produced by Lauren Bartley Some people are scared of clowns. Like, very very terrified of clowns. Maybe it's the face paint. Maybe it's the blank expressions. Or maybe it's the forged optimism. Whatever it may be, many find them frightening as shit. This is the story of Christine Vineyard. Christine had a dream involving clowns for wayyyyyy too long.

For prospective interns, we have them send in three to five minutes of audio basically telling us who they are. They are asked to not just read us their resume. In the past, we've had interns rap their cover letter (special shout out to Snadecki). We thought Lauren's audio was honest and worth posting. All we did was add music to it.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/02/fashion/mens-style/27-ways-to-be-a-modern-man.html?_r=0 In response to The New York Times article on what defines the modern man, we sent our interns to find out what Metro commuters really thought about the matter.

By Alana Pedalino Voice recording by THE great Andy Duke The Leftovers has gone stale. Though the HBO series’ second season has garnered positive reviews so far, I ain’t buying what HBO is selling. It’s not that the show is bad – HBO wouldn’t have greenlit it if it was. However, after a lukewarm first season that withheld action and information until its ninth episode or so, I had expectations for the second season to be different and elicit more growth from its main characters. Unfortunately, all that seems to be different is the setting and the directors’ choice to include more racial diversity in some not-so-subtle casting decisions. Actually, subtlety is a weak point for The Leftovers. The show tries so hard to be bizarre and symbolic and it just doesn’t work. It has plenty of opportunities to be surrealist and clever, but misses out on most of them. That combined with the utter joylessness of the show and all of its characters makes this show a pretty depressing watch. Don’t get me wrong, it’s underst

We've sat on this for quite some time. Max Richter is composer for HBO's series, "The Leftovers." He's a classical genius, with a contemporary edge. We waited on this because we wanted to do this right and still really want to do more. But being that the series returns to the screen this Sunday, we figure why not hear what we were able to cut up. The Leftovers Season 2 airs this Sunday, October 4 at 9pm. Till then, here's a of Season 2: Episode #1 Clip "Nora & Erika" (HBO) https://youtu.be/m055pnQ-S-k Photo credit: Van Redin/HBO

We went to Firefly Music Festival and had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Cody Simpson. There we sat, in Dover, DE in a tent that gave its strongest attempt at shielding us somewhat from the humidity. Cody spoke to us about his new album, Free and what it means to him. He also sheds light on who influences him and what he's learned along his journey. The kid is kinda wise for being only 18. Enjoy. "True" by Spandau Ballet "Free" by Cody Simpson "Love" by Cody Simpson "Thrasher" by Neil Young "Raag Basant" by Ustad Rashid Khan "Don't Wanna Be Your Girl" by Wet "Lenny" by Stevie Ray Vaughan "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison

His name is Michael Davidson and he's all about the grilled cheese sandwich. Her name is Laura Gorman and she's our SF correspondent. Once again, she picks the brain of a unique foodie. Music used for this were beats from "Fresh Beets" which was an album by the now defunct Mass Productions. Now they go by the name Zeds Dead. It's a great album. Cop that shit.
