The Top Five SNL Movies
Tonight I’m going with friends to a special private screening of MacGruber, the latest SNL-related film. As with most Saturday Night Live movies, I’m not expecting Oscar caliber material, but a good time and a few laughs. Lorne Michaels hasn’t commissioned a film based on the sketch comedy of the show in ten years, the last being 2000’s The Ladies Man. In light of my escapades tonight, I’m taking a look at my personal favorite SNL movies from the past. Some you will agree with, some will make you cringe, but all are funny movies that are, at least somewhat, dear to my SNL-loving heart.

Currently Digging: Sleigh Bells
I know at this point I’m not educating anyone about this group, but I’ve been rocking them too much lately for me not to post about them. Above is the cover art for Treats, the debut from Sleigh Bells, a Brooklyn duo consisting of a former hardcore rocker and a (supposedly former) elementary school teacher. Treats drops on May 11 on Mom+Pop and MIA’s N.E.E.T. Recordings.
If you’ve never heard Sleigh Bells, and you’re at work or in a public setting, turn your speakers down NOW. Shit is loud. Basically they record sweet-as-candy singalong pop and record it on in-the-red settings so it’s blaring at a sometimes-unbearable level….on second thought, crank that shit.
All of the songs below will be on the new album.
Sleigh Bells – Crown On The Ground

My 20 Favorite 90’s Cartoon/Kid Show Theme Songs
Ah, YouTube, how I love thee. I’ve spent more time on this list than any other. I love waxing nostalgia, and you will too.
Feel free to tell me what I forgot in the comments. Cartoons have the best theme songs. No joke.
And yes, I know I left out Carmen Sandiego. I hate that song.

Deftones Discography Part 4: Deftones
One of my favorite bands, the Sacramento-based Deftones, are preparing the release of their sixth full-length album, Diamond Eyes, on May 4. In light of this, I am going back, re-listening to, and analyzing their previous albums to gain a perspective of the band’s past while waiting in anticipation of the band’s future.

My Top 100 Songs of 2009 – 70-61
Today I continue my ten-part series showcasing my personal picks for the best songs of last year.
70. Miley Cyrus – Party In the USA
“Seriously?” Yes, dude, seriously. You know why people hate this song? Because Miley sings it. That’s the only reason. Any other reason and you have no soul. Why? Have you listened to this song? It’s fucking awesome. Seriously. And Hannah Montana had nothing to do with its awesomeness. That crunchy bass line? That banging beat? And the melody is pop gold. I mean, it’s not like Miley had anything to do with the songwriting and production – she didn’t. She just sings. And the Auto-Tune makes her sound like sweet, sweet candy. Seriously. So stop pretending like you don’t love this song just because 14-year-old girls do, too. They’re not always wrong. Sponge Bob is still awesome.
For those of you still willing to lie and say you hate this song, and you don’t crank it when no one’s looking, nodding your head like yeah, moving your hips like yeah, let me ask you this: do you even like music? Seriously.

Why South Park Is the Most Important Show On Television
If you’ve been watching/reading, you already know about South Park, my favorite television program. For years, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have creatively pushed the boundaries of free speech, making fun of everything they can. Christians, celebrities, Mormons, Scientologists, Jews, atheists, and countless others have been poked fun at by the Emmy-award winning show. Parker and Stone call themselves “equal opportunity offenders.” They are American heroes.
Why? Well, did you see last night’s episode?
