Per·fect song - /pur-fikt sawng/ : 1) A song that you find to be perfect; one in which you would not change a single note, beat or word. 2) A song that you connect to emotionally, or attach to a memory, a special person, or an experience. 3) Songs that speak directly to you or about you.

We here at Blendetta have decided to compile a top 50 list of what can only be described as perfect songs. No two people will have the same reasons as to why they find a song to be perfect, so we made two separate lists. So without further ado, here are the songs and the reasons why they are perfect, to us: (more…)

I love sports. If I’m not at a game, I’m watching one on TV. If I’m not watching sports on TV, I’m playing a sports game on the 360. I’m a huge football and boxing fan, but I enjoy watching everything from golf to rugby. With that being said, it should be no surprise that I also enjoy watching sports movies. I’ve seen just about all of them: everything from the documentaries to the kids movies, from The Pride of the Yankees to Little Giants. Not too many of my friends like sports like I do, if they even like them at all. I usually can’t get them to watch a game with me, but I can get them to watch movies that involve sports. If you think about it, most sports movies aren’t really about sports. They are usually about working together as a team, overcoming adversity, not losing sight of your dreams: things that people can relate to even if they aren’t a sports fan. For me, I appreciate sports movies because it seems like these days, movies are the only place where you can get a sense of the spirit of the game – something that has become all but lost in professional sports. You actually get to see camaraderie  and athletes who play for the love of the game, unlike in the real world where it’s become all about personal stats, egos, and contracts. (more…)

Video Yearbook (FUSE, Mon-Fri 4:00pm)
I remember when I was in high school complaining about how MTV didn’t show videos anymore. Thing is, back in the 90s they actually did show some videos — I mean, we all remember seeing clips like Cypress Hill’s “Insane in the Brain” and Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight Tonight.” Well, now that MTV actually doesn’t show videos at all, you can catch your old favorites on FUSE’s Video Yearbook. A particularly fun show because (more…)

Most musical artists change somewhat throughout their careers. (Unless, of course, you’re AC/DC.) Names like Madonna and David Bowie usually come to mind when thinking of the music industry’s chameleons, but there are many others who’ve made significant changes, both in look and sound. Read on for a list of 10 current artists who’ve completely transformed themselves for both the better…and the worse. (more…)

It’s getting ready to be that time of year again - Halloween. I’m sure that every movie blog is going to recommend their favorite scary movies to watch on Halloween, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon. Here are my recommendations:

The Exorcist
In my opinion, this is probably the scariest movie of all time – it’s so evil! I remember being traumatized as a young kid after watching this movie for the first time. I couldn’t sleep for weeks. I just knew that I was going to be possessed because I had played with an Ouija board, just like Regan did in the movie. It also didn’t help that my mom explained that the movie was based on a true story. The possession took place right here in Maryland, in Mt. Rainier, to a little boy named Robbie. She claimed to have visited the house on Bunker Hill Road where the child lived. She told me that the house still had an eerie feeling. It’s been over 20 years since the first time I’ve watched this movie and it still scares the shyte out of my every time I see it. I’m not sure that I’ve ever watched it all of the way through without closing my eyes or turning my head for at least a second or two.
