NFL Power Rankings – Super Bowl

Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. The 49ers, seen here looking sad after dropping a key INT. We got two more great games in the Conference finals! Short of an absolute blowout, this may be the best playoffs ever, or at least that I've seen (which is starting to get closer to the same thing every year…

NBA Power Rankings – Week 17

Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. The Harden/Simmons deal makes all the others seem a little small. The trade deadline has just passed and some shit went down! There were a bunch of trades, but we're just going to look at the biggest one.

Massive Attack – Mezzanine

This is one of those albums that comes out of nowhere and then proceeds to melt your soul from the inside. I don't even know exactly how I came about buying this CD in 1998, but after listening to it once, I was hooked. I was definitely exposed to Tricky, Portishead, and trip-hop before 1998, so it wasn't some sort of radical new sound…
