		<title>Lucha Va Voom Is For Lovers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, Valentine’s Day, the day where you are contractually obliged to do SOMETHING with your significant other. Tired of year after year of awkward dinners (remember that year where you ended up sitting across from your ex at Benihana and snorted a little too loud when the chef launched a vegetable down her cleavage?) and looks of stifled disappointment (I said my favorite color was CRIMSON, not SCARLET!), well, throw out the old playbook altogether and show your girl (or guy) that you really care by taking her to see ...]]></description>

		<title>The Best Comic Book Happenings of 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether you’re a purist who keeps your precious comic books in safety deposit boxes or a n00b who just jumped on the bandwagon at Hollywood’s behest (yeah, tell me I’m wrong, girls-who-think-Green-Lantern-has-always-looked-like-Ryan-Reynolds and kids-who-think-Batman-always-sounded-like-Christian-Bale-constipated), you should at least be aware that comic books are cool now. At least, that’s what I’m putting out onto the Internet and as we all know, everything on the Internet is true.
With that said, 2011 was actually a bang-up year for the world of comic books. The San Diego Comic Con has not yet been ...]]></description>

		<title>Give Rey Money, Get Music.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The music industry is filled to the brim with people who have no business being anywhere near music. I honestly think that some label execs don&#8217;t have CDs/tapes/records in their homes. Rey Roldan is the complete opposite. This is a guy who I&#8217;ve sat with and talked with, spitting my complete and utter bullshit at for an hour before we even got to the business-y reason I called him. Which was probably to get into a show for free or something. Free shows are awesome.
Anyways, his pad had recently caught ...]]></description>

		<title>Electric Six &#8211; Heartbeats &amp; Brainwaves &#8211; Album Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Electric Six
Heartbeats &#38; Brainwaves
Metropolis Records
8/10

With Electric Six’s Heartbeats &#38; Brainwaves—the disco-punk-metal’s eighth album in nine years—the Detroit-based sextet may not break any new ground, but therein lays their charm. Arguably the most prolific band in existence right now, singer Dick Valentine and his five cohorts are content to crank out their brand of earnest inanity, and they aren’t all that interested in changing up their formula for broader appeal; one gets the impression their flirtation with the mainstream at the outset of their career was enough for them. They’re something ...]]></description>

		<title>Tom Waits &#8211; Bad As Me &#8211; Album Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tom Waits
Bad As Me
Anti- Records

It would be a misnomer to say Tom Waits is aging like a fine wine. Yeah, he gets better with age and other such platitudes, but likening his continuing evolution to the maturation of a barrel of whiskey is more apt—warm, rich, and full of earthy undertones that leave the imbiber reeling. Bad As Me, his first album of original material since 2004, exemplifies the analogy.
At age 61, the maestro of conjuring melody from junkyard clatter, sideshow soundscapes, and barstool serenades has released his most concise ...]]></description>
