Last weekend, my friend Jash and I drove out to Palm Springs for the day to meet up with Sly, who was on Holiday with our college friend Rodrigo. Of course, by the time Jash and I arrived in the desert resort town, Sly and Rodrigo were in the throes of poolside relaxation twenty miles …

American Idol is heading into the final stretch, and more so than ever, the producers are trying to position its contestants as the next biggest star on American radio; so what better way to put your finger on the pulse of today’s youth than by having our wannabees croon to the music of… The Rat …

The gig is up for one more underwhelming performer on American Idol, and I don’t think I’m spoiling anything by saying that the person going home was not Scott. Clearly you already knew that because had the blind one been ejected from the competition, surely banners would be flying and parades marching all through the …
