“Flower” review
[rating stars=5] Beautiful. Stunning. Emotional. There, I wish my review could be done. I am not lazy; it is just that that is the perfect description of the newest game from developer thatgamecompany. Unfortunately, I have a senior editor breathing down my neck, trying to fill content on his page (sorry, Percy), so I will attempt to describe something that shouldn’t be described in detail.
The Blueprint 3 Tour
In “My First Song,” hip-hop megastar Jay-Z starts off the track with two simple questions: “Y’all wanna know why he don’t stop? Y’all wanna know why he don’t flop?” I obviously related the lyrics to the artist himself: Jay-Z has yet to stop, and he has yet to flop. I’ve been an enormous H.O.V.A. fan ever since he first taught me about big pimpin’ in fifth grade.
Quick Hits: Shows this week

Chicago’s own Luster has spent a year writing and recording, and the band now feels it can take its show on the road. The band bought an RV and booked a ton of shows all over the nation, and is coming to St. Louis. Catch them this at 8 [...]
You’re fired! Again?
The third season of “Celebrity Apprentice” premiered last Sunday on NBC, and for some reason, I had high hopes for this season. Not that I’m expecting quality TV or anything, but typically, when you throw B- through D-list celebrities together and make them perform silly tasks, it’s usually interesting.
She’s Out of My League
I remember when Steven Karp was a freshman at UNEC and he lost his virginity to his floormate Lizzie on “Undeclared.” This makes me remember when Lindsay Weir decided to hang with the freaks at William McKinley High School in “Freaks and Geeks.
An Open Letter to Conan O’Brien
I’m sure a lot of other people watched you host “Late Night” and “The Tonight Show.” But I did watch all six episodes of “Andy Barker, P.I.” too, so that has to count for something, right? My favorite episode was the one with the evil chicken cartel.
Pokémon Pickup Lines: The Remix
Is it that time of year again? With the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver this week (and yes, those are the actual names), Cadenza thought it was only fitting that we release another bundle of Pokémon pickup lines. Hopefully, these will tide over every Poké-nut out there until sequels Pokémon SlugYellow and CoalBlack are released.
The day the music died
America is often praised and hated for its pop culture. Regardless of such opinions, it cannot be denied that culturally, America’s reach extends to the farthest regions of the world. American clothes, food, hip-hop, rap, rock and movies are all enjoyed by the world.
‘Beat the Devil’s Tattoo’ | Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
“Beat the Devil’s Tattoo” is an album caught between two impulses. The album opens with a pair of grimy, driving garage rock tracks and a few cuts of heavy punk. But, just when Black Rebel Motorcycle Club gets cookin’, they throw on the brakes with the down-tempo “Sweet Feeling,” which isn’t stripped-down as much as it is simply lackluster.
Another take on reality TV
Andie and Alex gave their opinions on the state of reality television a few weeks ago, but the discussion isn’t over. Their arguments opened something inside of me, something dark and repressed, like the first time I saw “The Proposal.” I thought I should share what I’ve found on the state of reality television.
