    Norah Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong Remade a 55-Year-Old Everly Brothers Album

    Green Day’s core fan base, wherever it resides in 2013, might not spend a lot of time with Norah Jones’s catalogue. While I’m generalizing, let’s presume the same for Jones fans regarding ’90s pop-punk acts. But there’s no guesswork when I say that within the Come Away With Me/Dookie Venn diagram, there’s not even an […]

    Visualizing Patterns in MLB Pitching

    As the 0-2 curveball left the fingertips of Jose Veras’s right hand, the Tigers were leading Game 6 of the American League Championship Series 2-1. It was late in the game, and if Shane Victorino struck out, the mood at Fenway Park would have migrated from cautiously optimistic to squanderphobia. Veras and his curveball had […]

    The Triangle All-Stars: Sheed and Pop Are America, and the People’s Dream Team Is Complete

    You didn’t think we’d have coaches? We made fake uniforms for this All-Star team. Of course we have coaches. The coaches are probably the best thing about this entire project. We should all salute that illustration when we roll out of bed every morning. We don’t even have to explain the appeal of these two […]

    YouTube Hall of Fame: Bad Grandpas (and Grandmas)

    The fall 2013 movie season is enamored with space, sure, but it’s also significantly preoccupied with delightfully rambunctious old people. The Jackass crew brings us the prankful Bad Grandpa this Friday, and next week a bunch of revered film actors team up to get handsomely paid and engage in some geriatric naughtiness in Last Vegas.

    Yelp, besides being a nice place to read porny food prose and find mechanics, is a great website if you feel like becoming a paralyzed, paranoid lump. All you wanted was to choose a place from which to purchase your takeout dinner. You sat down and searched for hamburgers in your area, and then you […]

    Great Moments in Goalie Goal-Scoring History

    Phoenix Coyotes goalie Mike Smith joined an exclusive club Saturday when he did this against the Detroit Red Wings: That makes Smith one of just 11 goalies in NHL history to be credited with a goal, and one of just six to do it by actually shooting the puck into the other team’s net. So […]
