Quite possibly the worst statement by a major pop star this decade.

(Photos: Michelle Garcia) I read once that Justin Timberlake changes his underwear six times a day. Besides wasting 2,000 pairs of boxers or briefs each year, this constant removal of his underclothing could also reveal an obsessive quality about the singer/actor/comedian/etc. It makes sense, as everything about his 20/20 Experience show at the Moda Center last Thursday was impeccable. Timberlake …

[xrr rating=3.25/5]“You’re killing me softly but we can go as hard as you want ta!” So sings Justin Timberlake in “Murder,” from the second half of The 20/20 Experience twin CDs. It’s bit of a weak line – and despite even Jay Z’s appearance on the track there’s nothing about it that even suggests hard. If anything, the fact that …

BS – “Douchebag Aviators” (Tommy Boy) What separates a pair of “douchebag aviator” sunglasses from the standard ones? Doesn’t matter.

Firstly, we witness Justin Timberlake and Christina Ricci making sweaty love while the Black Keys’ “When The Lights Go Out” hammers in the background. Then we see …

James Taylor in Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) Okay, let’s be real: the performance from Monte Hellman’s ’70s anti-road movie that everyone remembers is not James Taylor as the affectless, unnamed driver, but Warren Oates as his colorful racing rival. Oates is great fun to watch, but the film wouldn’t work without Taylor’s bewildered displacement — that weird sense that he seems …

Five years is an eternity in the life of a record. When coming up with this feature, the question the Spectrum Culture staff pondered was this: “How well do these albums play NOW!” Not five years ago, but how have they aged in our memories. While some acclaimed albums of ’06 remain strong on our list, some critically-lauded ones didn’t …
