By: Sam Fleming Macklemore’s newest project, This Unruly Mess I’ve Made, has two extremes; boring apologetic slow jams where he struggles with an internal conflict, and corny, goofy turn-up songs. This album has trouble finding balance between these extremes, which ultimately leads to a cluttered mess. Not many people want to hear a rapper constantly […]

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s music has never really drawn me in. Initially, I admit it was because the public was so strongly against it I didn’t feel the need.

It seems I’ve been more polemical than usual these last few weeks. So how about something completely worthless and asinine–ok, more worthless and asinine than what I usually post here–this Monday? Because, frankly, all I have to say about The Help‘s (and The Smurfs’) continued box office success this weekend is: Effing really‽‽ (God bless the interrobang.) Anyway, in case […]
