ben folds show in Easton, PA, april 10th, 2008
Audio isn’t great, but it’s the best version of Free Coffee I could find. There’s an aluminum cake pan in the piano as well as a distortion pedal. He didn’t mess it up last night, like in the clip, thankfully. Quick (hopefully) post about last night’s ben folds concert at lafayette college in easton, PA. […]

Nate’s Review of Cloverfield
Before I get started, be sure to check out Nate’s review of Cloverfield. Make a point to check out the comments – they get to the crux of the argument and Ken Matthews (yes, that Ken Matthews) even weighs in. No, we don’t take celebrity lightly here at The Bookshelf. Nate, Nate, Nate. So many […]

Cloverfield
Pirated video that shows clearly what the monster really is. It’s been a while since we’ve posted… I know. To put it simply, Cloverfield is effin’ scary.

The Phillies have had an alternate hat the last few years, but […]

Best Song Ever? The 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky)
Maybe the most in-depth “best song ever?” review…ever Only in the US could a song written by a gay Russian guy to celebrate a Russian military victory become a cornerstone of its patriotic celebrations. Sure, the whole “1812” in the title makes it sound like it could’ve been written in relation to the little discussed […]

The Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection, Volume 1, Disc 1
Funny, just a few minutes ago, the streets were jam-packed with people staring up in disbelief. One of the great features of NetFlix is the ability to look at a list of Academy Award-Winners, or AFI lists, or even Razzie award-winners, and then with one click add them to your list. The biggest problem with […]

Guest Review: Madden 2008 (XBox 360)
Guest Review! Kyle from notthegame.com weighs in on Madden 2008. Madden 2008 is a bit of an enigma. In the last few years, on the new systems, Madden has been a sub par football game. This is typical for sports games on a new system as it takes game developers a few years to revamp […]
