LUNCHBOX: Lars Ulrich
By Jim Shearer on 10/07/2008
Filed under: VIDEO BLOGToday, Lars Ulrich of Metallica joins me on Lunchbox. We talk about the band's new album, Death Magnetic, and the tendency for fans to use Metallica's first four albums as a measuring stick for every subsequent release. I met with Lars two weeks ago and had exactly 45 minutes to chat with him. A chunk can be seen below and another chunk can been seen on IFC's Automat tonight. The 45 minutes went by in a flash, and I had about 20 more questions I wanted to ask (bummer). However, I'm sure if I had 2 more hours of interview... MORE »

LUNCHBOX: Let's Give Gabrus Some Viral Love

Filed under: VIDEO BLOGAs a 1/5 contributor to the Lunchbox franchise, I have cranked out my share of episodes, but I believe that this is my favorite of the bunch.

Filed under: VIDEO BLOGToday I did something exhilarating--I traveled to the future! Because I wanted to get a headstart on all of the bloggers across the world, I contacted an old friend at Columbia University who is among the world leaders in time travel technology. Instead of getting a backlog on sports scores (ala Marty McFly) or finding out about the results of the upcoming 2008 presidential election, I just decided to go one week ahead to dole out some birthday wishes, plug an upcoming festival in New York City, and talk about the past (good 'ol 1988).
