Pop Culture for the Cultured

My Last Transmission

2011-08-28T15:07:00.003-04:00

Excuse me as I stumble through this:

It may come of no surprise to all of you great people who follow this little blog that I havent posted anything in quite a while. The time has come for me to move on and this will be my final post on Pop Culture for the Cultured. It's been a pretty awesome and eye opening 3+ years. I found out that I have the ability to commit to something for an extended period of time with no reward other than personal satisfaction. In many ways this blog started as a goof and in other ways it was therapeutic. Most people dont know that PCFC was started as a means of distraction for myself to get over a terrible break up. Love can be a motherfucker, both good and bad. For some reason people started reading my dumb feelings about popular culture and it became intensely satisfying to share my thoughts and the things I found interesting with people all over the world. So I would like to thank you for your continued reading, following, comments and personal emails over the past few years. Seriously. I hope that this single paragraph can convey how thankful I am for all of you (friends and possible future friends) who took the time out of their day to visit PCFC. Even if it was only once. Even if you stopped by just to disagree with me or make fun of me. Thank you.

So with that, I'll leave you with the wise words of Bill & Ted...Be excellent to each other.

2011-07-31T22:24:00.002-04:00

I'm not Drake's biggest fan but I know a lot of people out there dig what he's doing. His songs really all sound the same. Every one of them. This new track included, but if you dig it download Headlines below. Its the first single from his new album.

The video of this performance became a huge hit and got the masses excited for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy but alas, the track didnt make the cut. While it seems that many forgot that the song was supposed to exist, I held out hope...I once even tweeted Mr. West asking what the hell happened to it (no I didnt get a response). Well finally after almost a year of waiting, the track Mama's Boyfriend has finally been released and it is as good as I hoped it would be. Download it below.
