Mmmm mmm the chili festival on The Commons is tomorrow! Despite having lived in Ithaca for almost six years, I have yet to attend this staple winter event. I know, I know. But I’ve been on a huge chili kick lately (vegetable & three bean, if you must know) and this seems like a great […]

Okay, so I know that I said Valentine’s Day is a lame holiday or whatever, but the sentimental side of me is slowly taking control, and I can’t resist the temptation of posting one of my Ultimate Guilty Pleasures: the Melancholy Coldplay Song. You know you love it! Happy Valentine’s everyone!!!!

Does winter have you down? Are you sick of Grey’s reruns? Then check out “The Whitest Kids U’ Know,” a funny yet considerably awkward sketch comedy show written, acted and directed by five college-age guys. You’ll either love it or hate it, but the more you watch it, the funnier it gets. The Independent Film […]

 
Annoying, generic actress Hayden Panettiere is to star in a movie titled Daydream Nation, an “intellectual teenage comedy” along the lines of Juno or Election. Exqueeeeeeze me? Do we REALLY need more cutesy, crappy movies like this? What, are they going to play “Kissability” during a climatic scene? This really leaves me with an […]

Just a friendly reminder that Chinese New Year falls upon Feb. 7 this year, so it’s coming right up! Even better, 2008 is MY year — year of the rat. I am already anticipating great things, I can feel it. This article I found in the AP completely appealed to both the little kid and […]

—A nice interview with DIY club promoter Todd P over at Gothamist. He’s taking a hiatus for a while, which is a shame — who else is going to book shows like these?
—Speaking of Todd P, there’s a killer show at the Silent Barn in Brooklyn tomorrow night: GHQ, Eskimo King, The Skaters, Ducktales, Workbench […]

…when you get presents like these! Click on album art to buy them yourself.

Okay, so I haven’t listened yet, but, omg, what happened? Is the cover art for the new Pinback album Autumn of the Seraphs a joke?? All I can think of is that it’s a more “grown-up” version of the art that graces AFI’s pseudo-goth-punk album The Art of Drowning!! The cover artist, Mike […]

Despite creating a MySpace account almost a year ago, we never really got that into it. However, we are now re-entering MySpace-world with renewed vigor and purpose. So, please check out Popcorn Youth’s new and improved MySpace. While you’re at it, friend us at our brand-new Ithaca Times page, too. You know you want to!

Yesterday was a good day. So I’m going to celebrate and indulge myself with this link which made me smile and laugh. This is courtesy of one of the best websites ever. I am infatuated with pandas. When I saw this yesterday, I thought my head was going to explode. Thanks ChinaDaily!

Happy Thursday everyone, and […]
