LIST: Top 10 Films of 2009

I have repeatedly parroted that for the world of music, 2009 was an outstanding year.  Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for film.  Blame it on the terrible sequel blockbusters that crowded the box office (I’m looking at you New Moon, Transformers, and the Angels and Demons) not only in the summer, but during all [...]

Das Racist “Rainbow In the Dark”

So, um, happy New Years Eve everybody!  What better way to usher in the fabulous New Year than with a music video from NYC’s favorite maybe-absurdist/maybe-genius hip hop duo?  If that sounds like it might interest you, than I would suggest that you watch the video that’s embedded below (which comes via P4K, who have [...]

LIST: Top 30 Albums of 2009 (15-1)

Okay, I know that I’m something like a broken record at this point, but I will say it one more time for the cheap seats.  What a year for music.  There were no fewer than seven or eight albums that would undoubtedly be on any best of the decade list, and possibly that number would [...]

LIST: Top 30 Albums of 2009 (30-16)

I have said a few times how great a year I thought this year has been for music.  I mean, obviously there are some pretty great albums that come out each and every year, you will always be able to find something to love, but 2009 in particular marked an explosion of creativity and musical [...]

LIST: Top 50 Songs of 2009 (20-1)

As I said earlier, choosing my top songs of the year was tough.  There was literally a list of hundreds of songs that I compiled at the top of the process.  I had to leave off a number of popular singles that I enjoyed for songs that were buried on great albums, just as I [...]

LIST: Top 50 Songs of 2009 (50-21)

The year may be drawing to a close, but the hits keep on coming.  There were so many great tracks this year that choosing a favorite fifty was one tough task.  In the end, though, after some tough decisions and much deliberation, I whittled my list of about two hundred down to that favorite fifty.

LIST: Top 10 EPs of 2009

The year is winding down, and like any self-respecting narcissist, that only can mean one possible thing for me; it’s list time here at HItV.  In the next couple weeks I will be counting down some of my favorite things of the year, mostly (if not exclusively) involving both music and film.  After all, what [...]

IN REVIEW: Clipse “Til The Casket Drops”

I wonder if this is what it sounds like when Clipse makes a mainstream record (or perhaps at least their version of a mainstream record).  It’s worth pointing out that it would be a mistake to read that as being an entirely critical statement, I mean, you can’t rap exclusively about slinging crack forever.  But [...]

Al Gore Is Fired Up

If you truck your merry self over to Slate than you will find their exclusive interview with former VP, one-time Nobel Prize winner, and general environmental do-gooder Al Gore.  Now, it’s a pretty long and comprehensive interview that covers a whole ton of relevant stuff regarding environmental topics, ranging from the meeting in Copenhagen to [...]
