It’s been quite a while since I’ve liked a new show on Fox. For that, I’d have to go back to the last years of “That ‘70s Show.” I’m always hesitant with Fox shows, but when the promos for “Empire” began airing, I knew this was going to be a […]

This year’s Super Bowl halftime performance was Katy Perry and, though I was skeptical about how well she would live up to past performances, she did extremely well. Atop a giant tiger, Perry opened up with her hit “Roar.” She was wearing an outfit that seemed to be a mix […]

ldquo;STN MTN” is the mixtape portion of Childish Gambino’s “STN MTN/Kauai” dual release. It’s a notable departure from his previous styles.
