90s Revival is All About Third Eye Blind

90s Revival is All About Third Eye Blind

For the record, I own the self-titled debut album and I probably can still recall most of the lyrics. For the record: I am not comparing Third Eye Blind to the Smiths, per se. I am comparing their importance to kids in their early 20s/late teens, to when I was in my teens/20s. It is 100% baffling to me. Here's evidence so yo know I'm not...

"Mad Men Yourself" App Is As Deliciously Fun as the Show

The folks over at AMC's website have come up with an incredibly fun new application, called "Mad Men Yourself" -- basically, you create a digital paper doll in '60s-era garb and accessories. This isn't a new conceit, but it's the best I've seen so far.
