Let's Watch Some Political Music Videos...
By Jim Shearer on 10/15/2008
Filed under: LISTS, VIDEO BLOGWhat better way to gear up for the big presidential election happening in just a few weeks, than by watching some politically charged music videos? Well, come to think of it, there are many better ways to gear up for an election (register to vote, educate yourself on the issues, persuade your lazy friends to get out to the polls, etc.).

TALK: Donnie Iris
By Jim Shearer on 05/27/2008
Filed under: TALKIt's a well-known fact that people from Pittsburgh love telling people they're from Pittsburgh (I know, cause I've done it myself).

I don't know what the hell I'm talking about--let's just get to the... MORE »
Anti-Flag Play Free NYC Show Tonight!
By Jim Shearer on 03/26/2008
Tonight at the Knitting Factory in New York City, Anti-Flag will be playing a "secret" myspace show. Tonight's "secret" concert listing is all over the internet--including the homepages of Anti-Flag, myspace, and the Knitting Factory. Um, okay, so it's not that great of a secret, BUT the show is free to the public (first come, first serve). The Knitting Factory, is pretty tiny, so make sure you get there early. (left: I'm guessing Anti-Flag's not going to be able to use this huge backdrop for tonight's show in the small confines of the Knitting Factory) In related Anti-Flag news,... MORE »
