10 Songs I'm Pretty Sure Are About Masturbation

image not available

(Above: Judge Reinhold gets busted by Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High)  Masturbation. I remember when that was a dirty word. Back in 6th and 7th grade, nobody—and I mean nobody—would cop to doing that shit. Around then, my friend Chris and I had a conversation that went a little something like this:Chris: You know, I read something in this magazine about how like 90 percent of guys in middle school masturbate.Steve: No way, man. I don't believe it.Chris: Well, that's what it said. But you're right, there's no way. [awkward pause] You don't do that, do you?Steve:...  read more

The Ten Cutest Babies On Album Covers Ever

The Ten Cutest Babies On Album Covers Ever

Weird smells, non-verbal communication and other peoples' feces kind of freak me out, so I'm not the biggest fan of babies. Babies' one redeeming quality, so far as I can see, is their collective capacity for unbridled cuteness. If I don't have to hold them while such cuteness is happening, all the better! This makes album covers featuring babies especially ideal: You get the best part of the babies without actually having to be in the same room as them! And you get music! Bonus. There are a whole lot of album covers featuring babies (here is an incredibly comprehensive...  read more

Rosebuds, Submarines, many more pay tribute to The Cure

Rosebuds, Submarines, many more pay tribute to The Cure

It just happens one day. All of a sudden, a band has been around long enough to put out its 13th studio album and get tribute paid to it in the same year. And then again in the next. It's not an easy feat to stay so productive for so many years (and inspire the same in so many others), but then neither is applying Robert Smith's make-up through it all. (We kid because we love, Bob!) ...  read more

In a world where one can collect many worthy things—stamps, Coke cans, baseball cards—why not collect The Cure? In anticipation of its September 13 release, the band has opted to release a single for the 13th of each month leading up to its 13th studio album, which comes on Sept. 13th. That’s right, expect four exclusive singles with b-sides in the coming months and then a whole new album. So far the singles have only been announced for May and June. “The Only One” will include the b-side “NY Trip.” On June 13, the band will release “Freakshow,” including the...  read more
