I know, right? FINALLY! The wait is over, and here are my 11 favorite albums from LAST YEAR, 2011. Now, this list really isn’t a surprise to me, because these are the albums that I listened to most throughout the year, and they are all stellar. However, for the first time, for me, there was [...]

Meeting Don Cornelius
I was smoking a cigarette, on the back lot at Sony Studios in LA, when Don Cornelius — who died Tuesday from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot — wheeled up in his vintage Mercedes, emerging with two fine young things old enough to be his granddaughters by his side. Still, he pulled it off. Filed under: [...]
Things I don’t understand
The enduring popularity of Steven Tyler. foursquare. I thought I’d receive some sort of tangible reward for check-ins. Don’t think I’ll be changing my business cards to add “Mayor of Taco Mac.” Wolf Blitzer as a TV commentator. It takes him 10 minutes to break news, what with all the stammering and qualifiers. The fascination [...]
Theme song to one of worst movies ever made rewritten to salute overhyped QB
Yes, it’s come to this: John Parr has re-recorded “St. Elmo’s Fire” as “Tim Tebow’s Fire.” When I say “St. Elmo’s Fire” is one of the worst movies ever made I mean it. For me it ranks second to “Very Bad Things” — a close second. Let’s recap: Mare Winningham in a girdle Rob Lowe [...]
What’s the worst song about Atlanta?
Is it the godawful theme song (click to listen) commissioned by the city six years ago or this yacht rock ditty from Jefferson Starship balladeer Marty Balin unearthed by Andisheh? “Atlanta June” by Pablo Cruise, which sounded an awful lot like “Atlanta Jew” to my 8yo ears, deserves an honorable mention.

In retrospect I should have titled this post, “Dude Looks Like an Old Lady.”

2011: my favorite songs
This is kind of a recap of last year’s rules, which still completely apply: 1. No artist may appear more than once (not including collaborations, because honestly, I didn’t even think about that until just this moment, and the damn list is together), otherwise some artists would have literally 10 spots on the list. 2. [...]
sotd: Robyn – Include Me Out
So yeah, I bet you are wondering (that is if people even still read this poorly updated blog, sorry…) right about now… hey, where’s the year end album countdown? Well, I can assure you of something; it IS coming. I haven’t had time to get it done, because frankly, I work all of the time. [...]
The 10 Most Annoying People of 2011: Moves like Jagger, sounds like Christopher Cross
I was going to single out Adam Levine as a triumph of bland, inoffensive pop. Then I heard that “Moves Like Jagger” song and was very offended — and annoyed. Click here for the rest of the still-populating list.

The Malcontent’s artist spotlight
You know that Brian Austin Green is a fantastic actor, but as a rapper his skills are often overlooked.
Not on my watch.
