  • [Hump Day Diversion] The Cybertronic Spree

    So, yeah. This exists. Infinitely debatably cooler than the Bronies and less likely to shiv you over a bottle of Faygo than the Juggalos, we continue our weekly wade in the waters of weird with the presentation of the Transfans (yup, we know – problematic nomenclature for sure). Fans of the Transformers franchise, or…

  • “Damn Right” | Anna Haas releases new single you can grab for free!

    I love Anna Haas. Don’t believe me? Check out my review of her show from earlier this year. And you are so in luck because Anna is offering faithful fans a little reward for their loyalty and new listeners some incentive to get a little adventurous. She says, “I’m really excited about this single,…

  • [Hump Day Hangover] Life Before Autotune

    Greetings readers, don’t adjust your resolution – you’re (probably) not hallucinating and you haven’t lost a day somewhere on the way to the weekend… here begins the first Diversion not on Hump Day proper — thusly known as the Hump Day Hangover (see what we did there?) Sorry we’re tardy, but better late than…

  • [Hump Day Diversion] Snack Time

    This post is not about Miley Cyrus and her VMA performance. You’re welcome. While there are lots of great reaction videos and parodies of what may go down as the most bizarre and insensitive display of cultural appropriation in modern music, you’re tired of hearing about it aren’t you? Me too. So, dear readers,…

  • [Hump Day Diversion] Slow-Mo Jo

    Dolly Parton‘s classic “Jolene” is undoubtedly one of the greatest songs of all time. Even Miley Cyrus can’t ruin it. And now longtime fans of the jam are all a-tizzy not with a new cover, but by a slowed down version of Dolly’s original. Known as the “Slow Ass Jolene” (stay class, internet!) –…

  • [Hump Day Diversion] My Little Brony

    Get ready to get seriously diverted, friends, because after a brief hiatus, we’re back with your weekly dose of weird. This time, we take a look at a new subculture emerging that could give the Jugaloos a run for their money in the bizarre department. Meet the “Bronies” – a male fandom of the…

  • [Hump Day Diversion] Blurred Lines

    Okay. Let’s get real for a minute; as a feminist, I am essentially 100% obligated to hate Robin Thicke (featuring T.I. and Pharrell) and his irresistibly snazzy summer jam, “Blurred Lines.” Its lyrics read like a dopey, danceable date rape anthem, while the video views like bad artcore porn. There has been much discussion…

  • [Hump Day Diversion] Growl With Me

    How many of you are still trying to recover from the sheer weird that was last night’s 90s super bill stop in the line dance capital of the country? Did you get your fill of the growl — that grungy vocal styling that was so prevalent during the end of the last millennium —…

  • [Hump Day Diversion] I Still Want My MTV

    Alternate Post Title: “I spent 12 hours* watching MTV (in case you didn’t)” *This is a lie. Ok, an exaggeration. It was more like 6 hours, but it could have been 12, because MTV actually played half a day’s worth of music videos from throughout the channel’s near 32 year history (feel old yet?).…

  • Kink Ador release perfect summertime video, “Sunshine”

    Welp, it sure is one rainy Independence Day, huh gang? Sorry to hear of all the cancelled BBQs and dampened outdoor debauchery previously planned in our nation’s honor. But fear not, take a break from watching MTV’s 12 hours of actual music video airplay (seriously, it’s pretty spectacular, more on that next week) and…
