A covers band set-list full of tracks by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand might sound a terrifying proposition in and of itself, but for staff on South West Trains it threatened something rather more terminal than a ropey rendition of 'Mr. Brightside.' Tom Shaw was asked to leave a rail service at Fareham, Hampshire recently after onboard staff spotted the 25-year-old musician jotting down song titles -- including 'All the Things I've Done' by "Killers" and Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out' -- for possible ]]>Thu, 18 Mar 2010 8:01:00http://t.love.com/310218765Thu, 18 Mar 2010 6:51:00http://t.love.com/310119014Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:35:00http://t.love.com/310046261

The boys are back, and we can't wait to see what shenanigans Cartman and pals will be up to, i.e. what topics series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone will decide to tackle/poke fun at, in the new season. One thing we know for sure: season 14 will include the show's 200th episode on April 14, and Parker and Stone have promised that the anniversary installment will be their version of a clip show, with a reunion of the people, places and things they've had the most fun spoofing.

Sci-Fi Squad and Cinematical scribe John Gholson picked Michael Crichton's Runaway for their latest discussion, one that just so happens to star the king of the moustache himself, Tom Selleck. The 1984 flick follows Selleck as he "handles robotic mishaps in the near-future, and uncovers a plot involving microchips that cause robots to go berserk." I, meanwhile, dug into the Russian Roulette horror that is The Deer Hunter for Cinematical's Movie Club . ]]>Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:18:00http://t.love.com/309667222
Take a walk around the grounds of The Grand Del Mar and you might think you've stepped through a wormhole to a 16 th Century Mediterranean villa.

The premiere was more style over substance, which is one of the major problems critics had with it, but it did offer some stunning visuals and established an atmosphere very different than 'Band of Brothers.' As a companion piece of sorts to the modern classic 'Brothers,' brought to us by the same production team including Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg , expectations were pretty high for 'The Pacific' coming out of the gate. If it underperformed per HBO's expectations, making that entire first episode ]]>Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:09:00http://t.love.com/309624249

So Arthur Frobisher is back, trying to rebuild his image with the wholesome message of wind power. He seems a little out of place to me, though. Like they stuck him in there just to bring him back, but he doesn't really fit into the big picture here. ]]>Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:23:00http://t.love.com/309530292Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:16:00http://t.love.com/309522414

Rolling Stone named Freedy Johnston their 1994 songwriter of the year following the release of his major label debut 'This Perfect World.' Oddly enough, it was that very same publication, along with a radio station that came in only on clear nights, that fed Freedy's small-town childhood dreams of one day being a musician. Eventually Johnston bought a guitar through mail order, moved to a bigger college town, caught up on popular music, and started writing his own songs. ]]>Tue, 16 Mar 2010 11:40:00http://t.love.com/276385799Wed, 2 Dec 2009 5:40:00http://t.love.com/275527728Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:02:00http://t.love.com/267748765Thu, 5 Nov 2009 4:46:00http://t.love.com/267363177Wed, 4 Nov 2009 4:44:00http://t.love.com/265880899Fri, 30 Oct 2009 5:44:00http://t.love.com/265866367Fri, 30 Oct 2009 4:44:00http://t.love.com/263569738Fri, 23 Oct 2009 4:37:00http://t.love.com/262046322Mon, 19 Oct 2009 4:06:00http://t.love.com/260918290Thu, 15 Oct 2009 4:10:00
