As pop music has shown time and again, the public is willing to forgive artists for being jerks as long as they continue to make good music—look at Kanye West! I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Chris Brown’s new album F.A.M.E. is good, but it’s sold a lot, went to #1 on the charts and has had...

Before we talk about the new Foo Fighters album Wasting Light, let’s have a history lesson. For a while, it seemed that the Foos were turning into a country/folk-rock band.

Michael Anderson

March 17, 2011

    This is the question that many Verizon customers were asking on March 3rd, when the phone company went black. For quite some time (nearly an hour and a half, in my case), cellular service was lost and data plans (in some cases, phone service entirely) did not work.
