Music Genres That Are Great Driving Soundtracks
There's something about cruising in the summertime that just makes you feel alive - even if you're just commuting to work. The right car can make any journey good, but if you really want to get the best that driving has to offer, you're going to need the right soundtrack for your roadtrip.

How to Be a Journalist, According to Unrealistic Rom-Coms and Chick Flicks
I think we all can agree that writing, whether it’s as a novelist, a journalist or a blogger (or professional live tweeter...is that a real job yet?), is the sexiest profession out there. Just kidding, I think olympic swimmer takes the cake there.

Cedar Rapids Review
Title: Cedar RapidsMPAA Rating: RDirector: Miguel ArtetaStarring: Ed Helms, John C. ReillyRuntime: 1 hour 26 minutes Tim Lippe (Helms) works for Brownstar Insurance. The company’s biggest hitter, Roger Lemke (Tom Lennon) has brought home the coveted, “Two Diamonds” award 4 years running. The “Two Diamonds” award is an award that is given to the insurance company who exemplifies excellence and a “Christian” type atmosphere. It is given every year at a regional conference in Cedar Rapids, IA. It is found out that Roger has died, due to an “accident” and Lippe is being sent to replace him, in hopes that he can take home the award for the fifth year. But before he goes, he is given Roger’s list of people to stay away from, and people who would be good to hang out with. On the list, is Ronald Wilkes (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.), who we find out is his roommate. The one person he has to stay away from? Dean Ziegler (Reilly), his other roommate. Tim must now find a way to bring home the “Two Diamonds” by being as good as Roger, and not get distracted by Joan Ostrowski-Fox (Anne Heche).

The Terrifying Optimism of Villains
The article originally appeared on Scum Hive. It began with Vader, 1977. I am there gawking, slack-jawed, at his shiny 6’8” robot/spaceman suit stretched over a 50’ drive-in theater screen. Little me and massive whatever-the-hell-he-is are bonding, alone on a multi-acre plot under the Oklahoma stars. The rest of the audience has vanished. My older brother Darrell and that Ford Ranchero of his, gone.

Hitman Out of the Shadows
I want to start of by saying that I am a HUGE fan of the game series. Having played all titles (including the addictive 'Hitman GO'), I dread to think how many hours I spent trying to achieve the rank of 'Silent Assassin'. Sneaking and skulking in the shadows, stalking and inevitably stealthily taking down my targets were par for the course. An ingredient the movies just couldn't capture.

Best CandyRat Records Live Guitar Performances
If you've ever been down the rabbit hole of "Best Guitar Solos" or "Acoustic Guitar Videos" YouTube searches, you've watched a CandyRat Records artist's video, whether you think you have or not. Lesser known by its name, the fusion of the cause of rotten teeth and a rodent, CandyRat Records dominates the indie label experimental guitar performance game with a whopping 375+ million views on its YouTube channel. CandyRat Records joined the YouTube world on May 10, 2006, only a year after YouTube's launch, and has since become known as the go-to for aspiring guitarists and musicians alike.
