I strongly suspect - though I have no concrete proof - that there is a significant subset of my neighborhood who would relish seeing me admit to being wrong about something. This post is for you. I love "Guitar Hero." It's the game for which I'...

Hey, remember those "Not Guilty" posts? We didn't think so. But we warned you they might turn up again sometime - you know, like a bad penny. Anyway, we'd be remiss if we didn't make some mention this week of the twenty-fifth anniversary of "Th...

we'd be willing to bet that, if asked, you wouldn't have guessed that our very first musically related post here at hotrod.vox.com was about they might be giants. hell, even we wouldn't have guessed and we wrote the thing, but there you go. it's...
