A cool new animated series on MTV (yes THAT MTV) about Mondo, a chubby 15 year old boy from New Jersey who moves to Southern California and struggles to fit in while trying to impress a girl named Jeena.
The series premiered on MTV on October 27, 2011, the same night Beavis and Butthead made their glorious return to TV. Both shows are a significant departure from some of the complete shit that's been on the network in recent years.
The return of Beavis and Butthead and the premire of Good Vibes might be enough to help get MTV out of the mud and return it to it's glorious format it had in the nineties.

Early, iconic Manga/Anime series by Go Nagai from the late 70's. The story is about Akira, a shy, somewhat spineless teenager who discovers a demon mask from ancient Mayan civilizations and becomes a demonic hero setting out to fight other demons.
Notable fans of the series include Glenn Danzig and Rob Zombie.
Devilman kicks serious ass! If your into anime like Elfen Lied and Hellsing then this series is for you.

Chicago's Alternative. Created 1992, 101.1 on the dial. Played some great music. In the later years it did have a problem with overplaying certain songs, but always knew when to surprise listeners with great songs they hardly play.
In June 2011, Randy Michaels, former CEO of Chicago-based Tribune Co. purchased the station (along with another Chicago based station 97.9 The Loop) and announced plans to turn the format into a News-Talk station on August 1st. However, all normal programming stopped on July 14, with former DJs returning and many older songs rarely played anymore being played. The final show ended just after midnight, with music being played without DJs until July 18.
Q101 was a fantastic station. Fuck Randy Michaels for killing it for something stupid like a talk station.
RIP Q101

An Alternative Rock/Britpop band active from 1991 to 2009, fronted by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. Hit the big time in 1995 with the album "(What's the Story) Morning glory" and the song "Wonderwall". Other good songs include "Supersonic", "Champagne Supernova", and "The Shock of the lightning". Sadly, brotherly love wasn't always present in the band, and the last few years became less about music and more about Liam and Noel trying to one up each other (though their last album, 2008's "Dig out your soul" was pretty good), which lead to the band's breakup in Fall 2009. Noel started his own project while the other members and Liam started the band Beady Eye.
Oasis was a good band. It's too bad Liam and Noel couldn't work out their differences too well.

A strict dress code set up by schools to keep students in line. Originally used by Catholic and Private schools, uniforms have become a growing trend in public schools since the mid-90s. Uniforms in Public Schools are often put in to cut down on fights, rough housing, and gang activity and boost overall student performance, which turns out unsuccessful more than 99% of the time.
Aw dude did you hear? We're gonna have to start wearing school uniforms next year! Weak!

March 9, 1978-December 12, 1997, Brian Deneke was a Punk Rocker from Amarillo, TX, who was murdered by jock Dustin Camp due to Deneke's Punk Rock look. Camp only received Ten years probation and a $10,000 fine (though did serve brief prison time for violating the terms of his probation). The killing raised questions as to how tolerant Amarillo really is.
Brian Deneke was a good kid who was just living his life the way he wanted to. Dustin Camp is a miserable piece of shit who should be behind bars for the next 5 decades.
RIP Brian Theodore Deneke.
