Samsung LED TV Series 6

We have very specific requirements for what makes a good television set. 1) Must be kind to the environment, 2) must provide serious picture quality, 3) must look. damn. hot.

Fantasies by Metric

An album that you can enjoy knocking boots to as much as you'll love screaming down the freeway doesn't come along often. So when we picked up Fantasies ($10), the fourth studio album from Metric, we knew we'd found a keeper. This kick ass mix of electronic, punk and indie... [More]
