  • Trashwire covers ‘Big Brother 8’

    Years ago, CBS debuted a new reality series called Big Brother.

  • The Black Parade marches on Denver

    As most of you know by now, I am a huge fan of My Chemical Romance. Though I might not fit their target demographic, I absolutely love their music, their videos and their whole vibe. Last night, I was one of the lucky ones who saw their show at Magness Arena in Denver.
