Popmatters.com

Popmatters has been around for almost a decade now and has proven to be one of the more successful music, arts and film websites on the internet. At first, Popmatters largely focused on music, but has recently spread out to cover all aspects of pop culture, from film to comics to video games. Some of the best writing about music and art I have read on their site. Many of their writers are unpaid and freelance which often attracts a different style and quality of writer, but Popmatters is good about picking only the best and featuring only the best articles and stories on pop culture and music. Their best of the year lists regarding music are often much more unique and varied than the usual end-the-the-year lists that pop up.

Not sure how they have gotten away with using the surely copyrighted term “Coke” but hopefully they never get caught because Coke Machine Glow is one of the most unique and clever music review and news websites on the internet. Coke Machine Glow doesn’t cover one style of music but brings the same intelligence and wit to their reviews of metal, hip-hop or noise music. If you are looking for verbose, but witty writing that doesn’t adhere to any standard form of music criticism, Coke Machine Glow is a great website to bookmark in your browser

Pitchforkmedia.com

One of the most successful and popular music and news review sites on the internet, Pitchfork Media is often seen as one of the most influential sites on the internet, integral to making or breaking a band. Their 1-10 review score ratings have become coveted and feared in the music world, often seen as an instigator in sales of the particular record, more prized than a brand new BMW body kit. Often criticized for their smarmy reviews and overly verbose reviews, Pitchfork Media is nonetheless a powerful influence on the music industry, whether you like it or not, so it is always interesting to see what they are doing, and what new band they are pulling for.

Unfortunately, building an online poker bankroll is not as easy as it used to be. Gone are the days of poker sites throwing bonus money at players in an attempt to draw them to their site. Savvy players were members of over a dozen sites, taking advantage of the generous sign up and monthly bonuses. It was easy for a player to make hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month in bonus money alone. Low limit players could systematically, and in short time, move up in limits, and new players were able to learn the game with the safety net of bonus dollars.

Once online poker sites stopped giving out regular bonuses it became more difficult for low limit players to build their bankroll and move up in limits. The high rake taken at most poker sites made the games nearly unbeatable.

Recently, many popular poker sites introduced a new No Limit Hold Em structure called Double or Nothing Sit & Go tournaments that gives low limit and new players a low-risk game to build their bankrolls. These one-table tournaments are different than regular Sit & Gos in that the last five players at the table win double their entry fee. Since the structure is different than regular Sit & Go tournaments, most players are not using the proper strategy to successfully beat the game. This gives players with an understanding of the correct strategy a big advantage over those who have not yet adjusted. In addition, the rake taken for these games is low, making it the perfect bankroll builder for low limit and new poker players.

Low limit and new poker players trying to build their bankroll should make Double or Nothing Sit & Go tournaments their game online. Poker players with the right strategy adjustments for these games will dominate the competition and quickly win the money they need to move up to the higher stakes.

Watching movies is a social experience. We watch movies with friends, families, colleagues, and with anyone else that is good company.

But with the internet, people are searching for movie reviews everywhere.

While it may difficult to begrudge them their exulted status, there are some things that are positive about celebrity and fame. You may turn a lighter shad of green when you realize that celebs:

Inspire Us to Work Harder

Some may consider this negative, but in a culture full of celebrity worship, we want what our favorite entertainers have. We work harder at trying to attain the perfect body because Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Lopez possess it. We want to own at least one Porsche like Jerry Seinfeld, or platinum Jewelry like Sean Combs.

Though the perfect body may be unattainable, and to be fair celebrities enjoy airbrushing, personal trainers and personal chefs to help them attain either the illusion or an actual perfect body. They make us work harder at being our best self, and most of us figure if he can do it I can do it too.

Teach Us about the World

Not every person blessed with fame is shallow and self involved. Often celebrities use their fame as a platform to increase awareness about national and global problems and events. Whatever the consensus is on Angelina Jolie as a home wrecker, the fact that she has raised awareness of the importance of adoption is indisputable. Jolie, adopted two children from third world nations bringing an awareness of the plight of children in poor and developing countries. Other celebrities such as Meg Ryan, and Madonna have followed her lead and countless others will undoubtedly follow.

George Clooney may someday run for office, but is currently using his celebrity status to raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Clooney has helped raise money, and introduced many Americans to a part of the world that is often not discussed on their local news.

In addition to world events celebrities also help to raise awareness and money for foundations for rare and incurable diseases. Both Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali suffer from Parkinsons disease, Christopher Reeve was an outspoken advocate for people with spinal disabilities. Celebrities make it cool to do charitable activities such as doing a walk for cancer or encouraging women to be tested for breast cancer and men for prostate cancer. Celebrities such as Fran Drescher, and Rudolph Giuliani tell their stories and share their fight with the diseases which undoubtedly saves lives.

Though it is quite easy to look at most entertainers as overpaid and egotistical, remember there are two sides to the equation.
