While some consider Memorial Day the official start of summer, we know it is marked by a different occasion: the premiere of crappy summer TV shows! While last week was a nice little vacation from TV slavedom, complete with even more deletions from the TiVo Season Pass list, those empty spots are quickly getting filled up. Let's see what the evening has to offer, shall we? more ›

What a random assortment of movies this weekend! On screen one, there's the unrestrained yee-haw of state's rights advocates the , a Jarmusch directed story of a confirmed bachelor (not that way) who discovers he has a 19-year-old son.

Travel down memory lane to those days of yore when rap music could seriously be considered the "black CNN" and wearing a huge clock as a necklace was a fashion statement. Chuck D takes a break from "Air America" and Flava Flav takes a break from filming "Surreal Life 3" as they and the rest of the mighty Public Enemy brings tha noize for a show on September 3 at the Fillmore. If this event is as any good as one EssEffist saw way back in the day, it should be quite a show indeed (Humpty Hump of the Digital Underground stood right in front of us!). It's hard to remember what it was like back then through our misty-colored "I Love the 80's" eyes, but there was a time when PE was the mightiest musical force that roamed the earth--a barrage of noise, beats, and incendiary lyrics that still pisses people off today.
