Televised Tune: On the Tube This Weekend
The writer’s strike is starting to seriously cramp our style. How many times can you watch the same reruns from Dave and Jay over and over?

Magnet School: Tonight…We Drink
Some bands cover songs, others rename songs, but Magnet School has made an album out of a song.
