A Fashion Police Time Out With Sean Avery

As many of you know, my fondness for former New York Ranger goes beyond a healthy love.  If asked to rank my top 10 favorite hockey players of all time, Mr. Avery would make it.  Annoying Martin Brodeur is fairly low on my favorite reasons, take away the man’s doughnuts and he’s cranky, but manage to anger the entire hockey watching world and be New York City’s darling?  That’s talent.  For a few bright moments, Sean Avery was Prince of New York.  

But with such a sparkling personality, he didn’t last long and has since fallen off-- UNTIL TONIGHT!

Tonight Sean Avery was a guest host on the E!’s Fashion Police with Joan Rivers, Kelly Osbourne, George Kotsiopoulos, and second guest host Alyssa Milano.  I’m here to review it for you.

Album Review - Nails - Abandon All Life

Let's travel back in time to late 2010, the first time I'd ever heard Nails, and my reaction to such event on a message board: 

"Holy shit. It's like being hit by a train carrying 10 tons of awesome."

Three years later, that statement still stands. "Abandon All Life" is their new album, and it just crushes skulls.
