Kid Cudi raps over Vampire Weekend
December 5th, 2009 Chris Courtesy: Pitchfork He’s already collaborated with MGMT and Ratatat and big-upped Band of Horses, so it’s no surprise to find even more evidence that Cleveland upstart rapper Kid Cudi is an indie rock head, on his new track “Cudderisback”. There’s still a pleasant frisson to hearing Cudi rapping over the skeletal intro to “Ottoman”, Vampire […]

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: June 29 – July 1
July 2nd, 2012 Justin Proper Seth MacFarlane proves that a good comedy will always beat out shirtless dudes with Ted, which dominated the box office this weekend. The half animated bear half Marky Mark movie was the highest opening original rated R movie, probably because parents took their kids since, hey, it’s a bear that sounds like Peter Griffin. Magic […]
