2008: Year of the Blog

It's our Greatest Blog Hits: the year's best blurbage lifted from our Navel Gazing, Heard Mentality and Stick a Fork In It blogs, each of which you need to peruse daily. After all, you never know when we'll have another rename-Mike-Carona's-penis contest.
By OC Weekly Staff

Rhythm and Blue Balls

Our writer cries "Rap and Bullshit" about the watering-down of the R&B genre, including the utter banality of crooners Ne-Yo and Usher, whom he declares "bland, well-dressed Michael Jackson wannabes with good choreographers." Ouch.
By Ben Westhoff

Graphic Content

Our reviewer takes a look back at the year in graphic fiction and nonfiction. We mean graphic as in "pen and paper," not "blood and guts." (Although some of them are kind of both.)
By Bill Kohlhaase

What's the Buzz?

No, not that kind of buzz. We're talking coffee, here, and tea and hot caramel-apple cider at the Lost Bean coffeehouse in Tustin. On the other hand, they do call their food offerings "Munchies." . . .
