VMA Nomination Surprises
Posted by Felipe Diaz-Vera - Wednesday, August 04, 2010 10:38pm



When you think about last year's MTV Video Music Awards, you most likely would think of either the infamous Taylor Swift/Kanye West moment or Lady Gaga's blood-filled performance. But who took home the awards? Besides the aforementioned Swift and Gaga, the big winners included Eminem, Britney Spears, Green Day and Beyonce. So when the nominees for the 2010 VMAs came out I ignored it, not even looking at the list, expecting similar names to come up. However, when I did take a look, it shocked me. While Gaga, Beyonce, Eminem and expected newcomers like Justin Bieber and Ke$ha made the list, so did a lot of well respected and non-mainstream artists. These nominations both pleased and surprised me. I decided to break down some of these nominations, looking at who they are and how likely they are to win.

The Top 5: Cartoon Musical Episodes
Posted by Felipe Diaz-Vera - Friday, July 02, 2010 5:34pm



Thanks in part to taking "Theater Appreciation" at my college, I've gotten into musicals again. I enjoy myself a good musical. Songs from "Chicago", "The Producers", and yes....even"Cats" have been on my mind as of late. However, when I thought of musicals, it carried over to musical episodes of TV shows. I know a lot of shows have done it. So I wanted to do a Top 5 of my favorite musical episodes of TV shows. However, I quickly realized that other than the amazing "Scrubs" musical episode, and the infamous "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" episode, the rest of my list was animated shows. I felt originally that having three cartoons on my list would have been a bit much, since I have talked about cartoons to death on the blog. But I couldn't find anything else that compared. What else could I possibly put there, the X-Play musical? Even the Buffy episode would have been on my list out of respect only reasons since I never watched Buffy growing up.

So since I had an influx of cartoon musical episodes, I decided, why not go that route? So here are my "Top 5 Cartoon Musical Episodes"!

NBA Free Agency 2010
Posted by Skatz - Wednesday, June 30, 2010 10:30pm


Like the great philosopher known as the Joker once said: "And here...we...go."

For most of the country, the Summer began in the third week of June; for me, July 1st is when Summer officially begins, because that's when Free Agency begins and franchises truly start to build their teams for the next few seasons.

Many of you may wonder why I haven't made any predictions about what I think will happen. First off, who hasn't done that, and it is rather moot since (secondly) the status of who's staying is in a constant state of flux: If I had posted an article two days ago, I'd be editing it now to account for Paul Pierce and Dirk Nowitzki.

Therefore, I'm keeping up a tradition that actually dates back to my first blog post with this site: Instant transaction analysis.

Whenever I hear about a move, I will comment on it in this blog, editing it as often as I can.

In case I'm not at my computer to post my thoughts, or you want something that can be more immediate and truncated...and make me feel wanted...you can follow me on Twitter.

Players cannot officially sign with teams until July 8th, and what we'll likely hear about until then are which players are re-signing with current teams. However, 9/10 unrestricted free agents make it very clear which team he will sign with by the official signing date. Thus, when reports confirm a signing save for the John Hancock, I'll write about it.

Let the chaos begin.





* None of you *



Until next time...

** Godspeed **

The Top 5: Final Boss/Stage Themes
Posted by Felipe Diaz-Vera - Friday, June 25, 2010 4:44pm



Ah, the final level. No matter how long you've been playing you are familiar with this situation. There is just one thing between you and the end of the game. And standing in your way is one more opponent. One more jump. One more song. And no, when I say one more song, I do not mean facing Lou in Guitar Hero 3 (although that cover of “Devil Went Down to Georgia” is awesome in it's own right). Whether it is playing Megaman 2 and hearing the music as you enter Dr. Wily's fortress, or when you are going against the Master Hand and Crazy Hand in Final Destination of Brawl. No matter what the circumstance, the final music is just as important as the final battle on it's own. There are many great choices, and everyone has their favorites. However, these are my favorite final boss/stage songs.

Monae's Neon Gumbo
Posted by Felipe Diaz-Vera - Saturday, June 05, 2010 3:26am



This is Janelle Monae. You may have already heard of her, whether it be from the cult success of "Many Moons" in 2008, or the sudden mainstream exposure regarding her song "Tightrope", which she has been performing everywhere from Letterman to Carson to Ellen. Over the past few months, there has been a lot of word of mouth hype surrounding Janelle Monae. How she is supposed to bring about the re-birth of true music. How she may become one of the most influential artist of this decade. That is a lot of hype for one girl from Kansas City. And in all actuality, I believe she deserves it. However because of all the word of mouth and expectations, her success or failure may determine where the music industry may go for the rest of the decade.

Warped Summer
Posted by Felipe Diaz-Vera - Friday, May 28, 2010 11:44am

Can you feel it? It's almost Summer time. For many people it means many things. Warm weather, no school, going to the beach, grilling, or whatever you do for those three months. But for me, Summer means one thing.


It's time for Warped Tour!
