Spring Awakening 2015 Preview: 3 "Don't Miss" Sets


Summertime in Chicago is just about here, so you know what that means, right? MUSIC FESTIVAL SEASON! Is it just me, or does Chicago host more music festivals than any other city in the world? Seeing that I rarely go outside the city limits, I'm going to go ahead and say the answer to that question is YES!

The gateway to the summer festival season in Chicago for the past few years has been the EDM extravaganza, Spring Awakening, held at Soldier Field, and this year is no different. Spring Awakening is back and bigger than ever. The line-up features a "who's who" of the EDM world. Diplo, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Afrojack...you name it, Spring Awakening's got it!

Spring Awakening 2015 is a three-day smorgasbord of electronica,from June 12-14, with different headliners closing the show each night. Even the newbiest (word?) of EDM fans know to stick around for the Midwest debut of Jack U (Diplo and Skrillex's super group), but what deeper sets should an EDM virgin check out? That's where the mighty QB comes in to help.

Here are 3 non-headlining sets, 1 from each day, that if you truly call yourself an EDM fan, you'll stick around for. You're welcome.

5 On It: NFL Week 5 Recap


No, I didn't forget about last week. After the horrific outcome of last week's Bears-Packers game, I decided to find my happy place and pretend that week 4 never happened. So, since in my mind there were no games, there was no need for a recap...perfect logic.

Logic aside, my happy place ended up being shattered because the damn Bears lost another damn game to the damn Panthers. Let's see what the rest of the week had to offer.

2014 Fall TV Review: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 Premiere


Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started off as a show I wasn't very fond of.  Now it is must see TV for me, and guess what...it's back!

Also, SPOILERS!!!  I only go into the first 20 minutes of the show, and there is a lot of things that happen in that short amount of time.

NFL Week 3 Recap: 5 On It


Welcome back. Week 3 has passed us, and so far no news of any running backs getting indicted over the weekend. I guess things are looking up for Goodell and Company. Once again, I'm here to give you my top five stand-out moments of the week. Get your popcorn ready (do people still say that?).

2014 Fall TV Review: Gotham


Before there was Batman, there was Gotham.  The dark and seedy city, where crime and corruption thrive.  Our hero in FOX's take on the DC comics classic city, is not the Caped Crusader, but rather Detective James Gordon, played by Ben McKenzie.
