The Music+Moxie Interview: Alex Marshall of the Cab
Las Vegas band The Cab inked its first recording contract while the bands founding members were still in high school and released their first full-length album, Whisper War, in 2008, garnering much love and enviable praise from that fickle beast known as the music press. With next week’s release of their long-awaited and much-anticipated follow up […]
Teen Wolf: Video Post-Script (Season 1)
Awwww!! Love them. Season 2 cannot come soon enough. BTW How the eff adorable is Dylan?!!??
Anything Else
Anything Else is really Annie Hall just recycled for the modern era. I’ll admit that Annie Hall isn’t nearly as compelling in the early aughts as it was in the 70s. Zeitgeists: how do they work? Jerry Falk: …I was actually listening to this last night, and I thought of you. Amanda: You were listening […]
Teen Wolf Love Theme
This week, Teen Wolfs executive producer and writer Jeff Davis sings the praises of what is usually a criminally-unsung position in entertainment: the productions own composer. (Really though, any soundtrack oriented position in entertainment tends to be under-appreciated, under-rated and under the house. No wait, that last under is an old PIL song; but you […]
Review: Decemberists Fake It Twice at LA’s Greek Theater
2011 has been a banner year for the Decemberists. Having enjoyed a respectable and sustained success in relative obscurity, their unexpected Billboard #1 hit with January’s The King Is Dead turned the bookish indie-folk-pop quintet into bona-fide mainstream rockstars, which somehow escaped the notice of your normally alert girl in music until later in the […]
Formality /Just a Little Bit
Did you notice how generous the show was in music this week? I think its because they want us to forgive them when they kill one of the gang and make another character non-human but don’t tell us till next season who died and who is nonhuman.. just a theory, purely speculative but it seems […]
Best Side Story
Well, my fellow Teen Wolf Fans, until next season we will have this one small comfort: the extended (10 minutes long!) version of the Drew Barrymore directed supervideo for Best Coast‘s “Our Deal” starring Tyler Posey, Chloe Moretz with a cameo by Miranda Cosgrove in an homage to West Side Story that so ingeniously illustrates […]
Australia-Land
Have I ever mentioned how wonderful Australia is? Australia is a beautiful country filled with beautiful people doing beautiful things…beautifully. If you were to ask me “Ses, what’s the one country in the world with which you could find no fault?” I would quickly answer, without a moment’s hesitation, “Australia.” The music, the people, the […]
Co-Captain/Who Are You Really?
Co-Captain did a bang-up job of building on last weeks Wolfs Bane, in my never-to-be-humble opinion, as the series visual calling-card, a pronounced neo-noir cinematic motif, was once again seamlessly executed for maximum suspense and shrillest squeaks from yours truly. Oh yes, really. The always impressive soundtrack** is yet another example of why, if I were […]
This ‘Teen Wolf’ Sheriff Wouldn’t Last a Minute as a Woman
This week, Stiles gets his pops plastered and talky in order to get at the truth regarding the Alpha’s victims. In related news, his dad, who gets drunk within seconds and can’t tell the difference between a shot and a double, possibly quadruple, would never make it as a woman.
Wolfs Bane & the Wall of Death
Why yes, I did see the final Harry Potter film this weekend; why do you ask? OK, so the title is a teensy bit (100%) JK Rowling’s Harry Potter-esque, but I couldn’t help myself, and let’s face it, you wouldn’t want me to, trust. Moving on then, today is a Monday which can only […]
indie
indie is dead. because indie won. A brief excerpt from The End of Indie” or “We Are All Indie Now” by Richard Nash. “You see, to the extent that indie meant anything, it was as its root word, independent. It was about seizing the means of production. Independently produced. Aesthetics can be imitated, ethics faked, […]
Ask Ye Shall Receive: Lunatic / Bad Karma
Around 11 am I learned that my pops had not been lying to me when I was 4 years old and he told me that persistence always pays off. Today my month-long quest for content to bring you on the amazeballs music featured in ‘Teen Wolf’ concluded as I read these words “Jeff Davis would […]

A Ses and Voldy Playlist
As was often the case in mine and Lord Voldemort’s relationship, he would frequently wax on and on and on about this or that present he was constructing for me to mark whichever occasion was close at hand. I rarely, if ever, actually saw tangible evidence that they had existed by any stretch of the […]
Teen Wolf: Who’s Gonna Die Next Week?
OK, phew! Thanks to three-hour fireworks courtesy of the city of Los Angeles last night, I have only just now finished watching the latest episode of Teen Wolf and plan to diligently and defiantly hold my breath until we find out who dies next week. Remember, I was afflicted with this obsession when I interviewed […]
