Who would have thought house fraus, cackling hens, and other assorted housewives were into Kings of Leon? The most underrated band in America, played on the Today Show Friday. KOL performed “Notion,” “Use Somebody,” and “Sex On Fire.” Meredith Vieira interviewed the boys and said they were the next “U2″ (insulting to both bands) and [...]

Pearl Jam’s Backspacer: Internet Scavenger Hunt

Pearl Jam is doing something quite unique to promote their upcoming ninth studio album, Backspacer. The Seattle grunge band commissioned artist Tom Tomorrow (he’s good but we prefer Yanni Yesterday) to create nine works of art that when assembled form the cover of the band’s forthcoming album (scheduled to drop on September 20th).

Taco Bell Commercial, It’s All About The Roosevelts (Video & Lyrics)

In 1998, Puff Daddy (now called P Diddy) rapped, “It’s All about the Benjamins.” He wasn’t referring to Hebrews, he was referring to $100 bills. Now in 2009, Taco Bell produced a commercial where performers rap about “The Roosevelts.” And yes they are referring to dimes. The commercial mocks a high-budget hip hop video by [...]

Wii Sports Resort Is A Day At The Beach

Wii Sports Resort is the sequel to the very popular Wii Sports. This incarnation comes bundled with, and utilizes, the new Wii Motion Plus. At $50 Wii Sports Resort is worth every penny.

So You Think You Know So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYK SYTYCD)

So You Think You Can Dance is a reality show that airs on the FOX Network. It’s a lot like American Idol but instead of finding the next vapid, fame-obsessed singer the show finds the next vapid, fame-obsessed dancer. Of course you’d expect this show to be similar to American Idol they were both created [...]

USA Network Is Better Than NBC

NBC’s upcoming fall lineup includes a television show based on a 20-year old movie (Parenthood), two hours of reruns (Saturday night features “encores” of Trauma and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit) and a daily “comedy show” from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. (The Jay Leno Show). On top of all that, no one watches [...]

30 Rock Yes, Two And Half Men No: Emmy Noms Contradict Ratings

The Emmy nominations came out recently and they strongly favored shows no one watches. In particular, 30 Rock, which couldn’t pull a good number if it cured cancer, and Flight of Conchords, which about 14 people have seen were both nominated for best comedy series. The most watched comedy, Two and Half Men received no [...]

Travelers Insurance Commercial (The One With The Cute Dog)

Most insurance commercials are fast-forward worthy but there’s a Travelers Insurance commercial, seen frequently during TNT’s broadcast of the the British Open, that’s absolutely a treat to watch. It’s made even better by the fact that only the last four seconds of the one minute advert is devoted to pushing insurance. The spot involves a [...]

Rob Thomas Supports New Album with North American Tour

Why is Rob Thomas known as a great songwriter? Land of Punt isn’t saying he’s a bad songwriter. We’re just unsure why he’s known as a great songwriter. The Songwriters Hall of Fame honored Thomas with its “Starlight Award”—given to songwriters that despite being young have already impacted the music industry. In a L.A. Times [...]
