The Inaugural Post

Greetings!

Welcome to my little corner of the interweb. I've laid stake to my little soapbox, and am excited to stop hounding my friends and family with questions about tv, movies, music, and whatever else appears in pop culture. Now only those willing to read my musings here will be subjected to my thoughts on these topics.

Why mainstream independent? My top 5 lists usually consist of items just outside of what is popular, but are not crazy avant garde. There is this sliver of entertainment that fits into the ven diagram's shared space of both mainstream culture and independent culture.

Top 5? First pop culture reference? Indeed (High Fidelity). In case you are interested, here are some of my top 5:

Movies: Garden State, Almost Famous, Funny Girl, Stranger Than Fiction, and The American President
Music: Feist, Joshua Radin, Paul Simon, KT Tunstall, The Weepies
TV (currently on): How I Met Your Mother, The Office, Saturday Night Live, LOST, and Scrubs
*These change constantly, and have a lot of close 6-10th place finishers.

Thanks for visiting, I hope to have a lot of interesting things to share with you.
