Oh BSG, How I Miss Thee
It's been almost a year since the last episode of Battlestar Galactica aired, and I still miss it. The TV movie Battlestar Galactica: The Plan helped kill my withdrawals a little bit, and even though it's taken a few weeks, I am proud to call myself a full-fledged Caprica fan.
But it's little nuggets like this tribute video that make a BSG-less existence that more bearable.
FABTV: Beastie Boys "Fight For Your Right to Party"
My heart dropped when I heard the news Adam Yauch of the Beasties was diagnosed with cancer. The Beastie Boys are one of my favorite all-time bands; I have seen them live more than any other group. And, I was looking forward to seeing them this Summer in San Francisco.

Madonna, Beasties Nominated for Rock Hall of Fame
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is wasting no time in recognizing Madonna and the Beastie Boys. They're among the nine artists nominated for the new class of inductees in just their first year of eligibility for the honor.
They join seven other nominees from all across the musical map: John Mellencamp, Leonard Cohen, Afrika Bambaataa, Chic, the Ventures, Donna Summer and the Dave Clark Five.
Fabcon: Sofia Coppola
Sofia Coppola's style can best be described as unfussy, cool and classic. We are talking about one of Marc Jacob's muses here (lucky!). While one may point out she wears a lot of black, 'tis true, but so do other icons such as Kate Moss and Diana Vreeland.
Song of the Day: Beastie Boys, "B For My Name"
I've always grooved happily to the Beastie Boys' instrumental offerings, like "Sabrosa" from Ill Communication, and I've waited anxiously for the hip-hop veterans' follow-up to 2004's To the 5 Burroughs. But even so, I'm not sure how I feel about the Boys making an all-instrumental album, which is what they've done with The Mix-Up, hitting stores today.
Everything I've heard off the album is pretty topnotch: funky and weird, full of creatively fused influences and slithery beats.
FABTV: Beastie Boys "So What'cha Want"
I have to share my excitement with you all: I'm going to see one of my all-time favorite bands, The Beastie Boys, this summer! This will be my fourth time seeing them and I'm so psyched to whip out my Adidas and old-school gear for them. Thanks to the Beasties, white boys gained coolness.Webby Awards Draw Web And Hollywood Celebrities
One of my favorite geeky girls, Jessica Rose, walked last night's Webby Awards red carpet amid a mix of web and Hollywood celebrities. Rose, who is known to the world as YouTube phenomenon Lonelygirl15, will make her major film debut in the upcoming "I Know Who Killed Me" flick with Lindsay Lohan. I am pleased to say Rose already has her geek chic red carpet look down.
