The A&E blog covers a span of cultural artifacts as wide, fascinating, and bizarre as the internet itself, from reviews of the cheapest coolers at the liquor store to the best concert to see at the Triple Rock, with a bit of speculation at the meaning of it all stuffed in between.

I got to chat with head A.V. Club writer Nathan Rabin just after I'd finished his new memoir, "The Big Rewind: A Memoir Brought to You By Pop Culture." We talked for about 45 minutes, longer than I could fit in my 30-inch article, so I thought others who were…

The beloved "splat" Nickelodeon logo of our childhoods is no more. First Camp Snoopy, now Nickelodeon's more "streamlined" look - what's next, Sesame Street? Let's hope not. Check out the new logo, more suited to the teenybop fare the channel shills today versus the "All That" and "Pete & Pete" of our pasts, here:

Here's a little bit with Jake that didn't make the print version.
ME: You're a stylish guy; do any musicians have influence on that style?
Easily. Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music and David Bowie, those two guys; probably as a young child it was the Duran Duran thing. I would dress up and…

What is the world coming to? I'm attracted to designs from the mall store of all mall stores, JCPenney? I hate JCPenney! I haven't been in the store since I quit wearing Mudd flares in junior high. But like a lot of mall anchor retailers, they're trying to revamp their image by collaborating with more high-end…

I have a confession to make: this fashionista has bad skin, and I'm finally so tired of these stupid zits that I made an appointment at the Uptown Dermatology & SkinSpa. (1221 W. Lake St., above Roat Osha Thai and the Jon Charles salon--which was recently featured as the best salon in MN by…

SUNDAY: Headliners The Flaming Lips drew in a whole new crowd, this one of varying ages and with a proclivity for costume-wear (panda masks, human-sized banana suits, that kind of thing). Suspense for the show grew with the help of a giant store of yellow and orange balloons backstage. At…

SATURDAY: Union park was packed to the fences today as crowds filtered in to see bands ranging from poetic, deep-voiced songsters The National to recovering-from-valium-cocktail-shame Wavves. How many kids showed up today? Let’s just say there were porta potties galore, but hipsters tend to have their bladders in synch, and…

Friday:
With a lineup of mainstay alternative acts, most of them having been playing for over a decade, Friday night’s audience was sparse on the scenesters and heavy on the indie rock diehards. The crowd was older than the rest of the weekends will probably be, leaving the blog-worshippers the next…

Here's a little one-on-one I did with the ladies that was a teeeeeny bit too big to make it into the print version.

[on rehab] I went to rehab in MN and I packed shorts and tee shirts, froze my ass off! I liked the city a lot, we had outings, so I did get a chance to see a bit of the city. It seems a little more progressive than other cities. I wasreally impressed…

I used to be a "Jon & Kate Plus 8" fan. Well, to suit the changing times and their impending divorce, I've decided now I am a "Kate + 8" fan, but I refuse to tune into TLC to watch the show anymore. Unless the kids do REALLY cute things, I won't budge. I'd rather watch "Cake Boss." But this…

PHOTO COURTESY DOUBLEDAY
Those people with all that money and all those ideas in Hollywood have decided that making a Facebook movie could possibly for some reason be good. No, it's not a high-energy documentary about the momentum of the site. Instead, it's a drama written by the creator of "The…

Here's the trailer for "Jennifer's Body," by Diablo Cody and starring Megan Fox.
But couldn't they have copied "True Blood's" poster just a bit less obviously?

For the second time, Stephen King finds himself getting comfy in the pages of Esquire magazine, after they published his "Gingerbread Girl" in 2007. This time, his story has the lofty title "Morality," and an excerpt is painted onto the naked body of Israeli model Bar Refaeli.
"Morality" isn't necessarily…
