playing to their diehards and suffering while doing it. (Let’s just say there were multiple hipster rockers quoting Lil Jon’s infamous sweat-dripping lyrics.) Still, Peter Bjorn and John and the Decemberists wore their suits and the Sahara tent was… Read more »
Social Distortion have come a long way since they played what was then the Toronto’s Warehouse seven years ago. In the interim singer Mike Ness recorded two solo albums, original guitarist Dennis Danell passed away and the band released their sixth studio album, Sex, Love And Rock ‘N’ Roll. Now, Social Distortion have come full circle, playing to a near capacity crowd at the Kool Haus. Social D’s audience was filled with aging, tattooed, brill creamed misfits that had assembled for one of the most anticipated shows in some time and the Toronto faithful were ready for a party by… Read more »
