It was only this past summer that David Wain teased he was thinking about making a followup to the cult classic "Wet Hot American Summer." It's hard to believe that the film is now over ten years old, but the wild summer camp comedy proved to be a launching pad for a boatload of names like Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Ken Marino, Joe Lo Truglio, Amy Poehler, Judah Friedlander and many, many more. While the film fizzled at the box office, taking in a paltry $300,000, it was on DVD where the fervor for the movie grew, and ...

[mp3] Summer Camp: "Better Off Without You"   It's been a quick moment since we checked in on our friends from the UK Summer Camp . Last year saw the release of their highly lauded debut album ' Welcome to Condale .' It's always an event when they make it to the states - so if you missed them last night at Mercury Lounge, you can catch them tonight at Glasslands. See you there. Just listening to the song above should be enough to convince you it's worth it.

Our indie professor is so indie she signed up for a holiday on a boat with Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh and Weezer. And she's such a professor, she wrote an end-of-term report about it ... One of the things I love about a destination festival is that it takes you away from your everyday life. And a music cruise takes the destination festival to a whole new level. When I grew up, it seemed that a cruise was something you did when you retired. The sort of trip you went on when you were afraid to fly or when you'd ...

Last year we unveiled a new monthly column called 'Agony Aunt', which we sadly never launched. Thankfully 2012 has given us a mighty kick up the ass, which means we can bring you the inaugural 'Agony Aunt' column. Every month Elizabeth Sankey (Summer Camp) will answer 3 of the best questions sent into us; from serious life dilemmas, to what you should call your new pet chinchilla. "Being someone to whom multiple social faux pas happen on an hourly basis, over the years I have accumulated a catalogue of cringing experiences. Thus I feel huge empathy with others over their ...
