In Which We Rank The Christmas Songs That Don’t Suck

The Maestro - December 23, 2015December 23, 2015

There's a ton of shitty Christmas music out there. Of course, some might argue that it's in perfect proportion to the amount of shitty music that's out in the rest of the year, but the tricky thing about music for the holiday season is that even if a song is

I felt inspired by yesterday's post by Monty about the absolutely horrific announcing teams we are subjected to each week and so I decided to do a visual essay of the eye-candy the networks stick on the sidelines to get meaningless halftime reports, meaningless injury updates, and meaningless suppositions about what

Last year I started to watch the Sunday games with the sound off, to let The Family put music. My hope was that they would tolerate 10+ hours of NFL on TV. (They didn't, and don't.) Still, I preferred watching games without SUDDENLY SO LOUD commercials, or narratives, tropes, and
