Buzz Gift Guide: Dear Old Dad

BuzzSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:30:55 -0800

Yes, you read that right: the holiday season is already upon us! It's time to pack up our scary Halloween decorations and start brainstorming ideas for the perfect presents. I know how daunting holiday shopping can be, which is why I'm here to help you every step of the way for all the entertainment lovers in your life. Kicking things off: gifts for your proud papas.

Finding something great for my dad has always been a bit of a struggle, since he's already got a lifetime's worth of gadgets and gizmos, but that's where this guide comes in handy - he always needs new CDs for the stereo and some DVDs to help show off that plasma screen, right?

My parents love reminiscing about the '60s on Mad Men, and what dad wouldn't look dashing in Brooks Brothers' limited edition suit? It doesn't come cheap, but then again, neither does looking as suave as Don Draper.

Many dads, including my own, tend to love Ken Burns, so how about his latest doc, National Parks. Looking for something a bit lighter? As a die-hard Mel Brooks fan, I'm thinking of giving a Blu-ray box set of the classics including Space Balls and Young Frankenstein.

Buzz In: Who Should Get Their Own Rock Band Game Next?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:30:11 -0700

Following in the footsteps of this Fall's release of The Beatles Rock Band, similarly seminal band The Who may also get their own version of the game. Roger Daltrey has been quoted as saying that it's planned for next year, but the news is still unconfirmed by reps for the game. More certain is the fact that you probably won't be able to smash the peripherals when you're done playing.

Honestly, though, the thing I'm most excited about is the road ahead for more acts to get Rock Band games. I'm a fan of The Beatles Rock Band and would love the chance to play another band's catalog. Rock Band has already hit up Metallica, Guitar Hero's already gotten Aerosmith; I think it makes sense to have a Rolling Stones game, or perhaps Led Zeppelin or U2. Maybe they could even use a younger band like Green Day or Pearl Jam? Which band would you like to see get their own Rock Band game?

Buzz In: What Songs Do You Want to Hear on Glee?

Tonight we'll get to see a brand new episode of Glee, and word on the street is that the boys will be bringing it with a little Bon Jovi in a battle of the sexes contest. There's a reason that Glee is winning the favorite new Fall comedy poll, and a big part of that is the singing.

I look forward to the stirring performances in each episode, and they've already hit up some of my favorite songs, like "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Single Ladies." I'm already keeping a mental checklist of what bands and songs I'm ready for the cast to cover. What am I itching for? Some Madonna, some Beatles, some Rolling Stones; specifically I'd also love to hear "Total Eclipse of the Heart," "Sweet Home Alabama," and maybe a sampling of "Poker Face." What songs you want to hear the uber-talented kids (or the Acafellas) perform?

Don't forget to enter our Glee giveaway for a chance to hang with one of the cast members and check out the Glee Club in our Community!
