Anil's Maharaja Lounge Kabob and Curry HouseThis week I would like to talk about a hidden gem I found in Sonoma County, it is a little Indian restaurant in Santa Rosa. To be perfectly honest I stumbled into this restaurant on a whim because I was hungry and the wait at my initial choice was to long for me...

Top Five Movie characters no longer talked about
This article is about movie characters that are not really mentioned anymore and their badassness. Shanks holds a phD in badassness so don’t argue:
5. Don Logan from the movie Sexy Beast
In 2000 a British heist movie called Sexy Beast told the story of Gal a retired thief living with his...

Prostituting Love
I am a man that would fancy himself to be a romantic, but I absolutely hate Valentines Day. Valentines day is the one-day where we are suppose to be romantic. That notion of suppose to be has always struck me as odd, to me it’s like saying to a comedian that on this day you’re supposed to be funny...

All-Star game ho-hum, weak dunk contest The All-Star game was stupid, a parade of egos and pompous children. Each event was contrived and more fake than pleather. The negative reviews do not come from a bitter place inspired by the Monta Ellis triple snub. (Chauncy Billups, Chris Kaman, and Jason Kidd were all chosen...

Top Five most overrated movie characters
5. Napoleon Dynamite from Napoleon Dynamite
Napoleon was the epitome of every kid in high school that got the crap beat out of them.  This movie is basically about nothing and nothing happens it was a waste of time.
4. Michael Cerra + Jesse Eisenberg...

A Rantish Review of Bioshock 2
In my never ending quest to kill off boredom and an active social life, I recently picked up a copy of 2K games' BIOSHOCK 2 and I thought I could use this time to tell you why I would rather chew fistfuls of wet paper then play this game all the way through seriously. Here we go...

If Shanks was a Teacher these would be on your little Bastard's summer Reading List
10. A Clockwork Orange- Kids don't need books to be violent, but books will give them good ideas. A Clockwork Orange is basically like a fairytale on crack. Violent, violent British crack.
9. The Stand- Hands down Stephen King's best work...

Kobe-less Lakers beat Warriors
The Warriors put up a fight against the mighty Lakers, but couldn't take advantage in Kobe's absence. Instead, the W's let Shannon Brown get a career high 27 points. Its no longer shocking to see he Warriors lose, but I was shocked to see a picture of Shannon Brown on my Yahoo! homepage...

Finding Screamo
Commonly, when one is in a social setting or first meetng their classmates, a good ice breaker is talking about what kind of music everyone likes.You will commonly hear this: "I love pretty much every kind of music, except screamo." And you know when they say screamo, they mean metal...

Nights out with Shanks
Cheri's Cervical Cancer and Shank's: This last week after my show like usual my co-hosts and I went for our weekly slice of pie at Cheri's. Well as usual we sit down and order, relatively uneventful. Well apparently one of my co-hosts was wearing a shirt that read...

Warriors drub Kings, Curry outplays Evans
Warriors 130, Kings 98
The Warriors beat the Kings in convincing fashion Wednesday night by the score of 130- 98. A 31-3 Warriors run spanning most of the second quarter made it ugly early. During that run, Stephen Curry scored 11 points and dished out 6 assists.

Dear President Arminana
As a student here at SSU, I feel like I am entitled to further explanation as to what the charges are referring to regarding the back funds allegedly given to the CIHS. The previous email sent to the student body fails to elaborate the significance of this investigation...

Rough Times in Ropo
It's been a rough week in Rohnert Park. Everybody's heard of the investigation going on regarding the misappropriation of federal grant money at Sonoma State's California Institute of Human Services, but I was surprised at how few people had heard about the horrible murder of local guitar maker...

Upcoming Videogames and why I wont be playing any of them.
I used to be a gamer. I used to be excited for the release of a new title or the continuation of an epic saga. And then it all died for me. I cantsay whether it was my realization of the existence of women, my lack of finances to support a Video Game "addiction"...

 K-Rock on Todrick Halls and American Idol
 American Idol may be one of the most over dramatized show on television every tuesday night but for those die hard fans who thrive on the false sense of drama, we have one more bit that you can obsess about for the next couple weeks...

Conan the Misunderstood
So Hollywood has decided to take a childhood hero of mine and turn it into another shitty movie that just portrays him as a sword swinging dick head. My boss, NOG, felt this needed the writing crews’ attention, so I got assigned this article. For those of you who don’t know...

You a Losty?
Let's talk about Lost, the show that everybody loves or hates.  I've never watched the show on account of the fact that I don't like soap operas, which is what Lost is.  Recently though, meaning in the last couple days, I did some research on the show so I could write a theory to add to all the other ones on the internet...

Is it Just Me??...
I would like to start off by saying that I am a fan of the human race, for the most part.  As far as the other part goes, I would not like to take credit for, or engage in any of the insane endeavors people get into.  With that said, I raise a couple of ideas for people to ponder...

Tell me why I love you
These days, experimental music is becoming mainstream. It's easy to find people who love industrial, for example, where a couple years back it was in someone's dusty and exquisitely torturous closet somewhere. Now, everyone knows the Mars Volta. Now, everyone listens to metal, and vaguely remembers what punk is...

A Knight vs. a Samurai
The Japanese Samurai Versus the European Knight. Perhaps my favorite scenario to ponder…who would have the advantage in a fight between the two?  My housemates, friends, and I have been known to engage in very in depth, adamant, sometimes drunken debates...

Warriors beat Pistons after trailing at halftime
The Warriors found a way to beat the Pistons Saturday night without leading scorer Monta Ellis. Not entirely shocking, as Stephen Curry has been better than Ellis since the All-Star break. The Pistons shot a lousy 42 percent (11- 26) from he free throw line and allowed the Warriors back into the game...

Why you will play Battlefield Bad Company 2
This game is excellent. Just thought Id get that out of the way early. This game shows that game developers are finally starting to learn from one another, and more importantly from their and each others mistakes. Bad Company 1 was excellent too...

Album Review: Gorillaz- Plastic Beach
Let it never be said that I dislike indy hip-hop. This must be said first, before I tell you this review, because it was a little heartbreaking. The Gorillaz, a sort-of experimental band from the UK manned entirely by cartoon monkeys. The band is the brainchild of two Indy scenesters...

Concerts you don’t want to miss and why Part I
Coachella -April 16-18 Coachella Valley
Ok let’s start big because that’s how we do it in KSUN. This concert is beyond words for me. The amount of amazing bands you will hear at this 3-day music orgasm will blow your mind. If you go to the lineup page...

Bands I'm Not Allowed to Like Anymore
Linkin Park- Linkin Park is one of my favorite nostalgic bands. I used to rock out to their wicked angry pubescent lyrics and (what i thought backthen) heavy intricate guitar riffs. Having given them another listen, off the album Hybrid Theory...
